I haven’t written about my MS for some time now but I think today is a good time to come clean about it. I was diagnosed in March of 2008. I have been doing my best at keeping things under control with diet, exercise, physiotherapy, no alcohol since 2009, regular sleep pattern and general clean […]

A Tribute to Beautiful Beatriz
I am grieving the loss of a beautiful friend, Beatriz Zentner, who went to join the angels on Thursday of this week. When Paul and I first moved to the west coast, Beatriz was the first person I met and we bonded right away. We became instant friends. That’s no surprise as Beatriz was such […]
Covid Vaccines
Paul and I have had our first shot of the Pfizer about a month ago and are not suppose to get our second shot until July according to the BC health officials. Thankfully neither of us had any adverse reactions from the vaccine, but we have heard of people who have. People of varying ages […]
MOM
Happy Mother’s Day! This is that one unique day of the year where we reflect on how important and how special our Moms really are to us. I am blessed to have an amazing Mom. My Mom just turned 90 this past week. I celebrate the fact that I’ve lived my 60 years with her […]
Magnesium
I have posted about this mineral before but it’s always worth a refresher on the topic. Every evening in my after dinner ginger tea I add a serving of “Calm”, a powdered, unflavored magnesium supplement. The ginger tea is healthy in and of it’s self but adding a scoop of magnesium powder ups the nutritional […]
COCONUT WATER
Water is the elixir of life. Our bodies need it to survive, animals need it, plants need it, grass needs it. Every living thing needs water for survival. Our bodies are mostly water….the brain, heart, lungs, muscles, kidneys, skin are all high in water. Even our cells are mostly water. Regular day to day body […]
MCT Oil
I am almost one week into my Ketogenic diet. It’s going well. It’s in the early stages so I have a long way to go but in the first 5 days, I have dropped 3 pounds. And the nice thing about it is I’ve been eating well, no deprivation, no hunger, no cravings. This is […]
Keto Diet
True confessions…… As we continue to stay home, following our health officials advice on avoiding Covid 19, many of us have added a few pounds to the midsection. With home cooked comfort foods and baked bread and sweets, our favorite carbohydrate snacks etc., it’s been pretty darn easy to fill in our idle time with […]
HAPPY EASTER!
This is my favorite time of year. It’s a time of renewal. The buds are coming out on the trees, the spring flowers are up in the garden, the animals and birds are giving birth to their babies. The sun is warming up the air. The days are longer. It’s just a great time for […]
Compliments!
Are you good at giving or getting compliments? Giving compliments to someone really makes their day. You must know that by how you feel when someone compliments you on your new haircut or they like your outfit etc. A compliment is a polite expression of praise or admiration, as defined in the dictionary. Now that […]
