Fallen. Big Time.
This is me. Floating around in the ether like an autumn leaf, detatched, aimless. Going wherever the wind blows. Landing in no particular place. I’m sure you can tell by the date gap between my last post and this one, I took a detour off my path. When life is bombarding you and fear creeps…

Ready, Set…Move
Yep! It’s time. I’ve been eating better, feeling much better, and I know that part of my prescription for health has to include some kind of physical exercise. Today was such a gorgeous day, just a few passing clouds, 80+ degrees, so on the way to pick up the groceries, instead of driving past the…
5 Ways to Combat Cravings and Eat Healthy
