Book Club Dolls--this month we get a twofer. Did your heart just beat faster? Another local author, and friend, wrote two books on diabetes. One on derailing the disease and the other, a cookbook.

Healthy lifestyle circles me like Australian sharks. Since I choose exercise as often as I would choose diving with sharp toothed sea creatures, this can be an irritant. With every move, or non move, I am reminded to eat right, exercise, breathe deeply, and tend to mind, body, spirit connection. I'd like to say cancer… Continue reading Yoga With Open-Toed Shoes…
