Welcome to a new series called Movement Monday.

Morning journaling is a great way to dump clutter from your brain so that you can start the day with a fresh perspective.

Smoothies have become a new favorite over the last year.

It’s that time of year again to revisit your Wish List.

Starting something over in midlife comes with a treasure trove of experience to draw from.

Did you lose your sense of wonder along the path to adulthood? Can I encourage you to go find it this holiday season?

One of the reasons I moved to NYC was that it is a walking culture. Keep reading to see why that’s important.

Yes, you’ll spend more time in the loo but keeping your body hydrated is so very important.

Preparation makes things far less scary. If we can learn to regulate our systems in calm times, we create a reservoir to pull from when worry threatens to overwhelm us.

I’ve taken a long hard look at my drinking habits and have not always liked what I saw. How does alcohol show up in your life?

We all need a little break on occasion to refill our cup.

I love a good Challenge. Whether it’s Whole 30, Dry January or 75 Hard, I usually learn something about myself and find one or two new habits to incorporate into my lifestyle.

As if I didn’t have enough medical drama on my plate over the last few months. Not only did I have an appendix to deal with and the subsequent frozen shoulder, one of my two remaining baby teeth finally gave up the fight.

Did you know a frozen shoulder can be an unwelcome symptom of perimenopause thanks to a loss of ovarian function and the drop in circulating estrogen? I didn’t, but I do now.

When you find yourself in a long, dark winter, can you embrace what the season is trying to teach you? I can be stubborn so a ruptured appendix wasn’t enough to get my attention.

I was meant to fly Mint.

My Google search history was an entertaining mix of medical questions, pop culture and biohacking prior to my surgery. I guess not that much different than my normal searches.

I am one-week Post-op and feeling pretty good but healing takes time and is not something you can rush or push through. I’m learning to give my body the tools it needs and to be patient with it.

Even when Birthdays are less than celebratory, it’s still a good time to reflect on the last year around the sun and take stock of all things big and small that made the year great.

The practice of Gratitude can create a shift in us that reminds us to focus on what we have and not what we think we might lack.
