Holistic Tips For Ageless Beauty &Raquo; Sharkie5

Women have always felt the pressure to be beautiful which often equates to physical attributes such as having perfect proportions, a super thin body, beautiful hair, and flawless skin.  We see these images all the time in the media and at times can feel that something is wrong with us if we don’t match up. This pressure usually starts when young girls start to mature and turn their awareness to their changing bodies and also try to fit into society’s accepted views of beauty. But at no time is the pressure more pervasive and persuasive than when a woman starts to notice the signs of aging.... Continue Reading

Practicing Positivity; How to Stay Upbeat in a Negative World

Practicing Positivity; How To Stay Upbeat In A Negative World &Raquo; Sharkie4

I know what you’re thinking.  How can anyone practice positivity in this day in age?  What is there to be happy about with all the political turmoil, violence, covid concerns, and negativity that we are bombarded with every day?  I realize that we can’t disconnect and ignore what’s going on around us.  However, we can change our focus.  There are more positive things in our lives than we realize. “Look for the good and you will find it.” This quote from the ancient Greeks is the cornerstone for living a happy, fulfilled life. Unfortunately, most people find themselves focused on... Continue Reading

Yoga Re-Imagined

Yoga Re-Imagined &Raquo; Sharkie3

I hate to admit it, but I used to think that yoga was just for the super-calm flexible people who floated on clouds and hummed.  Being an athlete, a hard core coach, and a person with a double-A personality type, it was not something I wanted to try.  My only exposure was my husband’s old yoga book that featured an anorexic looking young man with a pointed shaggy beard wearing a loin cloth sitting with his legs crossed behind his head.  Whenever anyone asked me if I wanted to try yoga, I visualized that picture and said “No Way!  I have better things to do than contort my body into strange... Continue Reading

Is There Anything Good About Getting Older? YES!

Is There Anything Good About Getting Older? Yes! &Raquo; Sharkie2

Okay, I get it.  We are a society that idolizes youth.  What could possibly be good about getting older?  The terms anti-aging, ageless and fountain of youth have led many to believe that aging is something to be feared and somehow avoided. But the truth is, when we put another candle on our birthday cake, there is a lot to be thankful for.  As we know, every living being ages and no one lives forever.  But the cool thing is that we can control HOW we age with our lifestyles and attitudes. Instead of viewing the second half of life as a negative period of decline and disability, we can shift... Continue Reading

Exercise Is No Longer Optional &Raquo; Group Of Seniors Making Sport In The Morning 2021 09 04 11 42 44 Utc

What if I told you that I had a pill that could relieve stress and depression, help you lose weight, regenerate brain cells, prevent both heart disease and type two diabetes, boost confidence, give you more energy, reverse most of the symptoms of aging, help decrease the chances of getting seriously ill from infectious diseases, and it had no side effects. Would you take it? Most people would for sure until they hear the directions: “Take one pill with an eight-ounce glass of water fifteen minutes before exercising for at least a half hour every day.” As you have probably guessed, it’s not... Continue Reading

Life Lessons Learned from Playing Sports

Life Lessons Learned From Playing Sports &Raquo; Sharkie6

Growing up I always knew that I was different.  I had interests that were obviously not common for a young girl at the time.  Instead of playing with dolls, I wanted to play with balls, and loved getting sweaty and dirty. My favorite sport was volleyball and I remember spending summers running up and down the beaches to see if anyone would let me on the court. Sometimes the people were nice and let me play a game with them. Others, would either ignore me or laugh and tell me to go away. I never had any big aspirations until I saw the 1968 National Women’s Volleyball team playing in an exhibition... Continue Reading

Youth Sports Are For The Kids &Raquo; Sharkie7

A while back I vividly remember a youth volleyball tournament and observing a match between two very good 10 year- old teams when the parents started behaving badly. It was just a battle, going back and forth. After it was over, the parents were still yelling at the coaches, officials and other parents.  Meanwhile, the kids from both teams went outside to play some kind of circle game, and they were all laughing and having fun. I was thinking, Oh, my gosh, who are the grownups, and who are the kids? Welcome to the world of youth sports where sometimes the parents are more immature than the kids. I... Continue Reading

Adversity Is No Match For Strength
October 3rd, 2022

I don’t usually get overly personal in these blogs, but events of the past few weeks make it a little different this week. Like every couple, especially one who has raised children, we’ve had to deal with our share of stresses over our 52-year marriage.  Since we have lived healthy and active lives, however, few of those stressors have been in the health area.  But less than a month ago, my wife was diagnosed with melanoma near her left ear.  Fortunately, our physicians moved quickly and she had successful surgery yesterday, less than a month after the initial evaluation of her... Continue Reading
