Livin' with Fibromyalgia

It's that time of the year again. For the past 3 years, We have been bringing women together for day to focus on themselves in a group setting. This is year is not any different and we are so excited about coming together again this year. We hope that all participants with be able to relax, refuel and be rejuvenated along with making new connections that will last a lifetime. The participants will have an opportunity to connect with like minded women who want to see each other excel and every area of their lives. MIND. BODY. SOUL. Hopefully you will plan to join us for our 4th Annual Women's Wellness Conference . We encourage you to invite your "Best Friend" and come out and be a part. *Photos 8/2018, Bryant,Arkansas Much Love, Nora "Self-Care is Vital to Purpose"

A freebie....Gift developed just for you. This is the first of many gifts for you our readers. I have worked to develop a quick and easy self-care activity tracker. This activity tracker is undated and can be reproduced to meet your needs. We want you to use this as you begin to prepare for the holiday season and the new year. Make sure that you do not forget to plan wisely with your time. Hopefully this tracker will help you to gain some insight on how you are using your time as well as how to incorporate "me time" in to your daily schedule.

Recently I began to struggle more in my health, so I have decided to pay closer attention to my diet. I have added several new  key ingredients that I have found to have very great benefits to decreasing inflammation as well as helping to relax and provide energy. I was also told at  my most recent visit that I was once a again vitamin D deficient and I am currently on the highest dosage of vitamin D taking one time per week. This new recipe that I would like to share. Turmeric Energy Boost 1 knot of fresh ginger root (peeled) 1/4 cup of lemon 1/2 teaspoon of honey 1/4 teaspoon of ginger (I used one capsule-recommended daily dosage) 1 cup of 100% white grape juice ( original recipe called for coconut water) add some ice cubes Blend all ingredients together and drink makes one serving.

2013 has come and gone...our family as been through many changes/challenges during this year but we never lost our "Hope"   We kept the faith and God kept us....although everything may not be in place as we desire or just how we want them to be: we must remember that God has the final say....Everyday I am gaining new strength through him to take the next step in living a victorious life....I am more than a conquer through him that gives a peace that surpasses all understanding... A few months ago, I had a major surgery and continue to struggle in my physical body, but with God all things are possible. On a day to day basis, I am able to get things done that I need to because of the strength that I get from him above...I appreciate God for always taking care of our family and giving us what we need.....  In the next few months, I am looking forward to better things to happen and will share the blessings of God with you to try to keep you encouraged as well as myself....
