H.E.A.L.T.H.

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 Read more

Summer is Coming

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 Read more

Health Tagline

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 Read more

I feel best when…

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.

Pet Pals

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. Read more

Comfort Food

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 Read more

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 Read more
