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 …

Do you notice how the beginning of a new year tends to carry with it more hope? More expectation? More positivity? More anticipation? Why do you think that is? I guess there is just something about starting something new. Why are we more prone to drag our feet and feel worn out at the end …
It really feels like I have spent much of my life sitting in hospital waiting rooms and in clinics waiting for medical tests. It really started when I was 16, with cancer diagnosis #1.

New Year's resolution. Uuggghhh. I can just hear the groaning from you. I get it. I totally get it. It's just one of those things that comes around every year whether you like it or hate it. Lots of people have lots of suggestions and hints and explanations. Helpful or not. I'm wanting to take …
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? Seeing new places and finding new things? Travelling and seeing different places and new cultures have so many benefits …
Wondering if you need to act like a bear probably isn't your usual thought process but stick with me here. Winter has finally arrived in full force recently, at least here on the prairies.
