At the turn of every New Year, many of us make promises to ourselves for a fresh start: daily workouts, cleaner eating, better sleep and less stress. And yet, by February, most resolutions have already fallen away. The problem isn’t a lack of discipline; it’s that what we’ve been sold as the…

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with winter. While there’s nothing quite like the beauty of snowflakes gently falling or enjoying a crisp, sunny day, the season also comes with its fair share of challenges. Chief among them is the battle against dry, flaky skin.
From an outsider’s perspective with two feet planted firmly on the ground, indoor rock climbing might seem kind of weird and a little daunting. People in little pointy shoes reaching and pulling to scale a wall pocked with colored bumps no bigger than a burger bun. Grown men walking around i…
Now in its sixth year, the WNY Hiking Challenge encourages outdoor exploration via 46 of the region’s most unique hiking trails.
Dumbbell curl, dumbbell curl. Repeat. Ten lifts on the leg machine. Repeat. Ten lat pull downs on the other side. Repeat. A jog-walk on the treadmill. Repeat.
“For Tomorrow, he knew, all the Who girls and boys, Would wake bright and early. They’d rush for their toys! And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That’s one thing he hated! The NOISE! NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!” – Dr. Suess, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
I want to start in the present. I want the bookends of my story to be as grounded as my mind is in this moment.
Your body knows it’s wintertime. A quick, corporal inventory might reveal shoulders tense from shivering continuously for weeks. Skin as dry as a forgotten dish sponge by the basement sink. Joints that sound like a certain crisped rice cereal when asked to bend too quickly. Muscles pulled fr…
I think it’s fair to say that a decade or so ago, to share you were seeing an astrologer would have been taboo. Yet, now, your sun, moon and rising sign is a common conversation amongst friends and acquaintances.
I was recently brought to tears on the 33. It wasn’t a cascade so much as a swell, the sort you experience after a surge of emotion—in my case, a strange amalgam of nostalgia, wistfulness, joy and relief.
Carving out time to dedicate to ourselves may be difficult, but penciling in moments for self-care can make all the difference in how you feel. And while that can take many different forms, the cliche image of effortlessly lounging in a robe at the spa packs unique self-care appeal thanks to…
When I think of aerial arts I think of Carrie Bradshaw and the flying trapeze episode, Pink performing at the Grammys and—of course—the iconic scenes of Cirque du Soleil. You know, professional performers doing professional things.
We decided the last leg of our maiden voyage as full-time RVers, before returning to Buffalo, was to make it down to the southernmost point of the United States along the East Coast: Key West. And let me tell you, she did not disappoint!
My husband and I made a commitment to each other that when we decided to leave Austin, we would explore as much of Florida as we possibly could and really make the most of our conscious decision to return here. So, after spending the better part of a month inland, we decided it was time for …
By now, summer’s seasonal happenings are in full swing. Garden-tending. Pool floating. Burger grilling. Park playing. As everyone spends more time outdoors enjoying fleeting warm-weather activities, another seasonal circumstance takes place: finding injured or abandoned wildlife.
After putting down some roots, albeit temporary, in Winter Garden, Florida, we decided to take a quick jaunt over to the neighboring city of Winter Park. As we wandered down South Park Avenue, picturesque with its multitude of different awnings belonging to a variety of shops, we stumbled up…
I looked up at my husband sitting across from me at the dinette in our RV. The sun had just set in the Austin sky, painting it with the perfect blend of pink and blue that looks just like cotton candy.

We rode past the most serene lake, just a few ripples from a paddling kayaker ever so slightly disturbing the water’s peace.
It’s a fairly common fantasy—hitting the open road in an RV, leaving the daily grind of life behind.
