From Mountains to Injury
This year has been full of highs and lows. From climbing my first mountain in the Brecon Beacons to a pottery class. Gaining the courage to go swimming in a public pool (something I haven't done in 18 years) to having trouble at work and spending a week wild camping in Wales to a week in Worcester hospital with possible sepsis in my ankle.

One Cup a Day
It's October 5th, 2018, and today I want to talk about how reducing my coffee intake a few months ago to just one cup a day changed my life. I write this and I still haven't had my morning cup yet.

Helping a Family Facing Cancer
I wrote this piece back in 2015 in the midst of my husband’s treatment for blood cancer. I have left it, for the most part unedited as the rawness and sense of what we needed at the time really does come through.

Nutrition After "I Do" . Top Story - October 2018.
I don’t usually talk about this very much on media because I am a lot more focused on writing poetry, some prose, and of course, taking care of my small online business with selling body butter. However, recently I have observed differing trends, like people doing many different diets like whole30, keto, etc. I felt a need to share this because of differing public opinions regarding how to take care of our bodies… inside and out.

Weight Loss Strategies for Men

Whittle the Waist
I hated being skinny when I was a child. The other kids would tease me because my clothes were always too big. I didn’t even need a bra until I was 15, and even then it was more for show than because I really needed one. I actually only weighed 99 pounds when I graduated from high school. Even when I was older and gave birth to four children, my weight zoomed right back down after the deliveries. I could basically eat anything I wanted and not gain a single pound.
