The protein "bread" everyone is talking about!

Anxiety and fear…two words that pop into my world more than I would probably like them to.  With what is going on in the world right now, I figured it would be a good time to bring these feelings into discussion.  The uncertainty, lack of routine, and what is to be the new normal has triggered some of the qualities in one another that we often don’t acknowledge.  For me, its trying to dig deep within myself to keep the strength I have gained from many years of therapy and work within myself present on a daily basis.     From a young age, I was taught that anxiety and fear of the unknown are to be a part of my...

What ignites your soul?  What on this earth or off this earth gives your entire being peace, comfort, and calm?  If we all knew this answer, I believe our world would be a different place.   A few month ago I went to go see a famous medium to help me work through some things that I knew only a higher power could do.  Now, I know not everyone believes in this and that is fine, but it is something I knew my soul needed.  I have had vivid dreams of my Poppie ever since the day he passed away.  Some of them were messages he wanted me to give to my Nonnie, others were just me watching him, crying,...
