Blood Results: HASHIMOTO’S

I've said it before, but our own intuition really is our greatest guide and it continues to amaze me. Normally I try to post Fridays, but I needed to take the past few days to process the news. I was emotional, relieved, angry and also overwhelmed at what this meant going forward. It's been a...

Healthy vs Unhealthy Relationships

Today I'm sharing a couple visuals to easily show the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships.
