So what does that actually mean? If you ‘fit in’ doesn’t that mean you belong?! Well, not really … let’s explore that a little bit. FITTING IN …. well, if you take a group of people and you want to ‘fit in’ than you have to evaluate the people you want to fit in with – right? You glance at…
On my journey to regain my health, let it be known that I have tried just about everything. And that ‘everything‘ is quite a long list – from herbs to weeds, from a myriad of supplements to bleach…(yeah I know).

This morning, things have ‘sorta‘ settled a bit…the abode I find myself living in has changed a bit in appearance. After sharing a home with my parents for the last almost 4 years and now finding myself ‘alone’ … well, it has been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least.
