2020 Health Challenge

I see so many celebrities posting about a "Dry January" GIRL... I have been dry for 11.5 years!! For those of you who don't know me closely, no I'm not in AA. If you are I commend you though. I can't drink because my meds say there would be an alcohol interaction. This is something many chose to ignore with many meds as they love to drink. I don't ignore it. Also having irregular brainwaves alcohol messes with them. So in order to have the healthiest brain and best chances at NOT having another seizure I do not drink. If there is something you can to do be your healthiest - Give up something, add something - I challenge you to do it!! If I can live my life without alcohol ( my husband does too in order to support me ) You can do what you need to do as well. What has your Doctor been telling you to do but you ignore the advice? Should you workout more, give up a certain type of food, stop smoking, stop drinking, limit sugars, drink more water, eat more fiber, less meat, less calories even more calories! Whatever it is love yourself enough to actually do it. Years ago I decided to do so. I changed my life. I listened to the Dr's. Fixed my blood pressure. I lost over 100 lbs and have maintained it 8 years. Helped my brainwaves by not drinking. Strengthened my bones with vitamins, collagen and working out. We may be handed a bad diagnosis BUT we can do our best to take ownership and help heal our bodies.

Did You Hear?

Since I know more than say, think more than I speak and notice more than most realize here are some things to help those who have gossipy issues get through 2020 with a fresh start....

1. Rumors are carried by people with hate in their heart. Spread by fools and accepted by idiots🤦🏼‍♀️ 2. If they gossip to you, they WILL gossip about you🤷🏼‍♀️ 3. Gossip dies when it hits a WISE person's ears 🙌

Make it your habit to shut down conversations that aim to bring other people down. Make this year the year you rise above hatred and smallness. Be an example for those both young and old. If you have time to gossip you have time for something positive. Find a healthy new habit. Workout your mind, your body or your heart. You are what you surround yourself with. Rise above

A New Decade

Walking in and out of the hospital for the past few days I have passed this lady. She brings my heart a sigh each time. 10 years ago a friend of mine passed of cancer in this building. It was this time of year. Cold and dark most days out. She longed to be in the sun. We would push her down the hall to the big windows to sit in the sun. One morning she said I just want to FEEL the sun. So we wrapped her up as warm as we could head to toe. We pushed her past the nurses station. I believe to this day they pretended not to see. Jumped in the elevator and out the front door. We stood in front of this statue with her in her wheel chair. She knew her time here was almost over. She didn't say it but I know it. She felt that sun. Breathed that air. It was truly the most beautiful vision. Today is the first day of the year. Of a new decade even. Try to find the beauty in it. Even in the sad memories.. even in an ordinary moment. Life is beautiful. Just look.
