The election will be over in a few weeks. Everyone seems to be on edge, and many things get put "on hold" until we know who is going to be our next President. Election season can be a whirlwind of emotions and stress. Prioritizing self-care is critical to maintain your emotional well-being during th...
My assistant and I have a system in place for how we get our newsletters done. I write the blog, find the photos I want to use, get the quote, and then put it into a form. I wrote this amazing blog about how my community came together in Hurricane Milton. I put the information in the form, sent my a...
When I moved to Florida, I had much to learn about hurricanes. Thankfully, my first husband and most of his family survived Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which led to major changes in building codes and informed the public when and where hurricanes might hit. I moved to Florida in 1995, but experienced ...
Hurricane Helene just blew by Florida, wreaking havoc here and throughout multiple states: 100+ deaths and counting. Thankfully, we live about 25 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so we went through the hurricane just fine. However, I glanced at Facebook and realized how lucky we were. One of my friend...
I went to a Hypnosis Conference about ten years ago when I bumped into a Chinese medicine physician. I was telling her about a young lady I worked with who was having phantom pains in her abdomen when she was having sex. After visiting multiple doctors and undergoing countless MRIs, X-rays, and CAT ...
It's been about 2.5 years since I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I have had to make many drastic changes in my diet, including avoiding gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol, and nightshades (peppers). The dietary changes were some of the most straightforward changes I had to make! The lifesty...
Whenever I tell someone I'm a hypnotist, someone always says, "I don't think I can be hypnotized." To which I reply, "Congratulations! You just hypnotized yourself to believe you can't be hypnotized!" And then I get that puzzled look because most people have no idea they go in and out of trance all ...
I've been the President of my condo association for over a year and a half. I never thought I'd go from touring worldwide as a comedian to condo association President. Still, here I am living the dream, doing my best to protect my property investment and everyone else's. 97% of my residents are abso...
As Doug and I are preparing to move into our new condo, we had to make a serious decision: what should we do with the floor? We had the flooring removed due to a mold/mildew problem. A few weeks ago, we went to a big box floor and tile place and chose a tile that would work with our quirky furniture...
Doug and I moved from a split-level condo into a 2nd-floor condo two years ago. I was having trouble navigating the constant steps of living in a split-level condo, not knowing my thyroid was in crisis mode as I had not yet been diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. We intended for this condo t...
Simone Biles has long been a household name in gymnasticsā€”a synonym for excellence, strength, and unrivaled talent. However, her journey through the Tokyo Olympics added another layer to her legacy: that of a mental health advocate and an emblem of resilience. As we celebrate her stunning comeback a...
While I've made great strides these past two years fighting Hashimoto's, I still need to catch up to where I want to be healthwise. I began researching other doctors to get another opinion and found a chiropractor in town who also has Hashimoto's. A few weeks ago, I started his program, which includ...
