At long last..

After so many months and years of should I or shouldn’t I, here I am! So many thoughts and ideas and always wanting to put them down finally led me here. So, here we go:-)

This will be a blog about everything under the Sun. No categories but life in general and what it throws at us everyday. Some thoughts will be poignant, some funny and some might be a tad bit angry. As I said, everything under the Sun.

Until later,
Cheerios

Empty nesters

A little late but here it is. I wanted to feel the full effects of kids leaving home before writing it down:-) The ups and downs and the good and the bad and the ugly!  These are my thoughts and feelings about this process:-) It’s a misnomer to begin with. In the animal world the nest doesn’t stay empty very long. There are new chicks every year and the parents are busy with their babies again! Human nests, not so much. Once the chicks fly, they’re gone. They’ll never live in the nest again. From now on, they’ll visit and that’s the toughest part about all this. That reality is what’s the hardest to accept and sometimes it’s easier to not accept it. Whatever makes it easy.  How do we shove 17-18 year olds out to deal with whatever life has to throw at them? I think they need more time to mentally and emotionally develop before they are required to make serious decisions. One day they’re high school kids and next day they’re adults! They’re expected to act like they know everyt...

Menopause!

Wow! Did anyone tell anyone what a fun ride this is supposed to be?! I’ve heard enough from friends and family and the surprise element that comes with it to kind of get an idea about it and I thought it’s a good topic to bring to the forefront. We need to talk! Whenever we were told that someone is going through the “change”, it was a scary, not to be spoken of event. Everything was hush-hush as most of these things are, which made them even more mysterious and scary. No explanation or advice was ever given to the next generation of women, everyone figure it out on your own! And the age, well there is wide range of years that it can start in. So again, lucky you, you’re on your own. So every generation of women is left wondering what the hell is happening to me? Why is my body becoming my own worst enemy? But when you peel away the mystery it’s a simple physiological phenomenon that only we women are lucky to go through! The effects it’ll have on your heart and bones and overall healt...

Food!

Well you must be wondering where did this topic come from?! My motivation to learn and share the importance of what we put in our bodies started more than 20 years ago when my dad was first diagnosed with diabetes. That was the life changing moment for me when I realized how little we know and pay attention to this simple activity. Since then, learning and understanding how food and the types of foods     affects every single cell of our bodies has been a passion. So much to share, so little time:-) Much has changed since our grandmas and our moms made food. If they see the food most of us are surrounded with today, they’d faint! Why are we subjecting our bodies to stuff that our ancestors would have a hard time recognizing? Is it convenience or just ignorance? Or is it that eating healthy requires work and modern lifestyle leaves us all tired? Why our kids are eating snacks upon snacks when their energy output is so low? What were treats when we were growing up have now becom...
