My daughter is starting a new chapter, I’m still writing mine and it’s all ok💗

Watching my daughter get married brought so much joy—and a reminder that motherhood keeps changing as our children build lives of their own.

I love being a mom.
I also love being a woman who’s still making plans, trying things for the first time, and enjoying her own life.

There’s room to celebrate who our children are becoming and who we’re still becoming, too.

Almost 60, and there are a few things I wish I’d understood sooner.

I’m a work in progress😂

What would you tell your younger self?

A little Hawaii, a lot of gratitude. 🌺

Our honeymoon, one year later—and a chance to enjoy this season of life together.

There was sunshine, exploring, facing a fear or two, and plenty of moments worth keeping. These are a few of my favorites.

This was my last holiday before my clients return to the desert and the studio gets busy again. My virtual clients have kept me teaching along the way, but soon I’ll be welcoming familiar faces back in person, too.

Heading home grateful for the time away and looking forward to what’s next. ❤️

One little band made it into my suitcase. I never travel without one🌴💪

Two hand positions, paired with an elevated plié squat to bring upper and lower body together.

The teaching point: keep gentle outward tension on the band and your ribs over your pelvis as your arms reach overhead. Let your shoulders move naturally with the reach.

At 59, I went snorkeling for the first time—and also did a night snorkel with manta rays. 😳

I was terrified. But I wanted the experience, so I let myself be a beginner and did it scared to death💀
Thanks to Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tours for an amazing time!

I spend so much time encouraging clients/friends to trust themselves and try something new.
This time, it was my turn. 💙

Were you ever you scared to try something but glad you did it?

Taking a few minutes of rest in a Hawaiian paradise Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection cuz when this trip is over, my clients are back in our own happy place to get strong with me in person!!!
To all of my clients, I’m so grateful for each and every one of you!
See ya real soon and welcome back to our paradise, I’ve missed you ~ so don’t mind me…
I’m enjoying my own paradise right now

A little strength work with a Hawaiian view. 🌴

Your hip flexors help bring your leg forward with each step. Here, the band adds resistance while the standing side works to keep me steady all while connecting with my core and no I don’t mean pretty six packs 🙄
My focus: move through the hip, stay tall, and control the return.

One year married, a daughter’s wedding just celebrated, and now our honeymoon. ❤️
Almost 60, and still making room for firsts.

To me, aging gratefully means appreciating this chapter while staying excited for the next.

There is still so much life to say yes to.

When your arms move, does everything else follow?

With this kneeling row, keep your ribs over your pelvis, hinge back and pull without rotating your torso.
Let the arms move while your core helps you stay steady.

A birthday is not a performance review.

There’s no need to arrive with a list of accomplishments to prove you’ve used your time well.

At almost 60, I have things I’m proud of, things I’d do differently, and things I’m still figuring out. I imagine I always will that’s what growing means!

I can appreciate the life I have and still want more for myself without turning every “not yet” into “I should have by now.”

Aging gratefully leaves room for being a work in progress. 💙
