Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I'm not sure when it happened, but a couple of months ago my friend and I were making plans to meet at the gym for a group fitness class. I mentioned that I was desperate to do anything - even put my winter white self into a swimsuit and I don't know....swim? We looked at... Continue Reading →

My guy and I have started on a new journey to good health. He got some bad news back from his blood work last month, and we are trying to avoid medication. We will be meeting with his doctor later this week, but on our own have been doing a lot of research, experimenting and... Continue Reading →
