COVID 19 Enough said, isn’t it? We are definitely stressed about this situation. I am married to a healthcare professional and I have children. In a matter of days, most of us have had to take on the roles of full time teachers, homeschoolers, entertainers, on demand snack fixers and above all, our family’s sanity…
The Therapy that is “Walking”
Walk, track and walk more! Small steps add up to really big steps. As cliche as that is, it is TRUE! Go figure 🙂 Have any of you every put thought into how much walking you actually do? If you have a smart phone, there is an app for this. In fact there are hundreds….
Living with no regrets.
I am firm believer that everyone has a choice in every situation. Sometimes things will not go as planned, unexpected and unfortunate situations happen and relationships are tested. For every situation, we can choose, and therefore control, how we respond. Our response will determine how we feel as a result of the situation. One thing…
All You’ve Got Is You – Self Care Revisited
There is absolutely nothing selfish about self care. We have been conditioned for a very long time to only be givers, to be supporters, to be the backbone, to be smiling, to be the martyrs, to be present, to show up. It is important to do all of those things, but it is important that…

I love to travel. I have a husband who loves to travel. Se we do. A lot. We also have two kids. We’ve had them for a while :). They come where we go. They don’t get a choice, and I don’t think they mind. We don’t think about not taking them. Ever. They’ve traveled…
Great Expectations…
So, I don’t know how to do this perfectly. I haven’t been a blogger for long. It has taken me years to actually start writing regularly.
