Let Your Voice Out

I’m a beginner singer/songwriter. Zero musical background or possibility, but it just sorta… happened.  One mega-huge-feeling baby step at a time. Because…it feels good to do it. I enjoy it.

Does Your Body Hate to Exercise?

We are meant to move.  Movement of our bodies pumps the lymphatic system for us. The lymphatic system is critical in clearing out all the junk and waste products from the body. Imagine if you never took the garbage out from the kitchen? It’d pile up and start to stink up your whole house!  Well,…
