Even if you are in a good place in life, you can’t get complacent. You do not grow without movement – which is bad enough. But, as Will Rogers pointed out, it gets much worse because

10 Things You Should Have in Your Bathroom if You’re Over 50

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Shel

1. Magnifying mirror. Because objects seen in regular mirrors are really larger than they appear. The little hair chin – that is actually two inches long, the stray brow – which is actually creating a bridge across your nose, that cute freckle – that is actually a smear of lunch’s BBQ sauce.

Try It – You’ll Like It

Posted on July 23, 2015 by Shel

How many of us can say we took a chance on something and surprised ourselves by liking it? Whether you were encouraged (is that really the word I’m looking for?) to eat your vegetables or try new ones, or you can remember the ad campaigns “try it – you’ll like it” for Life cereal, you can probably…

Recess – It’s What’s for Lunch!

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Shel

There’s no doubt that a break, somewhere in your otherwise routine day, is beneficial and can lead to more productive hours in the aftermath.

Travelin’ Light(er)

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Shel

Just got back from a 16-day road trip. Following my usual post-travel routine, the morning after arriving home I pulled out the bathroom scale, stepped on, breathed deeply, and peered through squinted eyes at the numbers.

Motivational Monday #20

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Shel
