I hosted Thanksgiving for 26 out of the 28 years I’ve been married. Last year, I passed the baton to my younger sister. I finally declared (out loud) that I DO NOT LIKE TO COOK. And so I won’t. Unfortunately,…
The M-word. That’s how I refer to menopause. That’s the same way I used to refer to marriage before I was married. I was scared. How would it affect my life? Would I be a different person? Did it mean…

It’s no secret that I have a huge sweet tooth. I will take dessert over a main course any day (unless the main course is a Five Guys cheeseburger and fries). My sweet cravings spike at night too, after dinner…
The other day it dawned on me. If I, a dedicated youth/fitness/health/I-want-to-look-younger-and-somewhat-hot-warrior, am making excuses to avoid going to the gym, then she who is without FOGO (fear of getting older) may be making similar excuses. So I took an…
