Eat the Cake
When we have life events that we celebrate, we eat cake, and a lot of it. Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, you name it. We eat the cake. And in the name of health, we often shove it away or say, "No thanks, I'm watching what I'm eating."
I've recently started to take my health journey more seriously. With a family history of . . .
Love Is...
Love is patient. Love is kind... We've all heard that before, right?
