I have been detoxing my mind, body, and spirit by the use of Lifestyle Medicine. In my life several heart breaking traumas one after the other which left me in a state of paralysis psychologically. I literally lost my way; my sense of self worth dropped to low levels. My personal dreams were like ropes of sand hardly able to grasp. I functioned through life, worked, and attended church but the ember of my inner most being was barely a flicker.

In my healing process I have encountered beautiful souls. People who said less and still their presence and care or concern meant the world.

The COVID-19 lockdown was a lonely time of isolation being a new mom with two small babies was not easy. I learned so much about myself and my resilience and capacity to love. I reconnected with community by growing a patio garden and a Community pantry on my patio to share food with members of my community. A note left behind expressing gratitude for the free groceries that helped a woman and her children meant a lot.

Anytime I find an obstacle instantly reroute and keep forward. My internal message these days is progressive movements only.

They say when life gives you lemons make lemonade. I say make body scrubs and exfoliate your skin. Wink! wink!
