How do you know when it’s time for a change?

September 17, 2014

Change is hard and it is scary. But it can also be exhilarating. I got to thinking about this as I change my exercise rotation. I’ve had a very successful run at doing barre (ballet-type) exercises. I think it’s time for a change though and so I’ve been doing P90X3. (Which stands for Power 90 […]

The little plant that could

September 10, 2014

The driveway is pavement and the garage floor is concrete. There is the smallest space where they meet. The sun beats down on this every day. There must be all of a teaspoon of soil in the space. Yet, a little seed landed here took root. The portulaca is flourishing. Who would have thought? Seeing […]

A day in the life of Mr. Ken

September 3, 2014

I have shared with you what my typical day is like, What is your perfect day? Now I thought I would share what my dear husband’s day is like. 6:00 AM — Wake up and go for a walk. Now dear Mr. Ken is not really a morning person, so this was quite a surprise […]

Is it luck or is it something else?

August 27, 2014

I’ll admit it, I am envious of people I consider to be lucky. Everything seems to go their way. They have the perfect job, the perfect family and the perfect life. Well, not really, since you never know what other people are facing. I have started using Facebook to follow and interact with my favorite […]

Rocks under the water

August 20, 2014

We’ve had an awesome kayaking season this year; the weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve mainly kayaked on the Charles River. Every time we go there, […]

Expensive doesn’t always mean better

August 13, 2014

Sure, if you shop at high end stores like Nordstrom’s and Tiffany’s, you expect good service, but you don’t have to break the bank to get this kind of service. My new favorite store is Ocean State Job Lot. These are like Dollar Stores, where everything is pretty cheap. I love this store almost as […]

What kayaking has taught me about life

July 16, 2014

For those of you who have read my other blog posts, you know that my loves in life are: Peeps, kayaking, exercise, Mr. Ken and chipmunks. Although, not necessarily in that order. This kayaking season has been awesome; we’ve have perfect weather. We’ve only been kayaking on the local Charles River, but once you’re out […]

How yoga has brought me closer to God

July 9, 2014

It is a gorgeous day! I had a great night’s sleep, did some exhilarating yoga and was off to start my day. I was walking down the street and a tremendous feeling of gratitude came over me. I am grateful for my strong and healthy body, the sunshine, my faith, and my family. As I […]

All it takes is 10 minutes

July 2, 2014

Okay, I am now convinced that a 10 minute interval is a very good thing. No surprise, some exercise convinced me. I used to think that if I couldn’t exercise for a solid 60 minutes, that it wasn’t worth exercising. Well, life gets in the way sometimes. I love how a quick 10 minute stretch […]

Confessions of a reformed runner

June 25, 2014

Torn hip cartilage, acute trochanteric bursitis, knee tendonitis, plantar fasciitis. These are just a few of the ailments that I’ve accumulated over the past few years. Flash forward to today and I am totally pain free. What happened? In short, I wasn’t listening to my body. No, I wasn’t running marathons. Heck I wasn’t even […]
