Is our mental health and mental longevity as important as our physical health and physical longevity? Ummm YEP! I bought into making the time for physical health after I ran into illness from being inactive. I’m starting to realize that I’ve got to demand QUIET, aloneness and much needed me time. I’m seeing that if I don’t, I’m not able to show up as a whole person. #meditation #alonetime #momneed...

A slab leak has turned our home into a construction zone. Three teens doing home school at the dining room table, one wild and bored four year old, a work from home executive hubby on calls all day and the loudest damn dog who barks constantly at the patient construction workers who are in and out of the house many times per day.
