Sixty is the new forty – so they say – and I believe it!

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Sixty is the new forty! Today I attempted something that up until 4 months ago never would have crossed my mind. Today I did a half-marathon in NYC. A girlfriend, Yolanda Lowe, had suggested this but I initially thought it was outrageous.  It was so not how I saw my exercise program…

A Time for Response not Reaction

Spring has arrived, Easter and Passover have come and gone, the sun is shining, the water looks beautiful and the buds and flowers are beginning to bloom.

Another Adventure – with a Friendship Twist.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today is Valentine’s Day and I am amazed at the number of single girlfriends who are sending texts wishing me a happy Valentine’s Day.  We all go through those periods of our lives when we look for that special someone to spend time with, to buy the right gift for, and to celebrate romance with.
