Show time! Back stage at Dollywood!

Disappointment. Sometimes it’s just a reality. Part of our lives. Today, I’m disappointed. I never hurt my back. I work to strengthen it and stay stretched. But life got busy, I dropped the ball and then I tweaked my back. Big time. Like can’t really walk… just in time for us to go to the beach and Dollywood. I haven’t been to the beach in two years and all I can do is sit on the shore and watch my kids do the things I usually join in on. Today, I CHOOSE to be thankful that I made it down to the beach. Yesterday, it didn’t seem possible. I had planned wave surfing with the kids, jogging on the beach, sunset weight workouts to the sound of the waves and bike riding. But, here I sit. Working on my perspective, deep breathing, slowing down, reading a book and watching my kids have a ball. I wish things were better but they could be soooooooo much worse. Today, I choose gratefulness.

Another beautiful setting for some bible study and walking! In the middle of a tour, but taking a few days at the beach along the way.

Devotions by the riverside. Getting in some grounding and deep breathing while I’m at it. Soaking up some vitamin D and peace and tranquility. Great way to start the day! Then off for some exercise.

I’ve been quiet but busy! I’m continuing to work on PhD, my next book, revamping my online classes (self paced rather than live!), and…. Working on my herbal, healthy, all natural skincare products! I LOVE doing this. Especially knowing I’m putting stuff with amazing ingredients on my skin. Sharing a few of my favorites!

It’s a great start! These things cause inflammation and are so bad for your health.

Its goal to stop using high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, BHA/BHT and titanium dioxide in its branded products by the end of 2025. https://www.fox10tv.com/2025/09/18/tyson-foods-plans-remove-high-fructose-corn-syrup-sucralose-more-its-products/

Check out some of the ingredients that make a food ultra processed. Some of them may surprise you! Yes, even organic products can be ultra processed and NOT good for you. Yes, sometimes our “health foods” are ultra processed and contain ingredients that make us sick. No…. There is NOTHING natural about “natural flavors”. Simple swaps and reading those ingredient lists can make a big difference in your health, sleep, and mental status.
