It's A Man's World, Or Is it?
The Mary Tyler Moore Show The year is 1970. Leave it to Beaver is well in the rear view mirror and the Cleaver’s marriage is 50% less likely to survive the decades to come. Sitcoms reflect the new status quo. The Odd Couple , Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, struggle to survive life as two unhappily divorced dudes living together without the help of wives.

Adrenaline + Dopamine to Fight Viruses
Adrenaline + Dopamine to Fight Viruses On a recent trip to Chicago I coupled hang time with my grandkids with a conference. Between the petri dish that comes with kids and close talking at an event my immune system did not hold, a virus got me. The Universe knows how to slow me down. While I will push through most cold and flu symptoms, I am very susceptible to laryngitis. When my voice goes, it's time to stop. As the seasons change and travel ramps up for the Holidays be min

Birds & Bees and Honey Please!
Meet our Queen Bee (represented by the white spot on her crown) In ancient times, honey was considered a luxury item. It was a symbol of sweetness, devotion and longevity. Cleopatra moisturized and bathed in it, and the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese each succumbed to its magical healing powers. While I have always loved honey, it is only in recent years that I learned to include it as a staple in my daily skincare routine. Why honey? As the founder of oOYes and Uh Huh Honey

Swimming & Breath Work for Epic Sex
Swimming and Breath Work for Epic Sex As the lifeguards find their way back to college, Denver Parks & Rec are winding down the outdoor swimming season. It has been a blast. Since signing up for the Sunset Triathlon - Boulder I find myself at the pool 4-5 days a week swimming 1800 meters without stopping. I have surprised myself. For me, swimming has always been an exercise that is about breathing, rhythm and headspace. Physically I can swim 2000+ meters without stopping.
