So, I never got my period. (See last post if this is a new topic for you). People kept telling me to be patient and that it would take my body time, but I knew something was not right. My doctor agreed with me, that it definitely was abnormal. She ordered blood work and did …
The Importance of Being Authentic or Tell Your Story or Quakers and Yoga
I talk to everyone. This is something else I got from my mother. I talk to the man who works on our lobby at our 21 story office building, and I talk to people in elevators even when it makes them slightly uncomfortable. I ask real straight forward raw questions, and while I don't expect …
