Why I’m Skipping the Turkey Trot This Year… 🦃🏃‍♀️ Here's what happened... Last Thanksgiving, I decided I was going to do the “healthy thing” and sign up for a Turkey Trot. You know, to “earn” my stuffing and pumpkin pie. 🥧 So there I was, bundled up at the starting line, surrounded by overly enthusiastic runners in turkey hats and Thanksgiving-themed costumes. The air was chilly, and I thought, “Okay, this will be fun… I can totally handle this.” Fast forward 20 minutes, and I was already regretting every decision that led me to this moment. My pace? Let’s just say I was closer to a leisurely “Turkey Waddle” than a trot. I got passed by a guy dressed as a full-sized gravy boat. Yes, gravy. With the ladle and everything. And he was FAST! By the time I crossed the finish line, I was sweaty, sore, and ready to hibernate instead of celebrate. And somehow, the feast didn’t feel as guilt-free as I thought it would. 🙄 So this year, I’m skipping the Turkey Trot and going for a smarter option: the Thanksgiving Calorie Crusher workout. It’s quick, intense, and you can do it right at home—no turkey costumes required. And best of all? It burns more calories than a Turkey Trot in half the time! It's in the Classroom, and it's yours!

Today is @Thomas Miller’s Birthday and I thought a wonderful gift to give him would be to create this space to both wish Dr. Tom well and also share appreciation for who he is and his purpose.

Sometimes life doesn't deliver the results we want when we want them. That is beyond our control. What we can control is how we respond to the undesired "contrast experience" Here's how I handled it today. Drop a like in the comments if you find my experience share helpful.

I often write poems. Sharing makes them real. This came out this morning: Umami Love First spark on the lips, like honey dissolving fast - tender, fleeting joy. Shadows on the tongue, teaching strength through cutting contrast truth behind the ache. Deep savor remains, soul nourished beyond the thrill Wholeness tastes like home. ----------------------------------- It is yours to do whatever you like with. Extract whatever meaning works for you, and I would love for you to share what emotions or thoughts come up when you read it. ___________________ In case you've never heard of Umami... - Umami is the fifth taste (beyond sweet, salty, sour, and bitter). - It’s often described as savory, rich, deep, and satisfying. Think of how a perfectly slow-cooked broth or aged Parmesan tastes - not flashy, but grounding and memorable. - It lingers. It’s subtle, yet it makes the whole dish feel complete. Don't forget to share what this poem made you think and feel.

As little kids, we knew nothing about the Whirling Dervishes of the Sufi, or that it's literally a spiritual practice in which spinning puts them into a deep trance and connects them with the Divine! We just know it feels good! Dancing, Merry Go Rounds, roller skating - all put me into a state of bliss! Like I'm in a centrifuge, and the elements I don't want or need, just fly off.... Leaving behind a super-concentrated, Mega-Janice formula, I guess 🤣 !!! Sharing MY love, light, concentrated life-force WITH YOU, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. Now it's "YOUR TURN" to turn - spin for a bit! How do you feel? IMPORTANT TIP: change directions frequently, if you're new at it! ❤️❤️❤️ C'mon. Let's PLAY!
