Tour Guide of Pinellas County
There have been many tourists and visitors who have come to Pinellas County to see the beautiful cities of Saint Petersburg, Treasure Island, Gulfport, Pinellas Park, Largo, Seminole, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Tarpon Springs. Pinellas County is a beach county and often lumped with Tampa as part of Tampa Bay (when they call it Tri-City area) so that tourists who like the "beach" will know that Tampa has access to more than a bay. I've lived in Pinellas County for a long time and I've seen it grow just like I did when I lived in Tampa. Many things change over the years, but some things stay the same. For this "tour" I'm going to talk mostly about the things that have stayed the same. Maybe I'll write another article later about the things that have changed.

Living Naturally In A Toxic World
I remember when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost 20 years ago. It was not an easy process, and all I wanted was to not feel sick all the time. Long story short, my healing journey began once I changed my diet (Something most doctors won't tell you). Also, the more chemicals I removed from my everyday life, the better I naturally felt. While it may be a challenge, it's not impossible. My advice is to try not to lose your mind over it. Just do your best to create a healthy life for yourself one step at a time.
