My eighty-seven-year-old mother is coming to visit in two weeks. What do you think that she asked for? She didn’t care what food I had or what activities we would do, she wanted to know if I belonged to a gym with a recumbent treadmill and if I had leg weights. She uses heavier leg… Read more »
I love putting things together. Give me an Allen Wrench and I am in heaven. I have assembled desks, chairs, shelving units, tv stands and lamps for myself and my children. We make a project out of it. They buy chocolate, and I sit on the floor with a hundred (more or less) parts and… Read more »
Last night at a party I met a woman who was complaining about how hard it is to meet people in Santa Fe and how everyone seems to be in a relationship leaving single people like her out. I have found just the opposite to be true. I have been invited to more parties in… Read more »

Last week I went to a new chiropractor. She spent a half hour looking at my body and telling me what my tendencies were that kept me off balance. I usually put more weight on my left foot, my left thigh was more developed, I twisted my pelvis to the left and contracted my right… Read more »
The other day I attended a workshop for women. The topic was learning about Extroverts and Introverts. I don’t use the term “versus” because most of us are a combination of both. We took a short quiz and determined where we each stood on the continuum. I tested between middle to introvert. I think… Read more »
The centering thought for today’s meditation is My Happiness Shines Everywhere. Studies show that positive behavior in one person spreads to people around them. Panache Desai said that one person coming fully into themselves impacts 7.2 billion people. I’m not sure how he came up with that number, but I get the idea. Here is… Read more »
