The scenes of life can sometimes play out in a manner that is contrary to what our expectations are, requiring us to either be resilient (able to bounce back or recover) or to shift into fight or flight mode when our adrenaline gets to pumping. Our partners response or actions during a crisis can help us in our quest to get back to some normalcy, and showing compassion is never wrong. I thought I was the only one that loved this scene from the Good Doctor but I can see...

Angela Bassett joined American Horror Story and it made me want to watch the creepy show, even though the laughs did not add up like or even come close to the crazy, hilarious laughs I had when I watched A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.

Basset joined the For My Sweetheart Campaign earlier this year to use her Celebrity Voice to encourage us all to recognize risk factors and the link between type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Dis...

Pilates is something that I got into after finding some Gaiam VHS Tapes up for sale at a local Thrift Shop and since I had a 19" TV with a VHS Tape Deck, I decided this was a deal I could not pass up. Since I had the tapes and was also looking for ways to workout at home, I put one into the tape deck and it was on from there. I had did some research prior and knew that pilates could strengthen my core and also that it had been used by Soilders as a healing process. Jessica Smith has a 30 minu...

Staying connected to people and things that remind me of what I need to do or what I should be doing is very important to me, especially in the digital space. People who are sharing and connecting on the internet are putting themselves out there and reaching people who are not in their immediate circle and I am proud to be in that number as well, not only sharing and contributing but connecting outside of my hometown and immediate circle. I have been able to change my own life and benefit fro...

Exploration can take you to many places. You don't have to hop on a bus, train, or plane to experience it either. Books on tape are an extraordinary tool, if you decide to take the shortcut with reading. Another experience with BOT brought me to a point where I at least questioned whether or not the birds and the bees should be told using another creature roaming the earth. Eels in particular, just because of my recent exposure to Memoirs of A Geisha written by Arthur Golden.

Eels and caves ...
