My posts in the Blog and the Podcast have been ordinary and meh. I realize I have to step it up and find my voice here. Posting with some conviction and passion is the goal. But I have been so distracted by the restart of the site that I have not turned my energy and […]
I have been practicing Pilates for almost five months and I am continually amazed at this unique system. My instructor/trainer Lisa is fantastic and a master of the training techniques. It has already altered my posture, walking and focus. Sally has been practicing for over three years and the changes she has experienced have been […]
I am a daily power user of the web and its technologies. But I know very little about controlling or managing the interior workings. So hosting my website and wanting to manage the process personally has been a learning curve. I am about a month into it and it is slowly becoming a familiar process. […]
