I’ve not been taking care of myself. In fact, I’ve done the opposite and let my body go down hill over the past few years. Self-care has been on the back burner until recently and even though I tell everyone they should take time for themselves, I feel like such a hypocrite for not taking [...]

I realize I’ve really been slack about self-care, especially during the Holiday season. My water consumption is down and coffee consumption is astronomical. When I start adding in sugar, too many processed foods and subtracting exercise? Friends, I’m a hot mess. Sitting here tonight, I’m working on my plans for self-care. No, I’m not waiting [...]

My skin has been covered in patches of dry, itchy, flaky skin and felt like worn out leather. Rubbing and scratching your [...]

At least that’s what it feels like lately. Over the past 5-6 weeks, I’ve been under the weather. Heck, who am I kidding? It’s like Mother Nature turned into a train and ran me over. I started out with a staph infection under my arm, moved to the flu and just finally got over a [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about Trey Pennington and his family. He committed suicide yesterday, outside of a Church, leaving behind his wife and six kids. Looking at his Twitter profile, you would have no idea he was depressed. He was a man making plans to meet people, have coffee with them and travel to London. Those [...]

I found a lump when I was 18 years old and experienced my first mammogram, having to drive 50 minutes from my home to the closet town that could provide imaging for dense breast tissue and ultrasound at the same location. So, I was thrilled when asked to share about the new mobile mammography unit rolling [...]

I was recently contacted by Ubisoft and the Clever Girls Collective to be one of their “Ubisoft Champions” and participate in their social media program. We are huge fans of Ubisoft games in our house and I felt it was a good fit. I game to not only blow off steam, but to spend extra [...]

It was a sight for sore eyes… After the way this year has been with traveling, the hectic nature of modern family life and other things going on that I won’t mention here, it was great to go out and visit with the IndoJax crew and watch them run this camp for visually impaired children. [...]
