Peace Can Be Fun!

Yes!  Peace can be fun — and is fun at Peace Village! In our last post, “What’s the Name of Your Village?” I shared with you many of the classes and activities the campers engaged in throughout the week.  From meditation to walking the labyrinth, from learning about nature and nutrition, to experiencing the wonders of Mother Earth.  All the while, having fun in a relaxing, loving, and peaceful environment. Here, see for yourself…. Peace Village is surrounded by these majestic mountains:   Classes were held both indoors and outdoors: Peace Village Co-Directors: ~~~~ ~~~~ As I’ve said on numerous Continue reading >>

Goofy-Juice or Confidence?

No parent looks forward to their child going into surgery.  True, the surgery may be necessary and you may feel in your heart that it’s the right thing to do for your child, but the pure act of going into surgery is a bit unnerving. Each time my son has been wheeled away on the hospital bed, I’ve stood and watched his head grow smaller and smaller as he leaves my side, being carted down the hallway, until finally they turn a corner, out of sight.  Last week was no different. It begins the same every time.  Doctor’s appointments, followed Continue reading >>

The Art of Managing Your Life (Or Not)

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives.  Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.“  ~Jim Rohn   Do you plan out your day?  Your week?  Your month?  If so, how much do you plan?  How far do you take it?  I’ve known people who could easily have PhD’s in planning… from Harvard!, and others who wouldn’t know what a simple calendar looked like, much less how to use it, if it hit them up-side the head. So, where do I fit in?  Post PhD — I’m the Continue reading >>

The #1 Weight Loss Sabotager

In the previous post, How I Lost My Last 14 Pounds, I shared with you a daily log of what the scale read for SIX WEEKS as I lost the remaining pounds to take me back to my pre-surgery weight.  Weight, that for whatever reason, would simply not come off. What I shared was data — actual numbers on a scale, something women very rarely do! And as personal as numbers on the scale may be to many, what I’m going to share today are some personal discoveries around what I see as the #1 weight loss sabotager. I Had Continue reading >>

A Day of Pleasure. WITH NO GUILT. (You Can Do It, Too!)

Last Friday, I: started the day with my absolute favorite beverage on Earth (bubble tea), which alone would have me singing and dancing, but, I coupled that with girlfriend time/stimulating conversation.  Heaven! followed by, a massage.  My first since before the diagnosis.  Although I was uncomfortable at times (I still have quite a few ‘dead patches’ where the nerves haven’t yet regenerated on the backs of my arms and lower shoulder area, along with not being able to lie down comfortably face down), with some minor adjustments, it was a great massage!  One of the best ever!  Very pleasurable. then, Continue reading >>
