FOOD / FAITH / FAMILY
I played that game for a long time. Numbers on the scale. Numbers on the measuring tape. Numbers on my clothes. Numbers in my food. The calories. The carbs. The sugars. Counting all day long... And yet none of those numbers told the story of who I am, what my character is like, how dedicated [...]
I've only just recently processed the Event that put my husband in a wheelchair, then led him to a little scooter, then to crutches for 8 weeks and eventually to complete healing and the ability to not only walk but to run again. Sometimes, it feels like only a story until I look down and see the question mark shaped scar on his leg. He says it feels like it happened ages ago.

I applied the product as soon as I opened the box, and my face is now smooth like butter! Finally a "Vichy Lover" thanks to the LiftActive Collagen Specialist! [...]
It's 8:30 am, and I'm surprisingly not running behind this morning. I've already worked out, showered, had my coffee, and I'm entering into mirror time.
