Weather the Storm
I just received a text from a friend and she used the word "resilience," —she even quoted the definition, which got me thinking. Of course we all would like to be more resilient or maybe even think we already are. But today I simply want us to give the act of...
Motivational Monday!
I was watching a show the other day and it was a "before and after" kind of show. This particular show was about a house and the transformation was unbelievable. Some of the changes were big, like knocking down walls, but some were quite small, like changing the paint...

Target Practice
My mother-in-law was visiting us from Saturday until yesterday. She is a very young 80-something, current with technology, and actively uses her fit-bit! She and I both have step targets each day and we were dalkingiscussing how we try to reach them. Here's the...
