Ten months from now, my daughter’s wedding celebration will end with a reception. Thanks to COVID, different religious beliefs and cultural preferences, what normally would’ve been a wedding weekend has been spread out over a year’s time. They self-officiated their legal union this past October. National Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC My son-in-law’s family hosted a…

100 Days of Self-Care Results Post
On December 7, 2020, I decided to commit to 100 days of self-care. I’m happy to report that I woke up today, Day 100, feeling lighter, more stable and moving better. I’m lighter because I started Weight Watchers in February and have lost 10 pounds. I like WW because there are no good or bad…

Benefitting from BE Fit Movement Therapy

Luckily Bianca Eulitz, a Personal Trainer (ACE), Massage Therapist (LMT) and owner of BE Fit Movement Therapy, sees clients close by in Rockville, MD. Normally when I hear the word trainer I immediately think sweaty workouts…
