The Chick Abides – Moxie On Monday

  Did you know that I used to love White Russians? Yup. This green juice loving, yogi puritan, used to think it was pretty cool to head out for a night with the girls – the chicks – cozy up to the bar and happily guzzle a White Russian – or two. Overtime, I graduated … Continue Reading

If Not Now, When? – Moxie On Monday

Have you ever felt this lingering sense of urgency, this inner tug that seems to take place, organically, from deep within as a woman reaches Midlife? Over time, that tug becomes stronger and stronger. Even if we aren’t paying attention, that itch does everything possible to get our attention – to wake us up, if … Continue Reading

Was It a Facelift … or Meditation?!

“Come on. Tell us the truth. You weren’t at a meditation retreat. You snuck away for plastic surgery!” That was a real conversation with some girlfriends – not after returning from some luxury spa or Hollywood Hideaway with a famous plastic surgeon. It happened following one of the most transformational experiences of my life. No, … Continue Reading

Time For Grace – Moxie On Monday

Cheers Beauties, I’m back after a long hiatus. I’ve missed you! It feels AMAZING to be back. Not long ago, I wouldn’t have taken such a long break. I wouldn’t have given myself permission.

The Super Power of RBG – Moxie On Monday

Women matter. Women at Midlife & Beyond matter. RBG knew this truth. Ruth Bader Ginsburg understood true power. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a living example of true power. She knew that power didn’t need force. So did Dr. David Hawkins. He was the author of one of my favorite books of all time: Power Vs … Continue Reading

Think Outside the Mox! – Moxie On Monday

  I’m just going to put it out there. LA feels weird. Life feels weird. I’ve been uncomfortable. Out of sorts. Why is it that getting out of our environment and our daily routines, especially during COVID and quarantine, tends to lift our spirits and fill us with inspiration? Not long ago, I loved living … Continue Reading

Need a New Reality? Change Your Perspective! – Moxie On Monday

We live in crazy times.  Covid-19, quarantine, economic strife, and chaos around every corner.  Oh, and then there’s the rigid political divide. You get on your side while I’ll stay on mine.  Red versus Blue. Right versus wrong. Mask versus no mask.  Watch the news or doom scroll on social media and you’re sure to … Continue Reading

Lose Yourself … Find Yourself – Moxie On Monday

One and done is what I thought. I believed that once you lost yourself and went through the arduous process of finding yourself, you wouldn’t have to do it all over again. Oh, how painfully naive I was only to have that belief shattered time and again! As I approach my sixth decade of this … Continue Reading

Gone Fishin’ – Moxie On Monday

Right next to my father’s faded brown leather Lazy Boy in his den, his 60’s version of a man cave, was a sign that said, “Gone Fishin.” The walls of his cozy respite were covered in a faded, dusty grey woven grasscloth. On every single wall was a collection of fish – everything from a … Continue Reading
