I am no expert, but I want to share my cancer battles and my journey through depression with you, and some stress reduction ideas for your life. Plus strategies I have found successful and give you tools for success with your health and life. Life can knock us down through health or life difficulties 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!
It’s something I haven’t done for a while. A long while. Too long really. A few weeks ago I went skating. It’s been years since I have done it and much longer since I’ve done it regularly. I was very excited to go again after that, so I did. Since I had gone to an …
Where should I start? I am going to split this in to 2 separate posts but I could probably do many more, since I have learned so many things going through all that I have been through. So maybe the title should be some of the things I have learned. Here is a little bit …

Your smile. It can be something that you share often and use freely or something that you hide and might not bring out very often. Let's admit it, if you are being really honest, you are similar to most of us and when you see yourself in a picture, you quickly make a judgment on …
