My Black is NOT Cracking.

I'm not Aging. I'm appreciating in value!

That includes me!  I own a mirror. And yes, I talk to myself. I definitely need to do better. I will never stop trying to do better. If not for myself, for those that love and need me.  And, for those that I love. For example, I’ve said this many times, but I know I …

Everyone I’ve spoken to recently, is getting their vaccine booster shots.  Many got their shots earlier than I did, so according to recommendations, they’re due for theirs.  I’m sure I will do the same when necessary. Obviously, you need to do whatever you need to do to avoid the “Vid.”   But I have to …

I’ve mentioned this in many a post, but one of the biggest health challenges I currently face seems to be managing stress.  Although I have put myself on a restricted Don Lemon diet (no I’m not eating Don Lemon or following some Don Lemon diet plan!  I’m talking watching Don Lemon!)  I definitely need to …

No, I’m not talking about Billie Holiday or Diana Ross.  I’m talking about me!  Well, not actually singing.  Just singing praise for the almighty Blueberry. Trust me.  You do not want me to actually sing! This past weekend my girlfriend sent me a lovely photo of the blueberries she had picked from her garden over …

Recently, another family member paid a visit to the doctor’s office for a rash.  Blood work revealed slightly high blood pressure and cholesterol. Now I’m going to ask you a question.  What do you think the doctor said?  Go ahead.  I’ll wait………. We all know.  The doctor said, TAKE THIS PILL.  That’s all most of …

If you are anywhere near my age, you grew up seeing some teeth soaking in a glass jar!  It was traumatizing.  My Mom had dentures and considering she only lived to her early 40’s (and I don’t recall her EVER NOT HAVING THEM) she must have lost her teeth an extremely young age.  It could have …

Forgive my ignorance, but I had never really heard much about intermittent fasting when I unintentionally started this practice.  And for those like me who are unfamiliar, it appears that it’s not just the latest fad diet for weight loss. Strangely, as popular as it had become, I had never run across it in any …
