Whenever we push ourselves beyond a normal limit, either physically or mentally, or even both, we have to take the needed steps to insure our bodies are getting what they need to replenish. I have written a lot on this blog about being proactive with our healthcare by taking certain supplements, exercising, and getting enough…
Yesterday I walked away from the town I’ve called home for 17 years. I stood in my empty house for about 10 minutes after cleaning it for the new owners and remembered all the milestones that occurred there. I didn’t think I’d get emotional, but at the end, I did. Even though I am excited…
About 2 weeks ago I wrote about the big storm we had up in Alpine and how the thunder had taken it’s toll on my Chihuahua. Turns out that was nothing compared to the trauma that my cat endured during the move to our new home this week. Clara was in a small kennel during…

I haven’t talked in detail about this oil for a few years but I heard from a user who wanted to share her story about it. The woman told me that several times a year she feels like her immune system isn’t running at it’s highest. She is an elementary school teacher and is around…

I’m going through a pretty big change right now and I’ve been pretty proud of myself for keeping it all together with work and other responsibilities.
