Mom Jeans and the Single Girl

This past weekend, one of my best girlfriends was celebrating her birthday. An evening out on the town for dinner and drinks was planned, which of course meant that my typical outfit of yoga pants and a t-shirt would not be acceptable. I ventured into my closet on Saturday evening, looked around … and felt the familiar squeeze of a panic attack coming on. Why? I was standing in the closet of a boring, middle-aged married woman.

T-Shirt Bras and Boy Shorts

I don’t know when it happened. I don’t know how it happened. I was not aware that the evolution was slowly, but surely, in progress. Sure, I have changed a lot over the past few years, but I thought I was improving with age??

No More Stuff!

The holidays are a time of overindulgence in so many ways: too much food, too much drink, too much money spent, just too much too much. While I am trying to avoid these annual temptations, I am also trying to under-indulge as the simple fact is, I have too much stuff. Continue reading →

The Best Intentions Can Sometimes Fail … (in a good way!)

Over the past month or so, I have really been focusing on reducing my stress and anxiety levels and achieving balance in my crazy life (hence, this blog!). To help me along this process, I decided to make an effort to take regular yoga classes, based on countless doctor recommendations, friend recommendations and research recommendations about the benefits of yoga.
