I feel like I’m a lifetime dieter. Well, maybe not lifetime, but certainly over half a lifetime! One thing I have discovered in my many ups and downs–because I am definitely the QUEEN of Yoyo Dieting–is that while it is important to eat healthfully, watch calories, and not binge, it is equally important to not deprive … Continue reading One Sweet Bite

Now that there are fewer than 30 days until the “big day,” it’s all getting real. Somehow I will soon be 60. And, honestly, a lot could happen in the next 30 days. You never know when the last time you see a loved one will be. So why are we so negligent in expressing our love … Continue reading Tell Me Now

Before I get started on today’s topic, this is the halfway point for what I had planned to do with this blog. If anyone out there is reading it and enjoying it, let me know and I may continue after I turn 60. I enjoy writing it and hope some of you have enjoyed reading … Continue reading Tip Please!

Today’s post is more of a “do what I say and not what I do” topic. Here’s a news flash: You can’t do it all! Whether it has to do with your job, your home, your car, or any other part of your life, you can’t physically, mentally, or emotionally handle every single task that needs … Continue reading Let Others Help You!

It also helps get rid of stress, helps curb pain, and can release endorphins–all making you feel better. I know being with friends who continuously make me laugh is among my favorite things in my life. Second to that is watching … Continue reading Laugh And Your World Laughs With You.

I see people walking kind of zombielike trying to find little creatures around town. While I appreciate that getting gamers away … Continue reading Pokéneck, Pokéback, Poképosture!

For most of my life, the most traveling I did was back and forth to work. For some reason, I have rarely had a job within 10 miles of home, so driving 45 miles each way makes for a 90 mile round trip and that’s traveling! Once I discovered the joy of REAL traveling, I … Continue reading Will Work For Travel!

I was not (nor am I now) a makeup aficionado in high school. I wore the obligatory blue or green eye shadow, but not much else. Since then–actually long after high school–I have discovered the true joy of makeup. It covers a multitude of skin flaws (particularly flaws that appear with age) and makes me feel … Continue reading I Feel Pretty!

It’s important that we worship often. The definition of “worship” is “the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.” Therefore, worship is not necessarily attending a church service every week. I’ve done that in my past. In fact, I taught 2 and 3 year old Sunday School for a few years. And … Continue reading Worship In Your Way
