I can still hear my mother’s voice. “Stephanie, you’ve got a big wrinkle down the left side of your face.” (Yes, Mom, I know.) The motherly reminders began in my 40s and continued TFN. Once when Mom visited me in Los Angeles, we went as a pair to a dermatologist who shall go unnamed—and who [...]

I was initially perplexed with the combination of asanas, those poses or postures, paired with regulated breathing and meditation. “This doesn’t move fast enough,” I thought. But I’d come to practice [...]
I liked this story from last year so much, it’s touching down again here, updated for Sunday. Women can be real fans, too.
