Do you have trouble sleeping?

Try this little exercise.  Type the words “why am I…” into Google.  The first auto complete suggestion, which is based on popular searches, reads “why am I so tired?” Sleep deprivation has become a global epidemic, with over one-third of adults regularly sleep deprived. Think of yourself as a car.  Every time you think, speak, […]

A Different Christmas Day

Last year I got to experience a different way people spend their Christmas Day. Every year we spend December 24th with my family in Peterborough, December 25th with my husband’s family and Boxing Day is our family’s Christmas Day. But last year my husband’s family was going away and we would be alone Christmas Day.  […]

THE POWER OF OLDER WOMEN!

There is something to be said for older women.  I’m not just saying that because I am one, but because of what I have learned from older women since I opened Spa Sedona over 10 years ago. Older women have more wisdom, better understanding of what they want, better understanding of what is important in […]

De-clutter to De-stress

The lazy days of summer are coming to a close and cooler temperatures are here. Fall always gives me that urge to start clearing out, cleaning out and reorganizing. Whether it’s, the changing of seasons, not going to the cottage, or nesting, it’s time to de-clutter. It always makes me feel better when I clean […]

When we first started this girl’s weekend we talked about our jobs, life experiences, our kids and our […]

Women really know how to do it right!

This year I got my first set of new golf clubs.  I had always had my husband’s hand me downs. My husband did not see the need for me to get new clubs. His reasoning was that I didn’t golf enough to get a new set. Well, I had a different opinion.  I went out […]

CELEBRATING OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Time flies when you are having fun.  It has been 10 years since Spa Sedona opened and it has been quite a ride.  The first three years were the hardest, by six months I had changed all the staff but two(and they were family).  I went to bed every night saying “what have I done” […]

A new club I didn’t want to join

I knew this day would come when I would have to write this May Newsletter. In 2007  I first introduced you to my Mom, Mary Dunford who was celebrating her 90th birthday. Each Mother’s Day I would always do a shout out to Mom and let you know how she was doing.  In September Mom […]
