Chix & Tell

  So I dressed up as Lady Joker last Friday for my judging duty at the SM Monsterrific Halloween Costume Contest!   In previous years, I’ve come as an elf and a witch , but this time I went for the easiest character I could pull off—and had so much fun with it! 😄 I always enjoy joining SM’s Halloween festivities and dressing up for the kids.

Turning 49 has been both a celebration and a gentle wake-up call. With events to run, deadlines to meet, communities to serve, pets to feed, a home to keep, and passions that continue to unfold, it’s so easy to put myself last. So I always make an effort to keep this promise: to take care of my body the way I take care of everything else. Intentionally, consistently, lovingly.
