For anyone who has been around me long enough, and heard me talk about my health journey in any way, you have probably heard me say this, "I wouldn’t have chosen it, but I wouldn’t change it?" What does that mean? You might be able to guess but I am going to tell you anyway. …
Regret – What I Wish I Learned The First Time
Regret. It's something that we are all likely going to face at some point in our lives, if not many times. Hard to avoid really. But I guess it depends on what you are regretting, why you are regretting it and how you plan to move forward past the regret. Easier to talk about than …

Choice – Are You Empowered or Depowered?
Hhmm is depowered a word? I'm not too sure, but let's go with it just for me. Like so many things in life, it comes down to choice or choices. Are your choices going to empower you or remove your power? Are you going to take back power and control or give it away? Every …
