Browse
this site for practical approaches to good health, including strength training, aerobics,
nutrition, bone health, disease prevention, and healthy aging.
At this time, I am writing
about bereavement and end-of-life issues. Follow the End of Life
or What's New! links
in the index column at the left for recent work.
In my twenties, I married, nurtured my growing family, practiced yoga, and became a vegetarian and organic gardener. In my thirties, I became a nutrition and preventive health care counselor. In my forties, I studied natural approaches to menopause. In my fifties, I transformed my body with strength training and became a Certified Personal Trainer. In my early sixties, I lectured and wrote about strength training, bone health, nutrition, and healthy aging. Now, in my mid sixties, I am dealing with the death of my husband and writing about love, loss, and creating a new life.
This
is your body,
Your greatest gift,
Pregnant with wisdom you do not hear,
Grief you thought was forgotten,
And joy you have never known.
