I have been an active person for most of my life. From elementary school until 9th grade, I ran track through. I took dance lessons of all types at different times — jazz, tap, and ballet. I was on the dance team in high school and helped start a dance team at my college. Yoga, used bikes, stair steppers, and treadmills in the gym, and lifted weights…

Tips for Healthy Travel
When we think of healthy travel issues, most of us think of travel to exotic destinations where they have tropical diseases. Domestic travel can make you sick, too, though unless you take some precautions. Here are a few ways to travel healthy. It’s All in the Prep Preparing before you go is the best way to stay healthy while you’re traveling.

A Weekend at Texas A&M on Tour
My son graduates from high school in May, so we are on the hunt for colleges. This means the “college tour” exercise! Since we live in Texas, we wanted to keep the Texas schools in play as an option for him. He’s somewhat ambivalent about staying in Texas. He has aspirations of being states away from us… I did the same thing when I was looking for colleges – I swore I was going far, far away – but I ended up only 90 minutes away from my folks.

Journaling. This is such a hot topic right now. I had my first diary when I was 7 or 8 years old. I still have it now. It’s funny to look at what I wrote then – what was important to my young mind. On top of that, I tried an audio diary too. I had cassette tapes where I recorded my thoughts as well. I hated…

My Favorite Fall Television Shows
I’m an odd television watcher. I have the television on all day because I hate silence while I’m working. Which means I can see a TV program without “seeing” it. I can keep it moving with the TV on in the background. Due to that, I do like going back and watching a series all the way through. I can miss parts of the show while I’m on my computer! And with streaming, I have become a fan of show binging. I adapt to the times! I do have some current shows that I enjoy watching (not always live – Hulu is a great aid in this!). I love waiting…
