I am no expert, but I want to share my cancer battles and my mental health journey with you, some stress reduction ideas for your life, and hopefully some fun things along the way.

Welcome friends, I am so glad you are here and that you learn something helpful along the way!
Can I say something to you that I really wish that someone would say to me sometimes? You are not behind. I know it can feel that way. I know you look around sometimes — at people your age who seem further along, more settled, more put together — and you feel this quiet, nagging sense that you've somehow missed a step.

1906 That is the year my family farm officially began. Hard to believe it's been that long. While I definitely wasn't around for the early years, I have been around for enough of the later years to appreciate the legacy of what my family has built. I so greatly appreciate all the work, hardship and …
Do you know someone who you just speak with for a short time and you feel like you know them really well? Or maybe you are someone who easily shares a lot of things about yourself with people you have just met. Honestly some people are just like an open book and it doesn't take …
