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!
Let’s talk about this. Do you want to be a waterfall or a well? Don’t worry I’m going to explain it more! I know eventually all metaphors unravel but stick with me on this one as long as you can. This relates to who you are to other people and when you are around other …

What do a stack of books, Queen Elizabeth and a 7 year old girl have in common?
100, well actually 101, but you won't tell, will you. I've written over 100 blog posts so far. Hard to believe it. Well I know I don't believe it. I remember considering writing this blog for over 3 years before I even officially launched it in 2021. And now I've been writing it for almost …
