  Little Love Notes! SPARKLE IN SIXTY "Let us always meet each other with a smile, for a smile is the beginning of love." by Mother Theresa Have you ever asked yourself.... What if? What if I didn't marry who I did? What if I didn't have the career I have? What if I wasn't a stay at home mom? What if I only had so many children? What if???  If you have asked yourself that...You are normal! And yes, it's OK to think about it, as it's usually in a fleeting moment that is a follow-up to a heated moment. That's what makes you human!  In my early days, I thought I was being the good wife, the good mother. However, how it was being received was not how I thought it was being perceived. Overtime, this really put stress on our relationship as husband and wife. What I thought was serving him, truly wasn't. A relationship is either moving forward or backward. It cannot remain stagnant. Remember when you were dating, neither of you could do wrong. You were wearing the blinders. Then you got married, moved in together an

Have you ever felt that everyone is sucking everything from you? SPARKLE IN SIXTY Between your j.o.b., children, spouse, volunteer work, school, YOU are beyond exhausted and have nothing left to give. It's ok to feel that way.

However, MAKING time instead of finding time is key. You will never find the time until you MAKE time!! The K.I.S.S. ~ What one thing brings YOU joy? The one thing cannot cost money. The one thing gives you peace, calmness, and relaxation. The one thing is something you like to do, but very rarely make time for. ACTION TIME!!! Make time for YOUR joy two(2) times this week!!

We're talking heart health! SPARKLE IN SIXTY February is Heart Health Month. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. Taking care of your heart is vital. Ways to lower your risk of heart disease...from the American Heart Association. Watch your weight. Quit smoking and stay away from second hand smoking. Control cholesterol and blood pressure. Limit alcohol consumption. Eat real. Eat healthy. Get ACTIVE. When thinking of heart fitness, cardio comes to mind. Yes, cardio is excellent. But let's take it to a whole other level with H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training). HIIT is a short burst of full out activity with a recovery period. Then repeat. HIIT can last 4-30 minutes, all depending on the fitness level of the individual. You can do this with running, walking, the elipitical, biking, and the treadmill. Sprints are GREAT too.  If you are a beginner, start slow with 30 seconds of burst training and then rest for 1 minute. For example, if you are on the treadmill, walk at a 4.0 for 30 se
