If you read my earlier post, then you know that I’ve been busy doing the “marching band mom” thing for the past several months. But, that’s not all I’ve been doing. I accepted a contract back in June with a music store in a neighboring town to repair band instruments. This was in addition to my writing and natural health…
Intermittent Fasting, also known as IF is a simple technique used in the primal and paleo worlds to optimize hormone response, help the body repair and rebuild cells, and aid in calorie management for people who wish to lose weight.

Yesterday, I wrote an article that I had intended on posting here. However, after my husband read it, he suggested that I submit the article to Lewrockwell.com instead. I did, and the article was posted on LRC this morning. Here’s the link. I hope you take the time to go over and read it.

Like I said earlier, living with Multiple Sclerosis is hard. But, overcoming it is even harder. You have to be willing to work for it. You have to be willing to give things up, change your habits, change your thinking and step out into the unknown. It CAN be done. Here’s how. Stop Making Excuses This is my biggest…
I don’t hide the fact that I have medically diagnosed and confirmed Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. In fact, I make it a point to make sure people know. Most people who know me in real life know I have MS. Friends know, family know, most general acquaintances whom I see regularly know. Why? Because my health is my second most…
A new study has linked depression to systemic, or chronic, inflammation. Research has discovered that markers for inflammation are predictive of depression. In other words, people who have high chemical markers in their blood for inflammation also have depression. In addition they’ve discovered that giving people who suffer from depression anti-inflammatory medicines help ease the depression. For an in-depth look…
Stress. We all experience it, and it’s not all bad. The stress response is important to our survival. It helps us deal with danger or immediate threats to our life and safety. If you are attacked in a dark alley, if your home is broken into, if your life is threatened by a wild animal in the woods, or even…
