A few weeks ago while training for a half marathon I tripped in the dark running downhill on the sidewalk and hit my knee straight on the hardest I’ve ever done. I had no choice but to keep running to get home but the next day my knee swelled up and I knew I had...
So, if you have followed any of the crazy news a few weeks ago, there was a stock mania around the nearly defunct retailer GameStop (#GME). Sadly, my son and I were sucked into waiting for the short squeeze to be squoze (and still holding our shares, LOL!). I wrote this parody of Billy Joel's...
Digging into the memory banks, I realized I saw Chick Corea live when I played the Jacksonville Jazz Festival with Pacific Mambo Orchestra in 2017.

In fact, my weight climbed, my husband continued to bring home donuts, cakes and pan Mexicano, and I continued to eat...

365 day blog challenge Day 5 I watched a video today (see below) from this stretching guru whose YouTube channel, called Strength Side, has really taken off. He said something that resonated about not just choosing goals that you’ve heard about or that you think will impress others. Instead of always chasing the results, think about...
Aren’t these chords fantastic?! And the storytelling too.

You will have something that won’t irritate your face — in fact, it’s moisturizing — and you can also replace that pesky plastic bottle. Using...
