Why kayak into the wind

June 6, 2018

It’s kayaking season again and it is my favorite time of year. It is especially nice to go out on these early summer days before it gets too hot and humid. The only down side is that it can be quite windy. The other day was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 80 degrees. […]

Just get out there and do it!

May 16, 2018

By now, most of you know that I injured my foot last December and had to have multiple foot surgeries in March. The surgeon just cleared me for resuming my regular activities – yay. I was looking forward to restarting my “pod” walks. These are guided cardio walks (from a MP3 player – hence the […]

Let it go

Comments Off on Let it go

This sounds a lot easier than it is. I am a person who likes to be in total control of my life. This started from a very young age and I was raised by very strict parents. My whole life was pretty much charted out for me: be a good student, get into a good […]

Here we go again

March 21, 2018

So the annoying pains on the bottom of my feet turned out to be a bigger deal than I had hoped. I had surgery last Friday to remove a large neuroma (nerve growth) on the bottom of my right foot. I also had two large cysts removed, one from my right foot and one from […]

Tips for watching the Super Bowl

February 7, 2018

Blah, blah, blah. I don’t like football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it. This dates back to my junior high days when I was a cheerleader. We had a […]

What is possible

January 24, 2018

So my foot pains have not gone away; they have gotten worse. I went to the doctor and he decided to give me a cortisone shot to help with the pain. Well, ouch – the shots made my foot feel as though it was on fire. Not exactly conducive to walking and an active life […]

Running for the train

I had a my Harvard project team meeting in Cambridge. I love these days! I take the commuter train into Boston and then I walk to Harvard Square. I always say I get my city fix this way. I walk through Beacon Hill, Kendall Square, Central Square and Harvard Square. We had a lot to […]

Little things can make a BIG difference

December 13, 2017

With the shorter days, I find it a lot easier to fit in my meditation practice. One of my meditation teachers gently tells us to, “Stop wanting things to be different. Be content with things just the way they are.” We all want something in our lives to be different; if only I had more […]

Hidden Boston – Bay Village

November 8, 2017

Comments Off on Hidden Boston – Bay Village

Boston is such a great city for walking. A few weeks ago, a dear friend took me for a walking tour of Bay Village in Boston. Bay Village is the smallest officially recognized neighborhood in Boston and is home to about 1300 residents. It is near Back Bay and the architecture is very similar to […]

A local walk in the woods

October 25, 2017

Even though I live in a suburban, built-up area, I can still find nice, natural places to walk. One such place is the campus at Wellesley College, specifically around their Lake Waban. It was a glorious fall day last week and I wanted to take advantage of this nice weather. Here are some of the […]
