Here we are at the beginning of yet another new year. Some have great anticipation and excitement for what might be, but many others are weighted down with what has been: they have been told they aren’t enough; have listened to negative voices; have experienced painful relationship breakups; have been diagnosed with a disease; deal […]
January 2020
YOUR HEALTH Depending upon how happy your holidays were, you may be feeling sluggish and fatigued. Even if you were good, January is a great month to get serious about your flexibility. So many of us grew up without being taught the importance of proper stretching, and it may be catching up with us. The […]
Kuma takes on Dixie Mountain
I’ve always been on the tall side for a Shiba Inu. Mom says I take after her and have long legs. Oh, okay. Last vet checkup, though, I weighed in at 38 pounds. That made my mom concerned and sad. She knows being sick all last year affected me, too. We both gained weight as […]

YOUR HEALTH We recently saw the Tom Hanks movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and it reminded me of the importance of emotional health. Most of us do something toward our physical health every day, but we must not forget our feelings. Mr. Rogers’ mission was “to help children deal with their feelings in […]
Kuma is Thankful this Thanksgiving
I hope you had an awesome turkey day! Our Thanksgiving week started off with me going to a special vet. I’ve had two lumps (one on the right front leg and one on the right back leg near my knee) growing that were concerning my mom. She took me to Dr. Grossman a couple […]

YOUR HEALTH Our feet carry us wherever we want to go. We often take them for granted until they hurt, and when our feet hurt, we aren’t happy campers. In my 20s, I got frost bite up to my ankles from ice fishing. I’m lucky the only consequence was collapsed arches, but I’ve been dealing […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have trained with me or attended any of my fitness classes, you know I am a water Nazi. I not only encourage drinking water but carve out breaks during sessions and classes to ensure everyone can hydrate. During any type of exercise, it is critical to remain properly hydrated as our […]

YOUR HEALTH Inflammation continues to rise to the top of the list for causing diseases. When in balance, inflammation is an essential immune response within the human body.
