Lessons From the Trail: Shifting Focus
Posted on July 28, 2020 by Sharon King

Covid Camping in Northern Michigan
Posted on July 14, 2020 by Sharon King
I’ve been patiently waiting for my first adventure in my re-imagining phase. I didn’t really camp much last year so I was a little rusty putting everything together, and, of course, traveling anywhere during this time is not particularly wise. But I decided to… Continue Reading “Covid Camping in Northern Michigan”

Reimagining….
Posted on July 10, 2020 by Sharon King
So, it’s been a week since my “retirement” from Whirlpool. Note: Unless the Universe has other plans, I won’t be retiring. It’s more like a readjustment. I sort of like the word ‘reimagining’. My brain needs something to imagine or I’ll go crazy. My… Continue Reading “Reimagining….”

Since we have all been working at home since March 9, we have to go clean out our desks before we retire June 30. The campus is closed except for a few essential workers, so HR scheduled 2-hour shifts to clean out our desks… Continue Reading “The Weirdest Good-Bye”

The Lessons of Quarantine
Posted on May 25, 2020 by Sharon King
I had a long talk with an old friend of mine this morning. I needed some advice, and I needed perspective. I have reconnected with a lot of friends during the quarantine that are not in my usual sphere of influence. We have long… Continue Reading “The Lessons of Quarantine”

It IS WHAT IT IS
Posted on April 5, 2020 by Sharon King
Today I am at a three. It’s not good, but it could be worse. I’m just going to ride it out and hope for an upward climb tomorrow. I walked a bit today but probably not enough. It is what it is. I watched… Continue Reading “It IS WHAT IT IS”

Posted on April 4, 2020 by Sharon King
Meet Luna, my newest family member. Bella says, “Kill Luna.” “Huh… what is that?” Ashok asks. Let the acclimation begin. I took in two kittens early in the week.

Posted on March 30, 2020 by Sharon King
I’m feeling a bit better today. This morning I woke up and practiced a Yoga with Adriene yoga practice. Adriene has compiled a Yoga for Uncertain Times playlist.

Posted on March 28, 2020 by Sharon King
I’ve been interested in what other people have been doing to try to piece a life together during this crisis. Those first few head-spinning days I watched all of my fitness gurus switch from promotions for their gyms to offering free online programming.
