Modern Day Racism is Real

I am a white female- not single. Privileged, for sure. A middle- aged kiwi white woman of the mongrel variety. I am a mix of Irish, English and Croatian heritage but do not identify strongly with any. This is probably due to a lack of knowledge and following of traditions growing up lending to an …

I got F.A.T. Female Athlete Triad. It sucks.

Before you press send on that message of consolation telling me I'm not FAT (but, thank you anyway) ... read to the end of the title. F.A.T.= Female Athlete Triad. "Aye? What's that?" Now that I have done a somewhat engaging title (I know, clutching!) to the FIRST BLOG OF 2018 (what the?), let me …

Bringing it Back to Basics

I don't know what it is, the air, the rain, but I think people have lost it. They have forgotten that good health comes down to 3 key things; what you eat (and at times, when... punny anyone), how you move and how you rest. I don't think anything stated in the sentence above is …
