5 Things I Do to Change Negative Self-Chatter

Originally published on Sixty&Me Self-talk or chatter is a tricky thing. There are so many layers to what we think and say, how we treat people, and how we treat ourselves. Did you know that every single day, we speak 7,000 words out loud, on average? The real question is, how many words do we […]

OK – I’m Ranting…Wearing a Mask or Not?

I didn’t want to write about this Covid-19 thing at all. Not that I am not interested but because everyone else is writing about it too. Overload. But this has gone too far. I don’t watch the news, but I do travel around a lot in my RV and it is fairly easy to see […]

How Full is Your Tank?

No, not the tank in your car. That’s what I thought too, when I first heard the phrase on a podcast I was listening to.  No good people, the tank they were talking about and the one I am now referring to is your personal tank of endurance, patience, goodness, compassion, feeling good. You know, […]

Taking in the Rain

The other day I got in my car and melted a little more when the temperature read 107 degrees and I was parked in the shade.  Holy crap.  It is only May and this hot already. I cranked up the max hurricane force A/C and fan and my daughter’s dog had her nose right on […]

Do I Have a Favorite Place to Travel?

Yes and no. Sometimes.  Depends.  Wow, that really explains a lot. Okay, let’s see if I can dig myself out of this murky trench.  Maybe I don’t like being put on the spot.  What is your favorite color?  What is your favorite song?  What is your favorite food? What is your favorite country?  Hell, I […]

The More We Travel, The More We Understand Ourselves & Others

Staying safe on the road and still meeting and visiting with people…my thoughts and opinion. I live alone, I travel alone, and I eat alone.  I also sleep alone and really just do most everything alone.  And yet I have lots of friends and socialize and manage to have a full dance card.  Hmm.  This […]

What’s this about food on the road?

I grind my coffee every morning.  No, I don’t mean I push a button on a grinder.  I put the beans in a little cylinder in my Java Press grinder, attach the grinding handle and grind away.  Then I make a wonderful cup of coffee with my Aero Press coffee plunger thingy. Right now, I […]

Traveling Solo – Creating Adventure on Your Own Terms

Traveling gets my energy flow rambling around looking for action.  My senses yell at me “we’re awake, ready to roll.”  What’s a girl to do?  Get out there is the only way I have found to bring a little calm.  And just a little because every one of my senses band together on high alert […]
