It doesn’t take us much to come up with the list of things that equated to that moment of laying on the bed, holding your breath, trying to button your jeans and praying the zipper doesn’t pop.

Pent Up Farts and Public Poops
Pent Up Farts and Public Poops
It’s unladylike and we don’t do that! This was what I remember of a nun in my 3rd grade math class telling us girls about manners.

She spent the rest of class in the corner, after being laughed at by her classmates and scolded by the teacher. She probably has never farted…

The Middle Aged Sight Line
The Middle Aged Sight Line
I was sitting in the chair getting my eyes checked when the doctor said I should consider readers. He said most people need them by the time they are 40 and I had clearly passed that at being 47. It was time though he softly said. Inside I was wanting to cry at this message. How did this happen? When did I become old enough for things I told myself I would never need? There it was though, me…

https://youtu.be/iWndptPfkLQ I think we as Americans have lost the beauty of changing seasons. Oh sure, we get all excited for Fall and its pumpkin spiced laden style but we have forgotten how to truly live seasonally.

How to do Grounding
When I first heard someone talk about grounding I thought they were kidding. I have since childhood barely kept shoes on my feet. Don’t get me wrong, I love shoes but my preference is always to be barefooted as much as possible. Inside, outside it doesn’t matter. In no way did I ever imagine this personal preference as one of the most healing things I could do for my body, mental health and…

The Truth Behind "I'm Fine"
We all say it. That quick response to the question, “How are you?” As if there is not a single other thing we can say other than, “I’m fine.” It’s just how conversations go most of the time.

Why Your M.D. Doesn't Recognize Adrenal Fatigue as a Diagnosis

Meditation for the Stressed Out Woman Who Can't Sit Still to Meditate
I really wanted to be good at meditation but instead I was the Julia Roberts in Eat, Love, Pray falling sound asleep and snoring during meditation class.
