Keeping Your Cool in the Dog Days of Summer

By | Published:

Whoa Momma, is it hot out there! I don’t know how you southerners do it. We’ve had 4 days of 95+ degree weather and I’ve all but shut down. Can… just …barely…lift the spoon from the pint of Ben and Jerry’s into my mouth… Webster’s dictionary defines Dog Days as: The period between early July […]

Pike’s Peak barefoot? That’s right. Shoes have been an issue for me all my life.  When I was a kid I walked funny.  Don’t laugh.  Okay, you can laugh.  My feet hurt.  My mom took me to the pediatrician who said, “Put her in cheap shoes, she’ll be fine.”  Enter the ugliest, late seventies nu-buck […]

Farmer’s Market Finds This Week

This week’s Farmer’s Market pick for me is Kale. Kale is rich in calcium, lutein, iron, and Vitamins A, C, E and K, and contains important phytochemicals which research suggests may protect against cancer.

Protect Rejuvenation with Purpose

By | Published:

Isn’t it funny how vacation exhausts us?  For a one-week vacation, doesn’t it feel like we really need a week to prepare and a week for re-entry?  What does that say? It’s tough to leave, to get away and let go? There’s too much on our plates? We’re not taking enough time outside of vacation […]
