Here's one of the moves I make that really can get you going when dancer-cising! Put on your favourite music. I usually like to stretch first, it helps to limber your body, get those joints loose! Put both arms up in the air about your head and stretch, gently stretch at first, then give yourself a good stretch, and really get on your tippy toes as if reaching for that forbidden fruit on a tree limb. Now slowly start to move your shoulders, one at a time, swinging first one arm, t...

I've started dancing again, at home, in my own little make believe studio and I'm having a blast! I didn't realise that dancing was such a release of pent up anxiety, and such a big stress reliever. Much like exercising, one of my big stress reducer too, but dancing is so much more! I put one of my favourite CD on and I just dance and dance the hour away. Now to get a good workout it as to be a really good up tempo collaboration of music. I've been dancing to the music from this pas...

I’m wondering about that after what I heard Heather Mills said during her interview on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer ! Heather has been in the media lately because of the problems she has been having with the paparazzi and the media in England and there have been reported threats against her life. She fears for the life of her daughter who is with her most of the time she said. Heather was married to famous Beatles star Paul McCartney however, they are going th...

My kids went own on their own...sort of...without me anyway! They are safe, not to worry. My daughter went with her friends to the Sunday School they all attend to trick or treat car style....I think Tova or Life Happens mentioned that?! They aren't the only ones doing that this year it seems! My son went with his friends, I let him with a bit of trepidation but realise that he's 13 after all, not a baby anymore, and this will probably be his last year to trick or treat! So, one last ...

I'm not a lover of most of today's Hip Hop music. Truthfully, I really don't follow the genre, hardly. I say hardly because there are a few artists that I do like because they keep it clean and they remind me of what Hip Hop was once upon a time. Old School Hip Hop was all about the music, i.e., the beat that you can dance to, sometimes the lyrics were a message, and it sampled music from some of the popular disco, soul and funk music from back in the day! There were cool music coming ...

I received my tri-montly letter in the mail recently regarding what investments I have and whether or not I had a gain or loss. It definitely was a loss, but not a major one, thank heavens, but that made me wonder what will the next three months bring and will I ever have enough money to retire on? What exactly is enough money to retire on any way? They (financial advisers, experts) say it should be at least three times your salary, and if you can do more, then do so. It is kind of like...

I was listening to the radio the other day. The topic of discussion was about kids and touching, warning them about appropriate touching and strangers. The radio host was accepting calls from his listeners asking them to tell their experiences and the one question he asks each caller is "At what age did you tell your kids about appropriate touching?" and to callers without kids, "when is the appropriate age to talk to kids about appropriate touching?" One woman who has children said six. ...

I tell ya, my poor six year old daughter has been popping in and out of her costume like a pro! I mentioned that she was Cinderella this year, for two reasons really. Her school is having a character day instead of Halloween (I just hope they don't cancel Christmas or else they will be hearing from me!) and she enjoys the Disney Princesses (that new money-making trend for Disney) and wanted to be Cinderella this year! (last year she was Sleeping Beauty) On Friday we went to an event whe...

I was watching Hogan Knows Best , that reality show with Hulk Hogan and his family on VH1. The episode they showed was a repeat, one I kinda saw but didn't really watch in detail because of channel surfing. In the episode Hulk and his wife Linda are going through a bumpy road in their marriage and seeing a marriage counselor. Hulk said to the counselor that there have been times when they have had arguments and have said to each other that "maybe they should go their separate ways, get a ...

I was responding to Terpfan's article, Link , regarding his blogging style. The tail-end of my response was "many people wants to be read but they don't read anyone else", not with reference to him or anyone else directly for that matter, just an observation being a blogger for as long as I've been. While this wasn't what was being discussed on terp's blog, it's something I thought about while reading and responding to his. Although I don't visit other blog sites, as often as I do JU,...
