Who doesn't want legs like a dancer?: 3 moves to get gorgeous gams
There's nothing like pulling on a swimsuit, shorts or even a swingy little running skirt to make you take notice of the legs you've masterfully swathed in wool and denim the rest of the year. Rather than focusing on all those negatives that too-easily come to mind in front of the mirror,... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (4) | Blog

Who doesn't want legs like a dancer?: 3 moves to get gorgeous gams
There's nothing like pulling on a swimsuit, shorts or even a swingy little tennis skirt to make you take notice of the legs you've masterfully swathed in wool and denim the rest of the year. Rather than focusing on all those negatives that too-easily come to mind in front of the mirror, what... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

Help a reader out: Know any cures for summer colds?
Ugh, summer colds. Winter colds aren't exactly a walk in the (snowy) park, but at least most people are stuck inside anyway. Summer colds always seem to land during the most glorious days filled with sunshine and barbecues and day trips to the beach. And if you are like Shine reader Jess, they...

The perfect tee to celebrate (or inspire) new summer adventures
Once the weather finally turned and the longest winter in the history of snow shovels skipped right over spring and landed in summer, I began outlining plans to get out of the house more often, move my body with more commitment and maybe even unplug completely for more than two days in a row. First... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (1) | Blog

One song + one little girl + one Blackberry = One 911 call
Somewhere in Oklahoma, a little girl and her mommy are singing a very happy tune. It's not Wheels on the Bus and it isn't even Old MacDonald. The only lyrics to this one are "911 green, 911 green," and unlike most silly songs 3-year olds and their parents rock out to, these words... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (24) | Blog

Losing steam on your walk? Mantras to get you going
You know those walks that begin with a glorious day of sunshine and warm breezes beckoning you to lace up your shoes, grab a water bottle and come outside? Those walks when you have just the right playlist in your ears and your feet just propel themselves lap after lap or block after block? Those walks when it is all going so well that you wonder why you aren't doing this every single day, when you feel healthy and happy and centered?
And then... And then, the winds shift. The mind wanders. The feet stop. And that perfect walk fizzles into a puddle on the side of street and you are left with no more steam, no more energy and no more interest in taking one more single step. What then?

Several years ago, when my brother was recovering from an accident in an ICU in Virginia, I began feeling chest pangs that not only pained me intensely, they kept me awake worrying that something was really wrong with me as well. Read More »

Do fitness and Facebook go together? (These 3 groups just might make it happen)
Most people I know are terribly addicted to Facebook. For many reasons, that's not a bad thing. It is how lost of my friends stay connected, how many of my colleagues publicize their writing and how (ahem) everybody (admit it) tracks down old high school boyfriends. Is it possible that you could... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

5 ways to get (and stay!) asleep tonight
We've all been there in the heart-pounding moments at 3 a.m., when we desperately want to be asleep but somehow cannot get there, when we are racking our brains for what is in our medicine cabinet that might help us along or what soothing things mothers and grandmothers did to help lull us back...

Help me out!: What's your bedtime routine?
In the last couple of months, my night-time ritual, which once included of a lovely hour of reading or a few well-earned moments of Zen-like meditation or even (ack! what happened to this?) pages of soul-searched journaling, has devolved. Now, what is supposed to be a time of easing from waking life... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (26) | Blog
