Part Two...ish and the Underrepresented

One of the things we have noticed is there is not a lot of representation for the 50+ community out there. There are a plethora of people to follow when it comes to health, nutrition, exercise, and relationships for the under 50 crowd, but what about those of us in the part two...ish of life?

When you hit part two...ish, life becomes a little different. Many are in the “sandwich” phase of life ~ still dealing with children (at varying ages and differing life phases), and now in many instances, adding aging parents to the mix, that often require assistance. 

Some are still married to their “one true,” and many are still seeking the lid to their pot; wondering will I find that person to spend the remainder of my life with?

For some, the concept of health and wellness came early to them, some are playing catch up, trying to countermand the 80’s (ahhh...the 80’s the time of excess and AquaNet); and for some, sadly, their health has taken a toll and the struggle is truly real. And, some of us just fall right into the middle.

One of the goals of this blog is to share what we are doing from a part two...ish perspective specific to our relationship, nutrition, and exercise. We are far from experts ~ and I mean VERY FAR, friends! More, we are just two people, in a relatively new relationship, looking at ways to enhance our health and well-being, while creating our version of a “best” relationship. We want to share what is working well for us; and YUP! We will even share those things that went horribly south (I mean honestly, those are the stories that really resonate, after all!).

Let’s make this a community of people that share what is working and what hasn’t, perhaps, worked out quite like we had envisioned.

What is something that is helping you positively move through your current phase in life?


We look forward to hearing from you!

M💗K & Dez too

Exactly, Who Are We?

Welcome to our blog...a blog from two fifty "somethings" fortunate enough to have found each other in the second half of life.

We'll share our adventures with love, laughter and a HUGE does of humor. Who says life slows down at 50!?! We are just getting started, so grab a cup of coffee and join us!


Who are we? Me, my name is Kelly;  a 53 year-year old runner, half-marathoner, Yogi wanna be, 3/4 of the time vegetarian, reader, writer, sister, aunt, friend...and dreamer.
 



I was single for years. And, I mean YEARS friends. But, then here comes this guy...ok, well it was more like sign-up for Tinder; swipe left, swipe right, turn around three times, click your heels and viola, you have a match! (I mean doesn't everyone meet that way nowadays!) But, seriously, here comes this guy...and, wowzer!


Him, his name is Michael, a 57-year old musician, artist, dad, grandpa, meditator, yoga guy in training and half marathon bound ~ Surf City or bust.
 I have been told, he is quite easy on the eyes and I have to admit, I don't disagree! And, he is willing to partake in this whole blog thing about us. Pretty brave...ummmm, I mean awesome guy!


And, we can't forget to introduce a third member of Part Two...ish; Dez, my miniature Australian Shepard. Dez came to live with me a little over two years ago, and quickly adapted to "city" life and being an "only child," or commonly referred to as being a princess.



Dez loves me...but, I have to admit she crushes pretty hard on Michael.

So, this is us, navigating through Part Two...ish of our lives, we hope you will join us in our journey.
