"The child inside of you knows how to take things as they come, how to deal most effectively and happily with everything and everyone it encounters on this planet. If you can recapture that childlike essence of your being, you can stay 'forever young at heart.' Wayne Dyer
Happy Friday Ladies!I hope you have had a great week. In honor of May being Ehlers Danlos Syndome Awareness Month, I thought I would write a topic on Health. I had 3 appointments this week, physical therapy, the Dentist and the Ophthalmologist. Ah, the joys of getting older, right? I know we always have had appointments lined up for these things, but they seem a bit more prevalent these days. Going to various appointments this week made me think of how important it is to be proactive with your health. If you aren't looking out for yourself, who will?
Happy Friday friends!Nothing like taking on a light topic of the day! I have been thinking about this, as i get older, and what gives me a sense of purpose in my life. I had written a post on Fullfillment -What It Means To You as well as knowing that the more we keep our mind active, and have social connections, the stronger we will be later in life. Once you are retired, or in my case, have an illness or situation which has you unable to work a consistent, steady 9-5 job, how do you find purpose in your life?
Happy Monday!I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My girl Truffles, ( girl puppy that is!) turned 9 on Sunday! She still acts like a puppy, running around each morning and playing with her plush toys. She is gentle and so loving, and we give her some special food for the day, but she isn't big on the party hats! I adore both of them-her and Gibson, as they are the best companions and so fun to be around. I don't know if I have told you this, but when we were thinking of chocolate names for her ( she had even darker brown hair) we thought of Hershey, Truffles, Rouche ( Ro-shay), you know those gold covered wrapped hazelnut balls ? We laugh now as Roche sounds very pretentious and she is most certainly NOT. hehe.I thought I would bring up a topic which was discussed at the lunch table when we went to the Good Housekeeping/Jambu event. I know many people don't like to talk finances, but this was a question i think I wondered about when I first became a blogger. How do i continue blogging about fashion if I have to purchase new outfits all of the time?
Happy Monday ladies! * image courtesy of GoogleI hope you had a Happy Easter. I think about the times we celebrated Easter, eagerly waiting to come home to find out hidden baskets. We would go to my mom's church, the Ukranian Church with the blue domes in the Southside of Pittsburgh. I loved the smell of Paska, a traditional Eastern European bread we would smother with butter. All the traditions, I miss. We tried our hand at Pasanky, the handpainted Easter eggs, which are done so meticulously, one really appreciates the art form. Ah, I could continue to reminisce, but I am planning on talking about our closets ( wardorbe) and how it fits our lifestyle. Does your wardrobe fit or reflect your lifestyle?
Morning!Today, i thought I would share what happened when the good ole Nor'Easter hit NYC while we were there! I had an amazing time with JAMBU and the bloggers, and we had planned to fly back to Charlotte on Wednesday. Well, other plans were in store! We received a message about our flight being cancelled, booked flights, so we could only leave Friday, March 23rd, when the weather had settled. So.. yes, thank you to Jambu as they helped when we were stuck for a night at the hotel.
Happy Friday ladies!I don't know if it is just me getting older, and more introspective, but I like to look at and appreciate the "small things" in life, even more these days. It is a little things in life that really makes me appreciate it more and more. I also find that I don't let myself get stressed about a lot of things as I try and ask myself, "Is this important in the overall scheme of life?" If I can answer no, then it isn't worth dwelling on.
Happy Friday Ladies!By now, if you are a reader of the blog, you know I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I am a believer in being proactive in your health. I have always been assertive when it came to my doctor and my health, as well as a person who is informed. Today I am talking about using Dry Needling as an alternative method for pain.
