Fight for Your Health
While this blog is not about Multiple Sclerosis, when readers find out I have MS, they often want to know how I manage my symptoms and what they can do to help live better with a specific disease or poor health in general. As it turns out, the things I did when I was diagnosed [...]
Simply Run
Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Jt Clough of Big Island Dog. Running has always been my staple exercise. Why? Because it’s easy. Though at first it may sound like something that isn’t for you, take a few moments to find out why running just 10 minutes a day could change your life [...]
The UnDiet
I have started more diets than I can possibly write about. Because I’ve started so many times, I know I must have ended many too. The ending is never as exciting or memorable and usually I don’t even recognize when a diet is over. Sound familiar? While paying attention to our health is important, we [...]
Sleep Well: mini-mission

Pain, Running and Possibility
If you read this or this, you know I’ve been meaning to start running for some time. Actually, I did start, a few times, so I should say… I’ve been meaning to keep running. The first day of a new exercise program is always the slowest and most painful. It is also the most exciting. [...]
Meditation for Real People
You don’t have to be a tree-hugging, tea drinking, yogi to practice meditation. I use each of those terms with great affection as they have all applied to me at one time or another. They are all a small part of me. Mostly, I am a wife, mom, photographer and writer. I take care of [...]
