Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
As you may remember, I’ve been enjoying a delightful “second act” as a budding artist. I’ve been painting, drawing, and taking *lots* of classes. I can honestly say, it’s been such a gift. There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a new way to express yourself… especially at this stage of life. One of the artists…
One of the greatest deterrents to forward motion is fear. Fear takes many forms: fear of outcomes, fear of insufficiency, fear of pain, fear of lack of knowledge or ability, fear of criticism, fear of failure.

The holiday season is upon us, and you know what that means … food, food, and more food!! They say the average Thanksgiving meal consists of over 2,500 calories and can go up to well over 4,000. Cutting a few calories here and there is easy with my “Holiday Deliciousness” cookbook (request cookbook here). In this…
Not long after I turned 60. I started asking deeper questions—not just about how I looked, but about how I felt. Was I moving through life with strength? Could I walk without aching? Could I keep up with my grandkids—or even my own calling?
