  • Thank You!

    Thank you GUIDEPOSTS fans for your awesome response to last week’s blog!

    Congratulations to the 10 winners of my newest DVD, Pilates Stability Ball.

    And thank you for the encouraging notes you sent me, too. Pamela in Illinois wrote, “Your stories encourage, edify, and give us over-30 girls the push we need to care for ourselves.”

  • Jumpstart Your Fitness Plan Now!

    I've been thinking about plans a lot lately because I'm trying to make one of my own.

    I know that when you want to achieve something, you need to take steps that will lead you towards your goal.

    For instance, this is the three-step fitness plan that always gets results:

  • Car Talk

    Last Friday morning my husband and I got into our car and headed to Nashville for my annual heart checkup. The only problem was that every Friday morning I do a Shaped by Faith radio segment with Joe Lowe on 1490 AM.

    Although I had never tried this before, I decided to call into the radio show from my car. As my husband drove, I called Joe Lowe from my cell phone and shared with his listeners the easy and effective exercises they can do in a car.

  • Two Mothers Day

    Mother's Day has often been a hard day for me—I have unanswered questions about both my birth mother and my adopted mother. Watching my baby grandson sleep recently helped me realize I had a newfound peace.
