USA (Wisconsin)/Canada (Toronto)/Türkiye (Istanbul) - Week of October 18, 2026

İstanbul'dan selamlar/Greetings from Istanbul, So great to have you join me for another week of adventure. I'm grateful you made the time in your busy life to check out this blog post. You'll find limited content in this week's post as my trip to Istanbul was for personal reasons. How was your week? What did you do to stretch outside your comfort zone? Where are you at with your Halloween preparations, for those of you who enjoy this spooky, scary and sugary celebration? My friend Scott in Eau Claire, Wisconsin hosts an annual Halloween party for his neighbors which is a must attend in costume event of the year. I will need to extend a future Eau Claire stay beyond October 31 so I can join in the revelry. I know Stasha, my Soul Flow class yoga instructor, will have a Halloween themed give away at her class.

Hello my dear friends! Greetings from Istanbul! Delighted and grateful to have you join in my latest week of adventures from Eau Claire/Altoona, Wisconsin.  How was your last week?

I avoided any lengthy drives during this visit.  I've continued to reflect on the incredible blessings I've enjoyed in my life. The warmth, extraordinary hospitality and universal kindness I've been receiving throughout my visit in Eau Claire certainly has sharpened and deepened my gratitude.

United States of America (Wisconsin) - Week of October 4, 2026

Hello!  Greetings once again from Eau Claire, Wisconsin!   This was the week I received a timely reminder of how I've been neglecting my body. Six consecutive sessions of yoga over six days drilled home the message that I ignore my flexibility at my own peril. Compounding my loss of flexibility is the extra weight I'm now carrying. It's time to reverse this unhealthy path I'm on. I want to have the best capability to enjoy my life. How was your week? What interesting people did you meet? What interesting conversation(s) did you have? What one thing did you do that took you out of your comfort zone? As my good friend (and yoga guide) Stasha would say, every new activity helps build a new neural pathway. A healthy brain contributes to a healthy life! The Dells Mill The relatively stationary travel lifestyle I currently enjoy has opened to the door for me to express increased gratitude to the universe for my blessings. The warm and caring reception I've received frommy...
