Climb that mountain
After my 20-year film career stalled out, I went back to school and became an accredited Career Coach at 60. There were many people way ahead of me, and I am definitely not as young as I used to be. But I did succeed, and was even interviewed on The Today Show about it. Keep fighting for your dreams.

Yoga during lockdown
In November 2019, I took my first yoga class and had just a few months with a live teacher before moving online because of Covid. There are ways that I’m getting stronger, but without someone guiding me in person, I’m stuck at poses 2 and 4. Any tips from yoga aficionados are greatly appreciated.
