What are You Saying to Yourself?

September 27, 2017 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

  I'm about 10 days away from the Nevada Senior Games' 5K cycling time trial and less than 14 days away from the Huntsman World Senior Games' 5K cycling hill climb and 20K cycling time trial.

My head is not in the game and neither is my … [Read more...] about What are You Saying to Yourself?

  Back when I was going to a yoga class at my local gym, I was often one of the, um, "full-bodied" women in class. Because I lacked flexibility and the necessary strength to hold a pose for longer than 10 seconds, I felt pretty awkward. I couldn't help but compare myself to everyone else, especially those young skinny gals who seemed as flexible as cooked noodles … [Read more...] about Yoga: It’s for Every Body
