Processing the Tragedies of Hurricane Harvey

Processing the Tragedies of Hurricane Harvey

Yet, we are all still deeply affected by what happened below us in South Texas.  We all have family, friends, and business associates located throughout these regions hit hard by the storm…especially in Houston.  My nephew and his young family have lost everything.  My esthetician cancelled our appointment dealing with family who lost everything in…

Fashion Over 50: Re-Fashioning Summer for Fall

I think we all, over 50 ladies, have garments we love …but perhaps do not understand exactly why??  I am a fan of the brand, Bryn Walker, and see it at my local Dillards.  This Bryn Walker tunic entered my life last year, and I really do love it.  There is just something about this…

Body Image Over 50: How to Change Your Focus

As over 50 ladies, we are all pretty much the same.  We rise in the morning…stand in front of the mirror…and our eyes go first to what we feel are the “problem areas.”  We may see the wrinkles…the bags under eyes…the moles…or, in my case, the rolls in the middle. Here are some of the…
