When you spend everyday in your pajamas, in bed, in pain, eating the same things, with no hope of change, not able to see people, not able to entertain yourself with books, movies, or music…. life can get miserable, right? But the truth is: It’s good to be...

Alas, I was ready to be done with school for the day. But for you, I will visit it again for a few minutes. 😉 I am home schooled. I have no idea how I would have made it this past two years otherwise. It is simply impossible. If you remember from the About page, I got...

I am not a Tin Man. I am also not and old lady (no offense, I really respect old ladies). I am fifteen years old, and before I got sick I loved to run, hike, knit, and write. Joint pain can be really annoying- and, well, painful. Plus really frustrating for whoever...

Parsnips, I have noticed, tend to be one of the last things people can eat. I don’t know why… I mean, what makes them that much different from carrots? Who knows?! Thankfully there are many ways to cook them and eat them, which is wonderful when you can...

A few weeks ago I smilingly, and yet with tears, told God this: “When I prayed for transparency, I didn’t picture this!” You see, God says to live in the light. To not hide our sins. We were not meant to try to fight these battles alone. And I have...

Usually people find out that they have Lyme disease before they realize that toxic black mold is a problem. Often, people treat Lyme for years but they are not aware of the issue of mold that often accompanies it. And while they are on the Lyme treatments, they do...

In my last post, I gave some tips on how to practically beautify your mask use, but I never explained exactly what it was, or how helpful it was, or what my experiences have been with it! I think that is a huge omission on my part. 🙂 Anti-Pollution masks were...
