Ode To Menopause
I woke up when my husband came to bed
I woke up when the cat snuffled my head
I woke up before the sun rose
Then I woke up at 6 on the nose
Sleeping through the night a distant dream
This all seems like some evil scheme
They say I’m going through a change
Why does it make me smell so strange
My body temperature rises quickly
All this sweating makes me prickly
The symptoms of this change are myriad
Yet every month I still get my period
When will this transition finally end
The highs and lows drive me around the bend
I say that I’m truly ready to be done
But I know…
the grieving has just begun.
Feet Exercises: Strength & Flexibility – Why Foot Health Is Essential for Whole-Body Movement
Our feet are remarkable structures that serve as the foundation of movement. They not only support our body weight but also adapt to various surfaces, absorb impact, and propel us forward. Despite their importance, feet are often neglected in fitness and wellness routines. Incorporating targeted exercises to enhance foot strength and flexibility is essential for optimal whole-body movement. In Taking Root to Fly, Irene Dowd explores the role of the foot in whole-body coordination and movement efficiency. In Chapter 5, “In Honor of the Foot,” she describes how the foot is not just a passive support structure but an active, responsive part of movement. Dysfunction in the feet can lead to compensatory patterns throughout the body, affecting posture, alignment, and efficiency in movement. By training the feet, we improve stability and movement quality while reducing strain on the knees, hips, and spine.
