Does this sound familiar… You go to bed when you think you’re tired, but once there, you toss and turn and just can’t fall asleep. No rhyme or reason… Or you fall asleep easily, but wake up several hours later – not always because you had to go to the bathroom – and then can’t fall back to sleep. You may even wake up and…

Well, Hello 2021! The New Year is here which means in ordinary times, people would be thinking about either setting goals or actually doing it. Yes, I know 2020 was awful…REALLY AWFUL and worse for some than others. Any goals that were set were probably just left on the paper where they were written or drastically changed. But I’m here to say that if you…

Eighteen months seems like a very short amount of time in 52 years of my life. But honestly, they have been some of the most productive of my life. I have learned more from farm living in the past 18 months than at any other time I can remember. When I think about what I just said it sounds nuts, especially when I think of…

Are you any good at taking self-care actions? I am simply awful. I truly think that hanging out at the barn cleaning a stall is taking time for me. But guess what? It is not! You have probably heard tons of different self-care ideas throughout the years. However, it has never been as important to take note of them as it is now. With anxiety…

I was in Iceland and I got a call from my husband. “Hey honey. You know how we once said (28 years ago) we would love to live right here?” Well, I am in Iceland and it is the middle of the night, so…where is here? “Here” turned out to be the Maryland eastern shore. So, I changed my travel plans, met my best friend…

My husband and I recently spent an amazing 17 days traveling in New Zealand. It was truly a trip I have been dreaming about for literally the last 30 years after my best friend went and just raved. It is a long flight – 6 hours to LA and then over 12 hours to Aukland – so thought needs to go into the planning. Then,…

Truly, this whole New Year New You stuff is truly BS in my eyes. Changing who you are has nothing to do with a date, nothing to do with starting over, and ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the the mindset that just because it is a New Year, you can reset your life. Let’s get honest and raw here. You, who you are, who you…

We do a lot of solo travel and love it, but it hasn’t always been easy. It takes awhile to get used to travel alone and some people never do and simply won’t. We, on the other hand, would never think to NOT travel, because we had to go by ourselves. In fact, it’s often one of our favorite ways to escape… The “getting used…

Travel as we age can pose a whole new set of issues ranging from finances to our health to how far away is the destination. But, it certainly doesn’t mean that armed with a little knowledge, we still can’t have amazing adventures. For some, nothing actually will change much at all, but those are the lucky few. For the rest of us, some adjustments in…
