Every day, as I face the challenge of my body failing to meet my expectations, I am reminded of all the advice I have given to patients over the years in my physical therapy career. If you don’t use it, you lose it. I have reminded people that aging can be challenged but not defeated.Continue reading “Muscle Up”

ALL in…Soul Mates
In my studies and writing, I have to do what I call “deep diving” to really glean nutrition from the word of scripture. I always study and spend time praying and reflecting on whatever I pursue, but sometimes there are more significant challenges. When I started this meditation, I really had to review and goContinue reading “ALL in…Soul Mates”
All In: Cardiac Perspective
As I was preparing to write this segment in this series, I stopped to think about how often I receive information about what is good for my heart.

The Peanut Gallery

The furniture is back where it belongs, and I have started my annual clean out of closets, cupboards, and drawers. Every January, a strong renesting instinct comes over me to re-establish my external order. It is accompanied byContinue reading “Off With The Old”
Company for Christmas
If we are honest, most of us have a reference point if we are decorating, cooking, and shopping for Christmas. It’s usually others. Of course, I choose the colors, recipes, and gifts, but those choices are always set against the backdrop of folks I like and love. Because at Christmas I love company! I likeContinue reading “Company for Christmas”
Happy Endings
Wow! The Christmas season is in full swing! Carols on the radio and overhead in the stores, people, and auto traffic have increased. My neighborhood is lit up, and on the weekends, cars line the streets as folks begin to entertain. One of my favorite downtime activities is Christmas movies. I love Hallmark because IContinue reading “Happy Endings”
True North
One of my favorite things to do when I visit friends and even family is to take note of the things people decorate their home with or put on display. I have learned it can be the silent conversation folks have about themselves and their interests. You can learn a lot about the person byContinue reading “True North”
