Who doesn’t love a fresh start? Sometimes one month simply melts into the next without fanfare. Some months are on pre-order with plans and ideas that fill up daily schedules long before the time arrives. And some months give us opportunities, practically screaming “fresh start” as the calendar page is turned. September is one of… Continue reading Fresh start

Why I’m fine with 59
“Age ain’t nothin’ but a number ” has never been my favorite quote of the day. For me, age is a virtual big box filled with a collection of dreams, memories, aches, pains, laughter, hope, and sometimes regret.

My top 5 picks for warmer weather
“My dreams are made of sun and sand.” Swimsuits are front row center at my local Target. Two friends are planning Caribbean getaways. And I’d rather shop for spring and summer on a snowy day. Swimsuits are a dicey business whether you are 15 or 50. We are beach lovers and swimwear is not optional so… Continue reading My top 5 picks for warmer weather

Aging in place. #AIP. This. Yes. Something like 89% of boomers want to age in place. Well duh. Boomers, Gen X&Y and now Millennials have watched their parents and grandparents struggle fiercely to stay home even as the inevitability of aging takes its toll on health. The next chapter in this worst story ever is… Continue reading Aging in place #LetsAllStayHome
