Seven Ways to Make Waking Up a Breeze

Published in: Cardiovascular Health, how to wake up in the morning, Midlife, Sleep, waking up, what to do when you can't get out of bed in the morning

Brrring! Buzzzz! Beeeeep! Ugh. It's time to wake up. If you're lucky enough to be the type to pop right out of bed (I never could understand how some people wake up with a smile, raring to go), you might not want to bother reading any further. But, if you're like me – and I suspect millions of others – who have trouble summoning their inner early bird, or someone for whom pulling the … [Read more...] about Seven Ways to Make Waking Up a Breeze

DOES THIS SOUND VAGUELY FAMILIAR? ..."Crippling anxiety, sleep issues, panic attacks, lack of energy, weight gain, intense sweating, no sex drive dry hair and brittle nails." – Just a few of the 219 comments expressed by women from around the globe in response to a 2011 blog I wrote titled, "Menopause and Anxiety" for HealthyWomen.org.

Five Easy Ways to Take Good Care of Yourself

Published in: Aging, Exercise, Fitness, Happiness, Health, Moods, Self-care, Sleep

In just a few days, hubby and I are taking off for Italy (so excited!), our first big vacation together in many years (did I mention that I'm so excited?) Although I've been fortunate enough to travel to some great places recently, he has not. That's what happens when you are too busy to get away. And did I mention that not getting away is making someone very, very cranky and stressed? Don't tell … [Read more...] about Five Easy Ways to Take Good Care of Yourself

C’mon, Brain: Help Me Remember

Published in: Exercise, How to Remember, Memory, Secrets for Better Memory, Sleep

Up until about the age of six, I never went anywhere without my beloved bedraggled stuffed teddy bear; my stand-in for a security blanket. It didn’t matter that its once-white coat turned to a pallid shade of gray, nor that its once-robust shapely body became a sagging hint of what once was. I still clung fiercely. Sometimes I feel like that old teddy bear; my skin no longer glowing nor my body … [Read more...] about C’mon, Brain: Help Me Remember

Saying Goodbye to All That

Published in: Aging, Empty Nest, Happiness, Letting go, Midlife, Moods, Sleep

There are two different schools of thought regarding so-called aging. Those who say they hate it... they're also fond of saying things like: Aging is not for sissies Aging out-and-out sucks Aging is tough Aging is a @^*!% struggle. And then there are those who: Embrace Aging Celebrate Aging Recite a prayer of thanks each morning they wake up Show off Aging Say Aging beats … [Read more...] about Saying Goodbye to All That

How Moving Keeps You Young

Published in: Downsizing, Family Home, Happiness, Health, Letting go, Memory Loss, Midlife, Moving, Sleep

It's been ten whole days since we moved from our house to our new apartment. It's been a very stressful few days but it's well worth it! It's starting to feel like home. We've actually moved quite a few times, more than a handful at least, so I'm quite used to the moving process and what it entails. One of the most stressful elements of the process is actually having to sell the previous property! … [Read more...] about How Moving Keeps You Young

Midlife Minute: How Not to Get Sick

Published in: Exercise, Fitness, Health, Immune System, Sleep

Or how I want everyone around me, who is sneezing, coughing, wheezing and just plain miserable to take care of themselves. There you have it. Everywhere I look, people are miserable, fighting the flu or other nasty bugs. Maybe you've already gotten the flu vaccine, but that doesn't mean you're fully protected (sorry!). Some people develop a higher immunity than others; but sadly, the success rate … [Read more...] about Midlife Minute: How Not to Get Sick

About Me

What’s this so-called midlife, anyway?

It’s a time of tremendous change, growth and opportunity. A time to re-evaluate our choices, our experiences and ourselves. A time to take what we’ve accumulated up until now and put it to work.

When I turned 50, many things changed... read more about me.

I’m writing to express my admiration for the work you are doing!

I'm a young medical writer trying to get a foothold in the industry, so the portfolio you have on your website showcasing your accomplishments is something that I'm aiming to achieve.

I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I am hoping you can share some advice, tips, or guidance as I work on this, my lateral career change!

Thanks for taking the time to read this - I know you probably have much more exciting things to be doing, but just know that your work is inspiring me to continue down this writing path.
