My closest friend is a retired lawyer like me.we used to work at the same place for 13 years, then I moved away-but we kept our relationship through thick, and thin. I am telling you this, not because I think this is a valuable piece of information for you, (though- who knows, right?) but because […]

Feeling down?put your blues to good use!
Apparently many people are experiencing an existential crisis -or mini-crisis- these days. I can’t say I share the emotions since I had an existential mega-crisis a long time ago, and ever since I am not absolutely sure there is necessarily a meaning to all this, but I try to enjoy the journey nonetheless. This does […]
Mirror mirror on the wall- what mirror will make me look better than all?
Ok- so I already wrote about my body changes -as in I gained weight while in the process of trying to gain muscle. In case you forgot or happened to skip that iconic post of mine, here is a link. My body changes: strength +weight gain I wrote that I found out that for me- […]
How I failed my 2020 resolutions on 1/1/20.
I have this tendency to criticize. I guess it is no wonder I worked in the justice department for more than 28 years. Or maybe it goes the other way- maybe I was a happy free spirited holly go-lightly before I started working as a lawyer, and the job- and the horrible things I witnessed […]
2-week Intensive yoga course in India-full and honest review!
On September 7th I celebrated my 51st birthday, and since for the past year I decided that there is no better time to make dreams come true than the present moment, I went, by myself, to Rishikesh, India, to an ashram called Parmarth Niketan, to participate in a 2 week intensive yoga+meditation course .

Is being a clueless woman actually a virtue?? (Bridget Jones as a test case)
Yep, Bridget. Jones. Come on- don’t roll your eyes at me. It’s summer here, temperatures are around 98 Fahrenheit -(or should I say Farenhight) and I have a thing about using the air-condition – it is not environmental, not frugal- and I am trying to acclimate myself to natural occurring temperatures -be it high temperatures […]
Dealing with my body issues (cup A personality type?)
Believe me when I tell you I hesitated a long time before writing this post. I mean a very long time. I started this blog more than a year ago- and this is my first exposure- so to speak. I will be turning 51 in September, and as I have told you in previous posts, the […]
Making dreams come true at 50
Yessssssssssssssssssssss this is me. I know everybody is looking for a way to turn back time- I am having the greatest time of my life right now. Since I turned 50 9 months ago, my life has changed completely. I have made tremendously important decisions that allowed me, for the first time in my life, […]
I have a problem with “I need you “songs
Lately, I’ve been running with some trance playlists on Spotify. People these are 2019 worldwide hits, and yet- the lyrics, for many of them, are focused on the likes of: #What will I do without you. #I can’t go on without you. #How will I survive without you. #Now that you’re gone. the rooms are […]
Being prepared: keep in shape! (+a frugal tip on how to get yourself a “personal massage therapist” for life for a just a few $)
I understand that we cannot prepare for every possible thing life arranges for us- I wish we could. Being a control freak, having 100% certainty in life would have made me a very chilled person- (or perhaps I’d arrange something else to worry over..) But- I believe we can definitely mitigate the possible outcome of […]
