The Secret Mental Health Benefits of Indoor Plants
It was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make, but I had no other choice. My kitten was given a new home, and I felt so irresponsible. "A pet is for life!" I heard ringing in the back of my eardrum from the animal rights protest of a school auditorium, a distant memory from old teenage years. I knew the morals of it, really I did. According to the ASPCA around 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year, but my kitten wouldn't be coming with me. Perhaps it was due to my partner's bad credit that I had no choice but to take the first property that I was offered. I would probably never know the exact reason, but in my own mind, it should be illegal to discriminate against tenants with pets. In either case, there was no two ways around it, and I found myself with the predicament of having to choose between keeping my pet and homelessness. I was grateful to say that she went to a good friend of mine, a nurse in fact.

Rolling into Health
Living longer, healthier and happier is at the top of everyone's list these days, including my own. The pandemic lockdowns have left so many of us overweight and unfit like we have never been before. Gyms closed, hiking trails closed, schools closed, and local parks closed, we were left with literally no options for working out other than our own living rooms. Boredom set in early and the snacks flowed as we watched tigers eat husbands and housewives dine in Paris. The only exercise we got was doing fork lifts and fridge walks as we packed on the pounds. We cooked, we drank and we ate our way through 2020.

So Apparently I had a Stroke This Year.
A couple weeks ago, a day after having two MRIs--one on my brain and one on my cervical spine--my phone woke me up at around 11:00 am with a dreaded "no caller ID" call. I consider this "dreaded" because both times I've gotten unexpected wake-up calls from police departments, that is what has shown up on the screen. Hoping against hope, I answered the phone. It was my neurologist. Still groggy from interrupted sleep, I didn't think anything of it. We exchanged the normal pleasantries, and then he got down to the point. He said, "The MRI yesterday shows signs of a stroke on the right side of your brain."

Fasting to Heal Ulcers
I began fasting to help heal my ulcer. You want the entire story? I think it might actually go all the way back to 2001. I was in the Army at the time and I injured my knee. The doctor prescribed some ibuprofen. I followed the doctor’s advice and took the anti-inflammatory drug, but it always made my stomach feel weird. I even took it with food as directed. Now, understand that I was only 23 at that time. I’ve learned a lot about the human body and health since 2001.

How I healed myself during the Pandemic

Redirect That Stress
Anxiety has been a major player in my life for years. As a kid, I remember being afraid that my parents would forget to pick me up after school. Had they ever done that? NOPE. But my anxiety was telling me that I should be worried about it. In college I was worried that I would be putting in loads of hard work and not amount to anything. Has this been the case? Again, not at all. And all my life people would tell me that exercise will help. If you're stressed, just go for a run. Just a side note about me, I loathe running. Not only does it hurt my back but it just isn't fun. Like, not at all.
