This article explores the journey of rediscovering the joy of running and its transformative impact on both physical and emotional well-being. As I reflect on the days of running the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, I describe how my daily routine symbolized resilience and my ability to overcome life’s challenges. Years later, my approach to running has shifted, focusing on mindful breathing, relaxation, and the benefits of a nutritious diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables. This renewed perspective has reinvigorated my passion for running, sparking aspirations to put more miles on my running shoes and perhaps tackle a half marathon once again.

A simple home remedy using lemon water to ease heartburn and acid reflux, straight from my kitchen to yours.

In the beginning there was the whole orange or freshly prepared orange juice, unprocessed loaded with nutrients.  Nutrients are classified as providing the necessary nourishment for body function.  Then the orange juice evolved into refined processed unsweetened orange juice to highly refined, highly processed, sweetened, artificially colored and flavor orange drink.  Wow that's alot a junk disguised as something nutritious.

Today, we have evolved into wholesomeness, reverting back to the beginning with raw, freshly made orange juice, everyone loves it!

The power of affirmations can transform your life.  Words can increase a negative and positive reaction from within.  When you repetitively affirm a thought, you believe the thought, you feel the thought and then you become what you re-affirm.  Knowing your power to nurture and heal your body when fighting cancer is a positive step towards healing.  Positive affirmation is one of the tools I used when fighting my breast cancer.  "My light radiates," is an affirmation I used to remind myself of the power that exist within me.  Each day, I would direct the energy of light directly at my cancer cells and with positive energy I focused my intentional light at zapping the cancer.  Loving, positive affirmations will help to strengthen the body, causing you to feel more powerful.  ~~Sonia
