Yesterday, I had a strange moment.  I felt like I’d gone to sleep and woken up impersonating the American cooking legend Martha Stewart.  Well, I’d been headed there the day before but just hadn’t woken up to what I was about to become. It’s been a wintry, blustery, gloomy week.   As I walked past theContinue reading “MARTHA, IS THAT YOU?”

Much to my surprise, at the tender age of 59, I’m in a happy relationship.  It’s the soul healing, best friend in an edgy outfit, rock solid, make me life till I cry thing I’ve waited for all my life.  I love hanging around with him.  Love it that we both love to dress upContinue reading “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”

A rambunctious romp for midlife women. It’s about  reinventing life one day at a time. Riffing (or ranting!) about when it feels good and when it feels bad. It’s about yoga, fitness and health, hair, skin, travel (hah!) and clothes.  And anything else that, well, feels good or feels bad! #yogamama#heroestozeros#hairobsession#stayathomegal#gooutandhavefungal#savetheplanet#coolsustainable#notravelAustralian#lovetheskinyouisin
