Struggling right now? How to let go of unmet expectations.
So I’ve been hearing this one thing a lot from readers and clients of mine who are trying to move ...
The feelings of loss have been huge this month. The loss of freedom to travel, to breathe, to feel that my vote will be counted, the civil unrest and the death of RBG who represented what I care about most on the Supreme Court suddenly left me paralyzed.
But, here's some irony. The doomsday dark cloud lifted from my morning when I least expected it. Last Friday, September 25th, would have been my Mom's 88th birthday and as I sat with her photos, videos and memories all day, something shifted. It was the first time in years I wouldn't be with her on her birthday....
Experts say that in the aftermath of the pandemic, everything will change, from the way older people receive health care to how they travel and shop. Also overturned: their work life and relationships with one another....
Just like exercising with my personal trainer, sometimes my favorite part of a date is when it’s over. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the man. The date could have been wonderful, stimulating, sexy. But once he’s left me......
Good to know about this new research as Alzheimer's is a debilitating and incurable disease that affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans age 65 and older. Without the discovery of successful prevention therapies, the number of U.S. cases is projected to reach nearly 14 million by 2050....
I never thought I would be satisfied with FaceTime as a completely connected visit…but now I am. It wasn’t like that back in March.
Every time I would ...

"Not too short, right?" I showed him the picture of the perfectly coiffed model sporting a layered bob. "I like this."
He held up the chin-length strand of hair - his comb flirting the frayed ends. Lifted the razor and sliced - two inches from my head.
Excuse me!
"Excuse me?" I stammered....
I’ll never forget the moment I found out my mother’s diagnosis. ‘Your mother has the classic symptoms of Alzheimer’s,’ the geriatric psychiatrist said. I wish I had encouraged Mum to tell me more about her life and recorded her stories. Robin Storey is a ghostwriter specializing in life stories and memoirs....
Life is meant to be played all out. We are put on this earth to be all we can be. No matter what our age, life is short and not to be wasted by fighting for our limitations. What is your Kilimanjaro? What does your soul cry out for you to do?...
My new Bumble profile went live.
I held my breath. Newly separated for four months, I had packed some bags and moved to Los Angeles for the summer. It was the adventure I needed.
On Bumble, I mostly swiped left. Occasionally swiped right. I matched. I chatted with men within the app. I tentatively shared my cell phone number. I finally agreed to meet a man for lunch in Venice Beach. ...
This is an amazing "can do" BA50 She Did It story of vision and action and pure grit. Thanks to Deb Rusckowski and an amazing team of launchers, the tension of getting tested for Covid, on island, has been eliminated. By the end of May we had testing on Martha's Vineyard and here's how it happened.

"In 2020, Karen is no longer “an easy name.” Once popular for girls born in the 1960s, it then became a pseudonym for a middle-aged busybody with a blond choppy...
We looked to each other for yet another round of backgammon thinking about how lucky we were to have a playmate. We stayed cheery. We celebrated what a great job we'd done raising our kids and that they were so independent and didn't need a thing from us. We counted our blessings. Sure it was a bummer that the dog had died, and our annual friend visits were all cancelled, but hey! But then....enough was enough!...
Truth be told, it took decades of lying for me to realize my fudge was really the best. For so long I felt guilty about the little secret I was keeping. Passing the recipe off as my own, was not really the truth. I said it was a secret family recipe. Lie!...
This is the best explanation of Intermittent Fasting we have heard. We hope you will listen and learn as much as we did why calories in and calories out don’t w...
