Better than I was, but not as good as I used to be

Posted on September 27, 2017 by catelabarrecoach

My first true Adirondack hike, October 1998. I believed it was like walking in the woods, only with hiking boots. Halfway up Blue Mountain I was paralyzed in fear. Exposed granite, smooth rock, wet with recent rain and icy in … Continue reading →

Posted on October 3, 2013 by catelabarrecoach

I gave up hiking for the better part of two years. Not because I wanted to, but because my body wouldn’t let me. There was no “believing” that could overcome the reality of the near impossibility, yes — even if … Continue reading →

Nourishing the Soul

Posted on July 9, 2013 by catelabarrecoach

I’ve come to think about “taking care of myself” with different language lately. Sometimes “taking care of myself” feels like an onerous task. Exercising. Eating right. Getting enough sleep. Knowing what stresses me and figuring out what to do about … Continue reading →

Stretching

Posted on June 17, 2013 by catelabarrecoach

It’s a Pilates Reformer. Looks like a torture device, I know. Last week, I went back to Pilates after too long a break. This happened through a series of events that I believe were a conspiracy by the universe for … Continue reading →

Finding the Gift

Posted on June 5, 2013 by catelabarrecoach

I’ve injured my left heel. Just too much of something and it haunts me every time I do that something or sometimes something else. This morning my nurse practitioner confirmed it, “Yup, you injured your heel, maybe this, maybe that.” … Continue reading →

The Arugula Diet

Posted on May 15, 2012 by catelabarrecoach

I awakened in a crabby mood this morning. No particular reason. I espouse daily gratitude, but sometimes I’m just NOT grateful. I’ve learned that if I go with the flow and ‘bitch’ for a little while, I’ll come out the … Continue reading →
