Well, that tittle makes me feel like I should be part of S.H.E.I.L.D. I wouldn’t mind joining S.H.E.I.L.D. but I am not sure what I would bring to the team. But a las I am just using the letters to represent my health activism. H – Hemp. This is what I’m using as my current protein…

What do you do when you are having a bad day? How do you change your attitude to make it a good one? Here are my top five ways to get me on the path to happy? Take a few deep breaths – sometimes taking a minute or two to just breathe can help to clear…

Summer is just around the corner or in my case it is pretty much here already. Phoenix has been having some higher than usual temperatures but now that I have the ac on at home I can’t complain. I honestly don’t mind the heat most of the time. I hate being too cold or too…

If I had to give my celiac disease a tagline I guess it would be: Abstain from gluten, from tasty cakes and delectable brownies. Put down the savory bread and pasta too. Although divine on the tongue, gluten is wicked on your digestive system.   Yah, I know this is pretty bad but I have never thought…

Today’s prompt is pretty self-explanatory, “I feel best when…” and my answer is relatively simple and short. I feel best when… I finish a race, especially a half marathon.

Today’s prompt is slightly more difficult for me to write. My celiac disease diagnosis isn’t even a month old yet. I have only felt marginalized or stigmatized a couple of times. However, I do feel more like I am a burden when I go out to eat or I feel left out at work when food…

It is a little funny that today’s prompt, Day of Rest, falls on my actual rest day from workouts. Although the prompt is talking more about relaxing to relieve stress and my workouts help relieve stress so not exactly the same thing. 😉 Today’s Prompt: Kick your feet up! What is your ideal day in?…

I have two furbabies and I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love these two. They are always happy to see me. Always. Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease I had this fog and feeling of depression. It made getting up and going to work difficult. All I would think about…

Today’s prompt is comfort food: We’re not all 5 star chefs, but we all need to eat! Tell how to make your favorite dish. Does the recipe hold a good memory for you? Is it the act of cooking itself that brigs you joy, or the people that come together to eat it? This prompt…

I am late to the party by nine days but I have decided to participate in the WEGO Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge. I plan to focus on my workouts (running) and my recent diagnosis (celiac disease). I am starting with April 9th, Challenger. Running half marathons is always a challenge for me. It is…
