I will finally travel back to NY to be with my mom next month and have the chance to do just that. I was supposed to be there in April but with travel curtailed for many of us, I will be looking to make the most of “staycation”. I will be swimming in her huge built-in pool, running around the yard and if I am really adventurous, swing on our childhood swing set. I’m not sure if the rope swing will hold my weight but we’ll see. I may end up driving my mother crazy if she hears me yelling “Marco Polo” in the pool as my brother, sister and I had done for hours at a time so many years ago. She may buy me a one-way ticket back to California. This article has some great “staycation” suggestions. Stay safe!

With the pandemic, bicycle sales have gone through the roof. If you are one of the lucky people that have a bike, this article could be very helpful. There is an ever-growing waiting list now for bikes. If you think you might want one, now is the time to put your name on a list. There are so many benefits. Not only do you improve your health when riding, but you also create less pollution, improve your mind, something you can do as a family and it can be a quicker way to get from Point A to Point B when you are not dealing with automobile traffic. While they refer to Whistler in the article, it has applications across the board.

Planning and Packing for a Whistler Bike Trip

Here are some things to consider. So often we associate our identity with the job we have. When we lose a job or are looking for a new job, it can be very stressful. The article below refers to Canada, but the message can be helpful no matter where you live.

As a Career Coach, I have used all these strategies. Especially during this pandemic and times of uncertainty, taking the time to study, learn, grow and research can help you have a sense of control. It can prepare you for when the right opportunity arises. By networking here on LinkedIn, you are taking the right steps. Be willing to take a job you wouldn’t typically take as they can still offer transferrable job skill development and you will expand your horizons. You will meet new people who can help you find the right job and it will show future employers that you are willing to work. Good luck and happy hunting?

Has your back ever bothered you before? When it has, why is it that you drop everything and then have to become creative in figuring out how you will pick it up. It’s at that time that those kitchen tongs become your favorite kitchen utensil! It is the oddest thing. As I have gotten older, I realize the importance of staying limber. I have made a conscious effort to stretch each day. I have even started Yoga. That California lifestyle is rubbing off on me. This article discusses stretching and how to start it safely!

My profile picture on Facebook and LinkedIn were taken last year when I was 59. I’ve had people tell me I look younger. Of course, I had slipped them a $20 bill so I’m not sure how true they may have been, lol! I have used Honey and also the Milk “recipes” they indicate in this article below. The honey can get pretty sticky so some prep time in advance is suggested. I have very sensitive skin so I didn’t want to try the lemon juice suggestion. It’s a nice way to pamper yourself while stuck at home during the pandemic.

We all have stress and in the current environment, it isn’t surprising. Distress paralyzes us and we are unable to move forward and reach goals. Ustress can be quite helpful and it causes us to take action and move towards a productive means.

When I am distressed, I can choose to focus on those things I can control, not those I can’t. I can’t control the economy but I can manage my spending and where I live. I can’t stop the pandemic but I can do my part in wearing a mask and self-quarantining.

What we focus on grows. If I only focus on the negative aspects of my life, they will overrun everything else. When I focus on positive dimensions, then my life becomes brighter.

It gives me hope that things will get better. The article below offers insights into how women and men manage stress differently. Enjoy your day and stay safe!
