Back to school. Back to the car pool nightmare. Early to bed, early to rise. Tired kids, after school practices, homework…… Busy moms still need to connect to their core. They need to bend there spine and turn on there belly. They need to stay strong in order to keep up with this schedule. They […]
Today, and many days when I teach, I was in awe of the wonderful lift Pilates gives my clients. It’s a lift through the belly, spine, and whole body, that just can’t be denied. This wondrous lift gives lightness to your step. It lifts your pelvic floor, lifts your bones up, and aligns them. There’s […]
It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. It can be done in your back yard. Make a list of the fun things you like to do most, going into August. Start making memories now. On the top of my list is to go camping, at least once, maybe twice. That’s right. Camping, in […]
It’s that wonderful time. Swimming, sunsets, watermelon. Late evening walks. Early morning birds and flowers. Summer ~ the best time of the year! Sweet smelling fruit. Huge, crunchy, green salads. Fresh made lemonade. BBQ’s, feet in the sand. Bathing suits hanging in the bathroom to dry. Late night swimming. Camping. Hot chocolate by the camp […]

What better time than Spring to refresh your workout, your diet, your closet, your mind? It’s out with the old. Out with what isn’t working anymore and bring in what will. Time for clutter and dust to be removed. Fresh spring smells to fill up the empty spaces. Give away what you don’t need or […]
Perfectionism So much to say on this word. It brings in feelings of clean, white, perfect, right. All that should be. It makes me think of perfect weight, perfect body, perfect family. It makes me smile. Ah perfectionism….how I’ve struggled with this. The contrast to this word comes crashing down in my thoughts. Its an […]
In a world where things seem turned on it’s head. Mixed up and baffling. Where hope seems ripped out of our hands. How do we stand? How do we dream? How do we envision a tomorrow that makes sense? How do we change the thick film of evil we feel in the air? The hopelessness we see […]
Connection. Intimacy. Really. This can be easy for some, and near impossible for others. True connections can be hit or miss. It takes effort and risk. Investment and time. It’s not just about clicking with someone, it’s deeper than that. It’s hearing another person speak and caring about what they say. Hearing the details and […]
