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!
If your hope lies in all negative, bad or destructive things being blown away in one fall swoop, you will likely always be disappointed. If you can find hope in the small, incremental progress that happens towards resetting bad systems or holding systems to account, that is success. I know, I know, we want things to happen in big ways and all at once.
Do you look around and just see darkness? Difficulty? Struggles? Hopelessness? Quite honestly it's hard not to, especially in the darkness of the winter season.

Bigger. That could mean anything. Well this post might be a bit of wild ride but I hope you will grab on to the kite and hang on for the bumps. Bigger does mean many different things. I don't mean a bigger bank account, although that might be pretty nice in these tough economic times. …

When you are searching for answers, so often it can feel like you are spinning in circles. Spinning around and around trying to find what you are looking for. We can experience this for so many different situations in our lives but I am going to focus on the health part of our lives. Raise …
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.
