Diabetes is undoubtedly a very big part of your life. Just as it is of mine. And you can blame a lot of stuff on it. Sometimes you have to blame more on it than you’re willing to admit. If you’re anything like me, people have asked you why you don’t blame MORE stuff on […]
Sure, food is a big part of losing weight. But it’s not the only part. This is such an important realization to make, if nothing else to stop yourself from buying into the next fad diet with some super formula that will make you loose weight faster than lightning. That’s nothing more than excellent PR […]

I truly love to travel, it’s one of the biggest passions in my life. To get to see, feel, sense, experience and smell the smells of a new place, is sometimes what keeps me going through a rough patch. I try to travel as often as I can, meaning as often as money allows me […]
“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion” So why stress yourself to a goal you think you need and want?
