The years you live are defined by the directions you choose and the trail you leave. Our mind is our communication line and defines our attitude about those directions and the trail we leave.

Ageing is staying on the vine until you are ripe.

Merriam Webster Says
‘aging’ is : ‘the period contemporary with a person’s lifetime or with his or her active life b: along time- usually used in plural <haven’t seen him in ages>: an individual’s development measured in terms of the years requisite for like development of an average individual’.
I especially like the ‘along time’ insertion. […]

Lately, almost every woman’s magazine and website I read is proclaiming “How to Lose Weight After 40″ as if they’re some secret formula to losing weight. Yes, after 40 your metabolism slows down but when I read the articles it all boils down to calories in versus calories out. The best advice I’ve taken from […]

I do have a positive attitude most of the time… and to help it along, my day job demands it.

I went to the doctors yesterday
To see about a wound
I’d trodden on a rusty nail
Just as the week-end loomed
 
He sent me over to A and E
To have my anti-tet
When I arrived the place was shut
The concrete hadn’t set
 
“It’s over here” informed a nurse
She pointed to a pod
But as I turned and looked
I saw the queue […]

Thanksgiving morning and the first thing I see is a deer out my front window. The weather is cool, mid-thirties and perfect for hiking. I’ve asked friends to bring their furry friends and arrive at 1 P.M. for a short hike before dinner; thinking everyone will be in to it.

First attempt: Pieper and I […]

Water. It is a big issue in many parts of the country. Global warming is bringing erratic weather patterns. Flooding to drought.
So do you have to flush the toilet every time you pea? Maybe you save those flushes at home. Maybe your motto is “Brown, flush it down, yellow, let […]

I’ve been tagged by Pat The Writing Nag, to share a bit about how I started blogging. I don’t write for this blog, Live Holistically very much, so I thought I’d chime in and share a bit about me, your Live Holistically publisher.
1. How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging on Adoption.com after […]

The present moment is inevitable. Whether we suffer through the loss of a home from a wild fire. Maybe we are part of a flue epidemic. Some enjoy sunny, unseasonably warm, beautiful day after beautiful day with no rain. All of us are effected by the results of that moment.
With […]

What to do about a sluggish lymph system?
Daily Dry Brushing
A natural bristle brush used for bathing is your lymph system helper. Use before your shower or bath.
Use a circular and firm motion, brushing towards the heart. For best results:

Start at your left foot and brush up the leg.
Switch to your right foot and leg and […]

Ahhh!!!! Somehow getting a massage during the colder time of years seems to just get it for me. Maybe it is because my therapists hand heat up and when it is cooler, it feels so much more.
But more than that. Winter is my cross country ski and snow shoe time. Though […]

Many communities do not have any idea what a holistic or alternative life style means. Especially if you do not look like a hippie, are not tattooed, pierced, wild haired, or others things to stand out and away from the norm.
Sharing books: I read a lot of Self-Help books. It helped when I […]

I never grow my nails long. I just think about it.
I always wear a bra to work. Now days I really have to.
Getting introduced to someone then being asked if I can massage the shoulder that is killing them. I watch in amazement as they take their shirt off.
People who are always […]
