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. Plus strategies I have found successful for me and give you tools for success with your health and life. Life can knock us down through health or life challenges but that doesn't need to stop us. Welcome friends, I am so glad you are here and that you learn something helpful along the way!
Health, what if you lose it? There are likely a few types of initial responses to that question, but 2 that are probably very common. Well for the majority of people I think, anyway. There are those who think about this question constantly. They think about it, they dwell on it, and it can consume …
This is my final post about fasting. If you haven't read my previous 2 posts, I think you should go back and check them out. I will start by saying this fasting experiment, I think has been a great success for me. But I will also tell you that I realized just how much I …

Have you done much travelling? It doesn't necessarily need to be going across the globe to a far away place. It could just maybe going to the country next door and exploring. Do you enjoy travel?
