It's Funny because,
I was standing, in a line up, at the doctors, office. I was talking to a woman who had just charged her way up, a herculean flight of stairs, and was now huffing and puffing, anxiously trying to regain her breath.

Working Out to Work It Out
This past January, I set a New Year's Resolution of adopting an exercise program. What set my resolution apart from most is that it had an exciting twist. I wanted to get fit so that I could enjoy a romantic beach vacation with my partner. Last autumn, my long-time boyfriend and I booked a two week getaway to an elegant resort in the Dominican Republic. After achieving success in both of our careers, my partner and I became first time home owners. Unfortunately, the combination of household duties, full time work and overtime work began to put a strain on our relationship. We realized we no longer had a work-life balance. Our seemingly opposite schedules left no time for family, friends or each other. After multiple heart-to-heart conversations, we prioritized this holiday out of a need for rest and recommitment to shared values.

The Demon Dementia
Dementia. We all have heard of it and it's vile course to rob the brain of its clarity and memories. It can also lead to physical deterioration in it's progression. It causes the brain to slow and eventually stop functioning, which means triggers that are sent to parts of the body to feel pain, sensations on the skin, loss of muscle control and so much more. A person with Dementia can forget to eat, how to groom, proper hygiene and how to basically maintain simple everyday functions that we just do and sometimes often take for granted.

The Mind of A Cancer Survivor
I do believe we say, most days truly are good. Most days I feel like the me I have always been. I can go out in public, with zero insecurity about standing out or looking pathetically obvious that cancer has affected me. The Gratitude to be alive, and positive energy thrives inside me and I bebop through life adventures.

A Pulmonary Fibrosis Caregiver’s Journey
November’s National Caregivers Month presents an opportunity for caregivers – or as I like to say, “care partners” – to share our stories and empower those who advocate for the well-being of their loved ones. Today, I am sharing my story as a pulmonary fibrosis (PF) caregiver and Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) Ambassador to bring awareness of the early warning signs of PF and above all, instill faith in caregivers and families navigating difficult diagnoses.
