Menopause is a deeply personal transition—one that every woman will experience, yet many feel unprepared for. It is more than a physical shift; it is emotional, spiritual, and often isolating. The changes can be confusing, even overwhelming, and too often, they are met with silence.Nourishment plays a powerful role—not just in easing symptoms, but in affirming self-care. Choosing what supports us, physically and emotionally, is an act of empowerment. It is a way of saying: I deserve to feel well. I deserve to be seen. Education is the bridge. When we learn together and support one another, we rewrite the story of menopause—from something endured in silence to something embraced with strength and wisdom. Recently, an evening event was held at the Harbaugh-Thomas Library, with over twenty women attending as Rebecca Speelman, Ed.D., a certified holistic nutritionist, shared “Menopause and Nutrition: It’s the One Thing No One Talks About…Until Now”.

Well, I hit a Lyme pothole in my journey to better health. There used to be tons of mold and Lyme potholes, like a road littered with land mines, every single day, no matter what road I took. I even changed lanes, changed zip codes, changed vehicles, and yet they were relentless. They would sometimes […]
Exercise, physical activity, exertion, manual labor…whatever you call it, I just have not been able to make it happen. Well, let’s just say, my body loudly and unapologetically tells me “NO, it ain’t gonna happen.” My mind may think it is possible, but the setbacks of bedridden hours and days have simply not been worth […]
I have a new FB page name I wanted to share with everyone. It just came to me the other day…”Breaking the Mold to Beat Lyme.” It will also become the title of my future book! I will still have my “Inspired By Lyme” website and FB presence, but I am going to have both […]
This morning is one of those days where I just need to take it slow. My muscles and joints ache and feel arthritic. However, I have had enough good days recently to know that it will improve if I force myself to get up and move around…even though it may be sloth-slow. If this is […]
