How did you fare Being an Active Participant in Life Challenge in Week 3? For me, this last week, it’s been very up and down – but that is life! I started the week full of good intentions and made my plan then life took over with unexpected medical appointments for Mike and another not-so-nice reaction to the Shingles vaccination for me, which saw me laid up for two days.

How comfortable are you with who you are – as a person, with your body, with your place in the world? At 66 I feel pretty good about myself but it wasn’t always this way.

Being comfortable with yourself allows you the freedom to live life your way without holding yourself back. Accepting all that you are will lead you to live your best life and will allow you to be free and your true authentic self. – Camille Kostek Oh this is one that I ..read more
