This has been a bad September. Well, maybe not bad, but just not normal or fun. I’m certainly glad it’s October and hope that this month goes better. Some of my favorite things just did not happen in September and that made it a frustrating month. So, what happened that made this month not a […]
My darn toe. Actually it’s my foot, and technically my first metatarsal (AKA foot bone). It’s sore, it’s tender and it’s not making me happy. It started about 6 weeks ago on a “brick” run, which is a 3-mile run after a bike ride. I thought nothing of it as those aches & pains come […]
I don’t think it is so much genetics that causes health problems, as much as it is the habits taught to us by our parents. I really don’t see many children who are overweight if their parents eat healthy (and are ultimately not overweight), however I do see overweight kids who have overweight parents. The […]
I remember that night, close to 29 years ago. I was in Connecticut at my sister’s house while she was at the hospital. She would call every few hours or so complaining about how long it was taking and how horrible it was, but there was nothing we could do (or that we knew of […]
If you are pregnant (or have been), do you know what the C-section rate is at the hospital you delivered at? Nationwide, the C-section rate is over 30% even though the World Health Organization recommends it be only 10-15%. Here in Atlanta, some hospitals are close to 40%. So that means that if you are […]
Is there something going on in your life that you consider “unfinished” business? Something that you want to do but just haven’t tried, or something that you started but haven’t been able to complete? I’m sure we all have something like that, whether it’s a far-fetched dream or something really within our reach. Way in […]
I saw this article recently and had to share it What if we all did this more every day with our children? What kind of world would we live in? Would it be more loving? More accepting? We never know, but it’s sure worth a try. Click below to read more…. 7 Things Parents Should […]
I feel like I’ve discovered the cure to low back pain. It’s only taken me 30 years to learn this, but really, I’ve got it figured out. It has been one year since I threw out my back just days before a marathon, which left me crawling around unable to stand up straight. Some of […]
I saw this article recently & really agree with it. Too many people take Ibuprofen, whether it’s Advil, Motrin, Aleve or something us, and then years later have gut issues. Yes there is a connection. Pay attention and find something else to relieve your discomfort. How about chiropractic care? Eating a diet that includes anti-inflammatory […]
I love Boston. Yes it’s probably because it’s my hometown, the area where I grew up, where I became a fan of the Red Sox, Patriots & Celtics. It’s where I learned to play lacrosse & go skiing. It’s where my family still lives. And it’s also where I became a fan of the Boston […]
