Day 4 – Commitment

By Karen | July 4, 2019 |

Well, I did it. I got up this morning, went to the gym and worked out for a little over an hour. As I expected, once I was done I was very happy with myself. I of course wondered why I don’t just do that every morning. I was tired when the alarm went off…

Day Three – No More Excuses

By Karen | July 3, 2019 |

Okay so again this morning, I turned the alarm off and went back to sleep. Even worse, I forgot to take the medicine I usually take at 5AM and I didn’t remember that until after 9. I actually woke again about 6:45 and probably could have gone to the gym then but I have it…

Day 2 – Hydration and Self Reflection

By Karen | July 2, 2019 |

So this morning didn’t work out either. I still had a tough time getting to sleep but I did get more sleep than the night before. I think I might have to change a few things around. In my effort to stay hydrated and drink half my body weight in ounces of water (I may…

By Karen | July 1, 2019 |

Sleep is elusive these days, unless it’s time to wake up in the morning.

Besides the comic element they both bring to the discussion, they make some very good points about the importance of women having a strong network of female friends. I…

What Are Your Limiting Beliefs?

By Karen | April 29, 2019 |

I have seen this video many times and it never fails to choke me up. I love this man’s story of strength, perseverance and ultimate victory. I think it speaks to the resilience of the human spirit when a person has someone else’s belief in them and also believes in themselves enough to use the energy from that belief…

It’s a Dog Day

By Karen | April 27, 2019 |

Some of my favorite “people” have had four legs. We were away for five days and haven’t yet picked up our dog Monet from the kennel today, so I was thinking how much I miss her. Even though she’s ten or eleven years old, she still brings a childlike joy to our home.  We recently…
