One balanced day.

April 9, 2012 – 5:58 am

Last Friday was a holiday for me from work. Unfortunately, it was not a holiday for my husband. Fortunately, this allowed me to spend some much-needed time on various areas of my own life, and I ended up having a very balanced day according to the suggested standards of The Healthy Mind Platter model. It’s read more »

For the month of March, I participated in the March Photo A Day Challenge. It was a lot of fun, though it was often difficult for me to remember to post a photo every single day — several days I had to play catch-up! At any rate, as promised, here is a collection of all read more »

Two weeks ago, I decided I was going to try an approach to weight-loss referred to as The Anti Diet.
