I recently saw a TikTok video about Gen X, how we as a generation seem to be reinventing ourselves in our 40s and even 50s. The video went on to ask why this was, did we suddenly wake up and realize time was running out? I have been thinking about it all morning. I definitely […]
When my kids were little we went through a drive thru, as we were driving off my oldest said, “Mom, why do you use a fake voice sometimes?” An ever observant child, she realized something we all do but few acknowledge. We wear a mask, we pretend, we have “a voice” for different people at […]
It’s time! Seven years ago, I did my first online bodybuilding competition. It was required that social media play a big role in the contest.

I recently watched the Netflix series: You Are What You Eat, I received a LOT of comments and messages letting me know it’s sponsored by the “vegan agenda”. Here’s my opinion, for what it’s worth: I have been alive for 51 years. I have never believed that any politician, pastor, educator or entertainer is 100% […]

When life hands you lemons, you wait and wait and wait. That is if you’re growing them yourself. In January or maybe February of this year we visited a greenhouse on the coast of Maine.
