I keep taking breaks from working on the mag to clean my floors with my first ever Steam Mop — A Bissell PowerFresh. Being a gardener and kitty owner, immaculate floors were never a priority. When I re-enter a room I cleaned earlier, I’m surprised at how clean the floors look. That means they were […]
Laundry has never been an issue. No kids, I’ve always done my own and my mates do their own. I’ll wear something until I sweat in it. Lately I’ve been working in the yard a few times a day = more laundry. Working out every day = more laundry. Thus, Sunday morning has become laundry […]
This is the week I typically have a few days off between the time I send the magazine in to the printer and when I get it back. I spent Monday in a festival of sleep, unplugged from all external input. I need a period of alone time, in the quiet, in the dark, to […]

The new moon is the birthing cycle of the moon’s various phases. The new moon phase is an optimal time for planning and seeding your intentions. Seedlings need a period of gestation before they break through the soil and reach for the sunlight. This is also true for our ideas and our desires. The dark […]
A friend asked me last week if I was drawing my late husband’s Social Security and I did not even know I was entitled to do something like that at age 60. I went to the http://www.ssa.gov/ website and read what they said about widow’s benefits. The first thing on my To do list for […]
