I Need Problems. What?

Yes, that is what I read somewhere a few weeks ago. I need problems. We all do. It’s problems that keep us alive. Can you believe it? After getting over the shock of the statement and thinking about it, I see it’s true. We get our energy from problem solving. If we lived a perfect . . . → Read More: I Need Problems. What?

A Great “First Day”

I have not felt that “first day of school” feeling in six years. Last night I locked the door on my Mashpee Koko FitClub for the last time. I packed my car and prepared for the first day at my new club in Centerville. I was apprehensive, my members were apprehensive – none of us . . . → Read More: A Great “First Day”

Fall & Change Go Hand in Hand

In the fall of 2012 I discovered Koko FitClub and began a whole new way to exercise and stay fit and healthy. In the fall of 2013 I began working for Koko and traversed the cape clubs 5 days a week.

How Quickly We Fall

I jumped right into the shower as soon as I got home from work tonight. I started remembering how after school and working out I used to get home at 6 pm and do the same thing when we lived on Darlene Drive in New York. My husband and his mom would always have to . . . → Read More: How Quickly We Fall

Slowly

It was three years this summer that my mom passed away. I had a hard time with that. I spent my life talking to my mom almost everyday on the phone. I used to get excited to go over and have coffee with her. When I didn’t see her so much after I moved to . . . → Read More: Slowly

Oh, Those Two Steps

You know how life goes. One step forward, two steps back. I hate those two steps, but life is not linear and nor is progress in it vertical. We move, but it is not always in a forward direction. Those two steps show up every time you add, subtract, multiply, or divide something. Every time . . . → Read More: Oh, Those Two Steps
