Consider this possibility… How you feel right now does not have to be permanent. You could have more strength, balance, flexibility, and energy than you did in your 20s. Mhmm! Or as Joseph Pilates said, you can “be in control of your body instead of at its mercy”.  Let me ask you this:  Do you ...

My theme word for 2024 is FOCUS. As a multi-passionate Gemini and consummate daydreamer with endless curiosity, I'm easily distracted. So while I’ve got quite the clear vision for my professional, and ultimately my personal life, it’s easily blurred by a shiny new project or idea.
