How to keep your brain sharp (and a fun quiz!)

  Back when my dear mother was still in a nursing home (prior to her passing in 2015 at age 94), every time I would visit her, I would pop my head into the doorway of her room and say, “Hi Mom!  How are you?” She would always respond, “Well, Sher, I hurt from head to toe (with arthritis), but I still know who you are!” Ah yes, age-related cognitive decline is a very real...

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

5 Ways to Prevent Our Top 2 Killers

It used to be most well-known for Valentine’s Day and then in later years, Presidents Day.  (I guess you can count Groundhog Day too if you’d like—Punxsutawney Phil would be pleased.) Well, February has stepped up even more, because not only is it National Cancer Prevention Month, but it’s recognized as American Heart Month as well.

Going through menopause? This can help!

  Here are a couple of funny quotes about menopause to start your day with a smile: Wouldn’t it be amazing if we burned as many calories in a hot flash as we did doing a 5-mile run? I swear, if my memory were any worse, I could plan my own surprise party. Although it can be the subject of many jokes and even a hit musical comedy, for women who have gone though it...
