Sorry I've been AWOL for the past few months....dealing with chronic pain is not for the faint-hearted! Hopefully on the mend now. Fingers crossed. How has everyone been, dealing with this wild summer? Hopefully some cooler weather (yes, I love the cold) won't be too far off. Don't forget to carve out some "you" time for yourself: you know if you don't, nobody will do it for you!

“It’s the small things — like being told that I’m ‘making things out to be worse than they are’ or that I’m ‘not being positive enough’ — that can hurt more than my illness.”

During this time of stress worldwide as we impotently watch what's going on in Ukraine, remember to practice self-care. It's perfectly ok to check out for a while. The world is going to keep spinning regardless. But YOU have to take care of YOU. So do it. Hugs.

I've FINALLY reached this stage! Sure wasn't easy, but definitely worth the peace of mind. 💝

There comes a time in life...

And so we hurtle into another new month. Hope you're feeling well, and the cold isn't bothering you too much. Nothing like bundling up with a good movie and a cup of hot tea!

Don't light yourself on fire
just to keep others warm.

Hope everyone has survived the major holidays.....only New Year's Eve to go, (whoopee) and then we're on to a brand new year.
I sincerely hope 2022 will be better than 2021. Let's work on turning our minds and bodies toward renewed health, in whatever form that may take.

For those of you who receive our monthly newsletter, January's newsletter is full of good info relating to physical, mental and emotional health. Let's make 2022 work FOR us, not AGAINST us.

Onward, FM Warriors!

Hi, everyone, so sorry for the extended absence from this page.. I've been battling serious IBS symptoms, which have knocked me for a loop. I'm actively working to get it under control with the help of qualified dietitians and my doctor, but it's been a beast.

On another note, with the holidays coming up, BE KIND to yourselves! You don't have to be the one to host Thanksgiving dinner. You don't have to go nuts shopping (either in stores or online). Keep It Simple. The holidays are not supposed to be about crass commercialism and running up your credit card balances! I'm making Christmas cookies for the kids and grandkids. I'll decorate them and have fun making them. And that's it. If they don't like it, too bad. I'm not Santa. I'm not the Grinch either, but there's a limit to what we with chronic diseases can do. I repeat: Keep It Simple. A heartfelt holiday card to your loved ones with a personalized message from you means the world to loved ones. Be kind to yourself, too!
