Terri and Melissa talk Mindfulness and Meditation with Martha Brettschneider, who is a Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute Certified Teacher, author, blogger, speaker, and award-winning nature photographer.

Under the umbrella of her company Damselwings, LLC, her offerings help busy people cultivate daily mindfulness practices to flourish in all aspects of their lives.

Formerly an international economist (U.S. Treasury and International Monetary Fund), Martha stumbled upon mindfulness teachings while recovering from breast cancer in 2009. She chronicles her journey in Blooming into Mindfulness: How the Universe Used a Garden, Cancer, and Carpools to Teach Me That Calm Is the New Happy.

Martha and her husband live in Vienna, VA, where they raised two sons and a myriad of four-legged (and winged) family members. Learn more about Martha's work at damselwings.com

Our new segment HOTFLASH has Melissa seeing red this week. Why do we women dislike pictures of ourselves SO much? We are beautiful creatures! Take selfies, ladies and post that sh*t all over social media. 50+ women need to represent!

We talk about our experience with our Creative Live class on drawing, revisit middle school AGAIN, Terri gets the feels over Meatloaf (the artist, not the food) and we talk tracing paper, number 2 pencils and a lack of patience.

Join us on the journey!

Remember when you were in elementary or middle school and got to take art classes? We want to recapture that feeling and see if we can use drawing as a way to be more creative. The problem is, neither of us are all that good at it. Terri feels like it might be more frustrating than not and Melissa would like to see if it can be an entry into a different way to be creative.

Terri and Melissa are going Back to Basics by taking a virtual drawing class on Creative Live.

We'll begin our 5 day journey into drawing on 9/25.

In part 1 of this three part series, Melissa joins Terri on a journey to develop intuition. Why should we, as women in our 50's, listen to our intuition more now then ever and is it possible to become more intuitive?

Terri is pretty woo about the whole thing, while Melissa is more skeptical, but they're both open to seeing what happens!

Today's Cocktail, the Garden Cherry Bourbon Smash is based on this recipe from Half Baked Harvest
