This coming weekend is my church bazaar. I could say that means it will be odd but this year I will not be there. Normally, I try to get to the bazaar at least once. It runs for two days from 4-11 and then a chicken BBQ on Sunday after church. My big problem is… Continue reading Summer Time
The year is half over and I need to check in with my goals and challenges that I started at the beginning of the year. Things are not looking good but I can turn this year around if I concentrate and am consistent. Fitness I’m sticking with my not running a full marathon this… Continue reading Goal Revisit
One of the things I love about the #sweatpink sisterhood is some of the challenges involve mad libs. Trust me when I say these are huge hits around my family table at holidays, non-#sweatpink style. To start the 1 Million Minutes challenge that runs from June 21 to August 21, here’s the latest mad lib.… Continue reading Mad Libs, #SweatPink style
June is not the middle of the year but May is basically over so we are fast approaching a half a year gone by and I am not totally sure where that half a year has gone.

It’s a new year. For some reason, we seem programmed to evaluate and start reshaping our lives at the start of new years. Why we don’t pick March 15 or April 15 is beyond me. I do not really call these resolutions. These are goals. Hopefully, with an injury free year, I’ll meet all my… Continue reading Goals, Aspirations, Resolutions
Maybe I should take that a week at a time. This Monday was going to be the start of me posting here regularly again. I was going to do a three day recap of my goals for this wonderful year I am still currently in – though my recaps would lead you to believe the… Continue reading A Better Year Coming
I’ve discovered just what being sandwiched between children and parents means. I quickly, almost a month ago, packed my bags and got my house in order to leave two adult children in NY while I flew to California. My mother is ill and I am helping with her care at the moment. I have spent… Continue reading Sandwiched
Do you ever question your beliefs? Your faith? Beliefs are grown and brought about through life. Because life is constantly changing, one would think beliefs would also constantly change. In many cases, people do not see this and wonder why they feel so out of sync with their own lives. My thought process brings… Continue reading Questions, Beliefs and Faith
