About Me

I love God, travel, camping, healthy living, my family, (especially the grandchildren), reading, exploring great restaurants, and sharing my knowledge about faith, healthy living, and my journey toward longevity.

After 35 years, I retired from the field of education and enjoyed one full year of retirement before launching this blog with a passion to share with other women what I have learned and continue to learn about health, wellness, faith, and ultimately myself in this second chapter, of life.

In 2022, 5 weeks into retirement, I fell and broke my foot. After surgery, a plate and screw, and 6 weeks of physical therapy, my doctor scheduled me for my first bone density exam. To my surprise, I was diagnosed with osteopenia in my hip, launching a deep dive into nutrition, fitness, and bone health. At the same time, my 61-year-old sister-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, extending my deep dive into brain health.

After making the necessary changes to my diet, a more focused fitness routine, and changes to support clean living and natural alternatives, I was approached by dozens of friends and family asking me to share what I was learning.

And so, in this age of digital information, social media posts, blogs, and webinars, this blog organically began. It is my passion to help other women learn what I have learned and will continue to learn, to provide recommendations for clean living products and natural alternatives, to support our fitness and nutrition goals, to help us on our path of longevity, and ultimately to provide encouragement in your faith.

This platform is designed to encourage and inspire all women, though the over 50-year olds women will hopefully find great encouragement and empowerment on a journey, perhaps after a full career, after raising children, perhaps in the second chapter of marriage, but often in the discovery of our changing identity, interests, and inspirations. If you like what you learn here, I encourage you to subscribe and follow me on social media.

Blessings,
