Today is my 65th birthday. I know that for some women, it is heresy to admit this milestone, but for me, I only see it as finally getting my dues: health insurance and movie tickets at a discount. Actually, to be honest, I don’t feel “old” even though my daughter’s birthday wish included the phrase, “you are finally an old lady”. To me the passage of time has only … Read More

I’ll admit it – I was a Pitch Perfect addict. I paid to see the ode to a cappella in theaters. Twice.
I rented the movie on Pay Per View. I watched it on cable…oh…let’s not count the number of times.

Every time I have taken a spill, I insist that I remount, because I know that getting right back on the horse is the … Read More
Other than my own wedding which was so long ago, the details escape my memory, I have only attended one bridal suite pre-wedding regalia. That was recently at my daughter in law’s bequest. There the bride and her attendants, wrapped in specially monogrammed robes, were pampered by makeup artists and hairstylists who morphed them into ladies in waiting.

Last week, I finally found a yoga group here in Cabo that I could attend regularly. It’s been 3 years since I attended a class, distracted as I was from my own needs in my overwhelming quest to control events in my life that were, let’s say, not in my control. I missed the refuge it once provided and the side benefits of just feeling more right with myself. It … Read More
