You Are Not Alone
Change is a constant in life. You can be going through your daily routine and within a second, it can all change. That's something I'm all too familiar with. Since I was five years old, I've dealt with trauma and change. It's the only life I've known. And that's what I want you to know: You aren't alone in your struggles. Even when you feel like it's only happening to you, I'm here to tell you... I can relate. Maybe even understand where you're coming from.

The Toxins We Feed Our Body
Our body is a temple and what we put into our temple ultimately determines our quality of life. But, this isn't just true when it comes to the food we eat but also what we feed our minds and spirit and that's what this piece represents. On one end we have the daily toxins we absorb through processed foods, unsafe prescription drugs, and social media. These are the things that break our mind, body, and spirit down over time the more we indulge in them which eventually dim our lives. And the freighting part is we aren’t always aware of what seems bad at first. Prescription drugs in moderation can help us feel better, social media in moderation can help us keep in contact with family and friends but even simple things like this can become toxic if we over indulge and aren’t mindful on how they can impact our lives.

Fibromyalgia
As I sit in the slightly less intimidating but no more comfortable side chair in my doctor’s office, I find myself wondering: why did I have to get stuck with the chronic illness that no one seems to know how to really treat?

Why I Avoid Sugar
In March of 2015, I underwent weight-loss surgery in order to make my life healthier and more fulfilling. It was a decision I took very seriously, and to be honest, I was terrified. During the process, I had to take nutrition classes and learn about food in a very different way. However, no matter how much they talked about healthy eating, they never really said stay away from bad foods. Instead, it was always said to eat treats in moderation.
