Solo Traveler: The Stripper’s Keys
Solo Traveler: The Stripper’s KeysAs a solo traveler, I’ve learned the hard way that there is no one to count on but myself. That means I have to be über-responsible, always alert and on guard.
Traveling in second- and third-world countries, every day is a training ground. Literally, the ground must be watched carefully, or I will fall, trip, drop into a hole, or have my feet slide out from under me. Falling is by far my biggest travel fear, and I seem to have a trip per trip, no matter how careful I am.
The other great fear is losing something extremely valuable, like the Read More

The “fences and fines” approach to Read More

Ask The Life Coach: En Route to Happiness
Ask The Life Coach: En Route to HappinessI never had an original thought in my life. That is why I always turn to established authorities like Tolstoy, Woody Allen and Tony Robins.
What? You think it’s an odd list? It contains a classic writer, famous cinematographer and bigger than life, Life Coach. So what? I learned a thing or two from them. Mainly, that our existence is all about happiness — happiness and completion. Really!
What would you not be willing to try to get there? You will take an unconventional route, you will not bend to circumstances, and you will push harder and harder Read More

Solo Traveler: Planning a Really Big Trip … Alone
Solo Traveler: Planning a Really Big Trip … AloneSurely every person with a few decades under the belt has a list of things they still want to do before kicking the bucket.
As I’ve gotten older the list has grown. Every time I check off an item I find more places or things to add to it.
Many years ago, I went to San Francisco with a friend. We had such a good time and saw so little of that wonderful city that I vowed one day I would return and live there for a year. At that time, I hadn’t traveled much outside the U.S. and thought I would love to live for a year in different American cities. Read More
Prescription for Better Health: Have More Sex!

DHEA is an anti-depressant that also helps repair muscle tissue, improves cognitive function, and enhances skin health. Oxytocin is an effective pain reliever in the body. Endorphins also help relieve pain caused by things like arthritis and promote better sleep.

The noise has been driving husband Don wild. (He’s trying to write a serious blog. (There are such things.)) I couldn’t hear the noise because my office is on the other side of the house.
