So if you haven't already heard, I just turned 30.
..I've recently waved goodbye to my 20's, which were full of fun, fear, discovery, and a hard dose of reality.
In the past five years, I've celebrated my first wedding anniversary, a total relocation from the North to the South, the death of my dearest mom, the natural, unmedicated birth of my first child, and continued frustration with my overall health.
Am I healthy? Sure, by all conventional standards - I eat right, I exercise, I take my multivitamin. But you know what? I've come to the conclusion that we humans are much more broken that we know.
Or maybe much more broken than we're willing to admit.
Perhaps it's pride.. or maybe it's just a lack of understanding of this world God has created.
I'm not entirely sure.
I've struggled with my weight my entire life, in addition to fatigue, Keratosis Pilaris, acne, and serious sleep issues - Just to name a few things. Somewhere along the way, I told myself that these things were normal, and that I'd simply have to live with them. Maybe so.
Or.. maybe not.
This blog is dedicated to my health. Your health. The health of my family.
I believe that conventional medicine [ie: general practitioners, pediatricians, oncologists] has its beautiful and necessary place in life.. But I also know that it has its limitations, and that God has given us other wonderful ways of healing, dealing, and improving our quality of life.
You may not agree with everything you see written here. Rest assured that I would've considered myself a nut not five years ago! Some of these posts will be from direct, personal experience, and some will be me stepping out into the unknown, praying for success and God's blessings in the matter.
Come - Join me on this journey of health, happiness, and good stewardship.
