Healing Through Spinning? Maybe...

About a month into spring, and I'm loving the warmth, sun, and blossoming trees and flowers. The lilac bushes near our home have bloomed and the scent is intoxicating.

I Hate New Year's Resolutions!

Happy New Year! I love this time of year, but I can’t stand the pressure behind New Year’s Resolutions. Everyone’s got something they want to do differently or better.

The Reality of IE and Yoga!

I was looking forward to writing a jam-packed newsletter and blog for August. But, life happened. Actually, COVID-19 happened. First my husband, and now me. He’s okay, and I’m improving, but it’s taken a lot of out me. Everything drains me, and it’s difficult to think coherently. I look forward ... Read More

Savor the summer, including your summer body!

Well, it’s July, which means it’s time for hot weather, swimming, barbecues, evenings on the patio with friends, and much more depending on what you enjoy this time of year.
