Let me first start off by saying I did try to exercise at the beginning, when the COVID Stay at Home Orders were first issued. Prior to that, I had finally gotten into a really solid gym routine, which often included a sauna or massage bed reward at the end. I know how hard it is to get motivated again, so I tried, I really tried to t find a way to continue that at home, it was a struggle with Netflix and books, and NO massage bed or gym friends to hold me accountable…
When the Pandemic hit the US, we were ordered Stay “safe at home” to limit the spread of COVID-19. Many people immediately went stir crazy at the thought of not leaving their premises. I, however, have always enjoyed the solitude of weekends and school holidays…

It is Friday June 3, 2016 and the California Institute for Women is in full institutional lock-down. A homicide occurred in Harrison B, the unit next door to mine. Full lock-down is just that, no movement, no work or school, no recreation, no showers…
Often, we’re our own worst enemy. Procrastination, self-doubt, denial, and laziness are just some of the ways we hold ourselves back from achieving true success…
In the business world, a brand is anything—a symbol, design, name, sound, emotion, tone, and much more—that separates one thing from another. Your personal brand is how the world sees YOU. Jennifer Anniston looks like the nice All American girl next door (that doesn’t seem to age)! Oprah Winfrey is self-made, powerful, authentic (and rich)! Much like the business world, it is the qualities that define YOU. The best part is, YOU have the power to decide what that looks like.

We are all affected when someone we love is diagnosed with cancer. When my two best friends told me their devastating news, I wanted to help; I wanted them to know I was there for them with my love and support. Mostly, I felt very helpless!!!
When you are single, people think it’s open season for match making. They assume if they know 2 single people then by all means pair them like wine and cheese.

Don’t understand health insurance! Join the Club!
In this article, I will attempt to explain the difference between a “traditional” health insurance plan, and an “HSA qualified” medical plan,” also known as HSA’s. **
Finding health insurance can be a daunting task, and understanding what you’re buying is even more stress-inducing and painful! So how do you even begin? First, don’t panic! There is always help. Finding health insurance is NOT, I repeat, NOT something you should do alone. Let me break down the steps.

Modern society teaches us that the best measures of success are productivity and achievement. However, this perspective takes its toll on our health, especially when it comes to sleep.
I always tell people “if you knew you were going to die next week, would you spend today cleaning and eating rice cakes?”
So…there I was, sitting on the couch contemplating the universe. I do that quite often, contemplating that is. Most often the depth of my contemplation is just about flowers or my fingernails, but today I dove off the deep end into the whole universe thing…
Managing our mind may sound overly simple, but at the most basic level, we DO have a choice over our minds. We really CAN choose to control what stories spin in our brains. However, choosing to control what occupies our minds takes patience, courage, and practice…
I have a friend who chooses a word each year to focus on. I have admired this practice for several years but never got around to choosing a word. This year however, a word kept popping into my head, so I decided this was the year to give it a try. The word I chose is JOY...
For me, my journey to true self-love and happiness began late in life and not until I was nearly age 52. After the loss of both my parents I had a “wake-up” call about my own health and the quality of my own experiences here on Earth School.

There is a paradox that we as women often find ourselves in. On the one hand, we are expected to be super women in all aspects of our life. We are expected to juggle family, family crisis, work, work crisis, and all other matters of life and death with ease and success. And because we live in one of the most prosperous countries in the world, we are expected to be happy, joyful, put together women on a daily basis as we master the chaos around us.
