Black men are more at risk of dying from PAD
The man in the photo was my husband for 40 years who passed away at age 63 on March 7 of this year. This image is from 2015 when we took a walk in a local park. My husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May of 2012 and the following year was told he had PAD which is the abbreviation for Peripheral Artery Disease. He did his best to stick to a healthier diet and increase walking and exercise. He eventually also quit smoking and monitored his blood sugar closely but now 9 years later he is gone. PAD is progressive but it's possible to slow it down and perhaps even reverse it.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG
Social media rules the world and has always been the number one influencer since its ravishing start. Despite-what is considered- their somewhat “fake news,” or the gregarious, invasive, at times evasive or even horrendous details of information (depending upon the platform), the world still trusts them to deliver expeditiously and candidly. Social media is known for the most interesting details of current events, releases, and technologies.

If I Buy This, I’ll Be Happy
One year ago this week, I was laid off and introduced to the quar. Like many other people, I took this as an opportunity to better myself. Or at least told myself I was going to better myself because, let’s be real, I’ve spent the better part of the past year horizontal with my dog on one side and a bag of sweet chili Doritos on the other. None the less, my intentions were good. And like, I’m sure, so many other people out there social media made me even more blindly confident in this. That inspiration was always fleeting, but for a solid 3 or 4 days a month I was committed to this new healthy lifestyle! I spent many a 3 a.m. on Tik Tok inspired to begin my new life the following morning! Cut to waking up at noon, seeing there’s a Roseanne marathon on, and grabbing those Doritos instead. In some small ways, though, these influenced purchases were helpful and did help me become a better version of me who now doesn’t judge myself for eating a Little Debbie brownie for breakfast. Let’s get into it!

The other of course being corruption.

Life + Movement = Balance
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." – Albert Einstein Can you remember that first instant when you were finally pedaling, steering, and balancing a bicycle all by yourself? It felt so liberating and exhilarating. And terrifying, too. For me, there was that split second when I felt my big brother's hand leave the back of my bike seat and my instinctive need to balance kicked into gear.
