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!
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 …
So in my last post I introduced some information about fasting. It has become a popular health practice so I wanted to give it some attention and give you more details.

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 …
