Last January, I turned 50.

Everything seemed pretty much the same, no big changes.

Fast forward this past September…and whew!

My body began acting like a foreigner had invaded and completely taken over.

Sleepless nights, anxiety out of nowhere, weird aches and pangs.

Good morning, sweet Rise and Shine friends!

It has been a minute since we have met.

A lot has happened in the world over the last few weeks, and to be honest, I have not been in a great place.

Logging off my social media, again, has helped.

Images upon images, words upon words, opinions upon opinions….my heart, body, brain and spirit became weary.

For a few nights I was restless. I even had a panic attack, which I have not had one of those in a long time.

Just keeping it real here.
