The second week in November has a lot going for it. First, we share President John F. Kennedy’s quote regarding Veteran’s Day… “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”  San Diego is Veteran friendly; but according to a Voice of […]

Author Pearl Buck said the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members. November is designated as National Family Caregivers Month. (1.) We acknowledge and thank the many former and current caregivers who attend our Zumba Gold® and Essentrics™ Stretch classes. You are appreciated for a love that elevates humanity. (2.)

One of life’s delights occasionally is to do something just for the fun of it. This week those of us participating in Zumba Gold® classes [click for Classes & Events Page] will experience good revelry. Why? The long-awaited Fancy Pants Week is here. If you haven’t been to class in a while…this may be the week

Sometimes life rewards us with a payoff. This last Saturday evening I ran into overheating issues with my car’s radiator. I found myself… wrestling and fighting with a jammed radiator cap,  walking a city block while hauling two 9.4 pound gallon antifreeze/coolant jugs from the auto parts store,  getting down on hands and knees –

This coming Wednesday, September 23, 2015, the earth’s northern hemisphere will enter the Autumnal Equinox at 1:21 Pacific Daylight Time. On Equinox dates (the other being the Spring, or Vernal Equinox) daytime and night last approximately the same number of hours. For those who celebrate Pagan and Wiccan traditions, the Autumnal Equinox is called Mabon and

When talking up our September Self-Improvement creativity project in classes last week, I noticed a few attendees looking a little concerned. “Uh. Oh. Do the ladies feel un-creative?” I felt dismayed. “Did some adult long ago tell a student she didn’t have an artist’s soul?” Fear not. Creativity grows with the doing. Beto Perez, skilled dancer/choreographer and

By googling around the internet…we discover that September has been designated Self-Improvement Month. Even though our canine friend below is napping and not thrilled with self-improvement…most of us can find something related to health upon which we may want to act.                    In fact, Sunny B. at
