Gait Happens: a great resource for foot pain and gait issues
I’ve had arthritic big toes for years. The right one, in particular, has been very painful and I have had to be very careful about what shoes I wear. In the past year or two, the left one has worsened, and the combination was making it very painful to walk with any speed. Another negative […]
Into your hands and out of your head
As many of you know, I’m an avid crafter of all things fiber. I enjoy the tactile aspects of different kinds of fiber; I love working with colors; I get absorbed by the creative process; and wearing things that I have made with my hands is gratifying. As you can see, I love my hobby. […]

Make daily movement part of your routine
Modern life is so sedentary. If you have body pain or stiffness, fatigue, headaches, low mood or mood swings, think about incorporating more movement into your routine.

How full is your rain barrel?
While pondering what to write about for this issue of the newsletter, I realized how exhausted and overwhelmed I’ve been feeling.
