I ran across this little notebook of his. I started going through it and find this…

I have been told on several occasions that I ought to ”write a book” about our lives. I am not beyond sharing our story I just don’t want the ”wrong” attention. You have people who are always going to be the skeptic, the non-believer, the supporter, etc…well I…

Yesterday was a roller coaster. The morning started like any other Fire Dept coffee, Peter Thomas Roth patches, shilajit honey sticks. My niece came over early since she was going with me and Dusty to my appointments. I made them cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then took a shower and got ready.

My dream … what I remember is us going somewhere out to eat or having fun somewhere. You know how it is when you have a dream but can’t exactly remember all parts just bits and pieces. Anyway, while everyone was inside I go outside for some reason and…
There is a place local to me called Krew Nutrition. They carry healthy drinks that have collagen in them. The owner, get this, is 18 years old. Good for her. She’s a go-getter. I purchased every flavor she offered. We have been drinking one each morning. I think it’s a franchise, but don’t hold me to it. Anyway, today’s selection was Watermelon Sugar. I think James took Rocket Fuel with him. I just thought I’d…
