How the Hen House Turns—The Human Factor (Part 5): Goose Whispering
How the Hen House TurnsMy strange relationship with Bobbi goose began when she grew into adolescence. I didn’t know then, that geese will establish a pecking order by mounting another goose when no gander is around. (The ducks also do that.) I thought Bobbi must be a male, and Bobbi thought I must be some kind of strange goose she needed to dominate.
Bobbi has never attacked me with a serious bite, but whenever I stay too long in the pen or herd them down the hill too early, the hackles rise along her long neck. (She is Read More
Solo Traveler: Held Up In Mexico
Travelers dance around their combi during the ‘hold-up’ for Benito Juarez’ birthday. Photo by Sherry HardageIn 2012, I decided to rehydrate my desiccated high school Spanish with a six-month swim in a Mexican lake. San Cristóbal de las Casas, in Chiapas, was the perfect choice as there were few English speakers living there to distract me.
I found a teacher and some other Americans whose language skills were similar to mine. We met twice a week for a couple of hours at my casita. Once in a while we would walk to the market or a nearby Read More

How the Hen House Turns—The Human Factor: Calm Persuasion (Part Three)
How the Hen House TurnsIt’s amazing what a low, quiet tone in a human voice will do to influence an animal’s reaction. The skunk that lived under the Hen House for a while didn’t even raise a threatening tail when I crooned, “Oh, hello, sweetie.”
I had run into him when coming out the back door and when I caught him stealing eggs. Of course, backing off also gave him the clear message that I wasn’t going to trap him there in the nest box.
During early mornings on the front porch, a soft noise gives the scrub jays the message that peanuts Read More

Solo Traveler: Habits
Solo Traveler: HabitsWe all have valuable habits, like brushing and flossing our teeth, or putting things back where they belong after using them.
Habits are quite valuable while traveling, too, though it’s easy to forget all habits when you’re outside of a comfortable routine.
I experienced a couple of disorganized trips before discovering that I needed to come up with some habits, practice them so they would actually BE habits, and then use them all the time at home as well as on the road. Life got a lot easier when there was a system in place.
I used to take several bottles Read More

Pain Free Athlete: Prevent Osteoporosis With Aligned Posture
The Pain Free AthletePrevent Osteoporosis with Aligned Posture
I’m worried about osteoporosis, as are many of my clients. Osteoporosis is a thinning of the bones, which increases the likelihood of fractures and can lead to disability and death. The diagnosis of osteopenia also denotes decreased bone mass and is a precursor to osteoporosis.
Similar to high blood pressure, osteoporosis is a silent disease. You can have it for many years without knowing because there are no symptoms. The body doesn’t warn you of the internal decline of your bones. Often the first Read More
