Today We Honor Those Who Served
On a day like Veteran’s Day, we proudly honor our many Veteran’s who have passed, and are still with us. Their sacrifices for our freedom should be acknowledged and appreciated. I am the proud wife of an United States Air Force Veteran, Aunt to an enlisted Army Soldier, Daughter-In-Law to a Vietnam Vet and Grand Daughter to a World War Two Navy Veteran. It is important as we honor them, that we also remember that many of our Veteran’s and first responders are struggling with physical and mental...

I even struggled with Bulimia in college. I had and continue to hear calories in, calories out. Most diets I have tried have not been sustainable nor has the small amount of weight loss lasted. I have had my thyroid, cortisol levels and hormones...

If I got paid every time I heard someone say, “people have all lost their minds” in the past 6 months, I would be rich and retired! Well maybe not, but I have heard this so often. It feels like the world has been turned upside down. There is so much divisiveness, fighting, political agendas and the media is having a field day exploiting all of this and helping us to be more and more anxious, frustrated and angry. Stress is so bad for us both physically and mentally and yet how can we possibly not be stressed with everything going on? The...
