It is a new year and with it people are making all resolutions to improve their health and daily life. This may be the one aspect of a healthy lifestyle that is overlooked. There is new research every day that shows how sleep affects your health. It is also known that sleep deprivation can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, memory loss and increase in pain....

I’ve been posting New Year’s resolutions blogs this month. These posts have urged Lady Boomers to exercise their creative muscles, to infuse their lives with more color and fun, and even examine their purses for excess baggage they might be carrying around. I obviously believe in resolutions. Resolutions, New Years or otherwise, represent a commitment to yourself; a way of honoring...

This is post four of Be Brave. Lose the Beige’s 12 days of New Years Resolutions. I am newly returned from spending the most amazing Thanksgiving week in the mountains of Taos, New Mexico with my husband and our adult children. My kids think this may have been one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. We skied, hiked, dined, and browsed our way through galleries filled with turquoise and...

This is post two of my 12 days of New Years resolutions. As I’ve mentioned previously, Be Brave.

It’s about exploring the playful side of your life by escaping incessant to-do lists and experiencing more joy and fun in your life....

This is post number 10 of Be Brave. Lose the Beige’s 12 days of New Years Resolutions. The past couple of years have seen an emerging emphasis on buying and being "green". While we do our part to recycle and conserve energy we either don’t really know what else to do for the effort or we think it all sounds a bit PCG (politically correct to be green). I have a proposal for the new year-...

This time of year is exhausting for me and I strongly dislike watching the morning new shows which are filled with the same New Year’s resolution stories over and over. They should just save some time and energy by replay the last year’s stories because they are virtually the same regardless of the network. It’s all about eating more healthy, taking more vitamins, drinking more water,...

Many years I sat down to write my goals for the year and resolutions. The word resolution by definition means to resolve something like a problem or it’s a decision to do something, something that hasn’t been done before. I also could mean determination, a firmness of mind or purpose, an answer to a problem. Well, although I can’t solve the world’s problems, I can determine to make...
