    10 Lifestyle Habits and Mindsets That Help Me Stay Youthful at 60

    May 25, 2026 /

    On Mother’s Day, I met a group of ladies in line as my family waited to be seated for our breakfast reservation, and they asked for “my secret” to staying youthful at 60. I have to admit, I was unprepared to give an answer because I don’t think there is truly just one secret. In fact, after doing some soul-searching around my 60th birthday, I realized that feeling youthful has less to do with chasing youth and anti-aging secrets, but more to do with how you care for yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually over time. The “secret” is actually found in the small habits, routines, choices, and mindsets that…

    How I Stayed Slim in Corporate Environments Without Dieting

    May 6, 2026 /

    After the whole return-to-office (RTO) initiative from a few years back, I had to give my daytime eating routine a complete overhaul because the discipline I developed while working from home for years was under attack. I am sure that anyone working in corporate environments on a regular basis would agree that maintaining a healthy weight can definitely be a challenge, especially when you are surrounded by temptations that can undermine even the best eating habits. High-calorie treats were literally everywhere: in break rooms, in meetings, and often sitting within arm’s reach on a co-worker’s desk. Over time, it became easy to fall into mindless eating throughout the day, and…

  • 34 Years of Marriage: 7 Lessons Learned

    November 2, 2025 /

    Intro: 34 years, one decision—over and over Last month, my husband and I celebrated 34 years of marriage — a journey filled with love, laughter, lessons, and plenty of growth. From our newlywed days in the ’90s to today, each year has taught us something new about commitment, grace, and partnership. If you’ve ever been married (or dreamed about it), you know it’s not always easy. Marriage takes patience, prayer, and purpose — but it’s also one of the most rewarding adventures you’ll ever take. Here are seven lessons that have carried us through three decades together — and still guide us today. 💛 Lesson 1: Marriage Is a Daily…

    Who says your 50s can’t be fabulous? Turning 50 doesn’t mean slowing down — it means stepping into your power. I’ve learned that aging well isn’t about chasing youth; it’s about cultivating habits that help you glow from the inside out. Here’s how to make 50 the new 35 — body, mind, and spirit. 🌸 1. Keep Your Mind and Body Active Staying youthful starts with movement. Exercise strengthens your muscles, improves mood, and gives your skin that natural radiance no cream can match. Find what you love — walking, dancing, yoga, or resistance training — and make it part of your lifestyle. The key isn’t perfection; it’s consistency. My favorites are…
