Madder than a Wet Hen …
As any Southern would understand …the dark clouds were blowin’ up a storm… The journey up to that point had been beyond exhausting …airports…airports and more airports …from Port Elizabeth, a 3:30 pm flight to Johannesburg …a 3-hour layover…11 1/2-hour Flight to Heathrow with a 5-hour layover…an 8-hour flight to Dulles …2 days and no […]

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢…Turtling Along It does take about an hour a day to get 10,000 steps…30 minutes in the morning exercise video…Leslie Sansone 2 mile Walking video on Youtube (Free) AND 30 minutes in the afternoon…walking the dog when weather permits…love being outside…breathing the fresh air… That’s how I’m changing my mindset. Dieting based on willpower DOES […]
