A few minutes ago, for a moment I thought I was coming down with something.
I felt woozy and sick to my stomach. My husband has a bad cold. I thought it got me too.
Then I realized I was coming OFF of something.

While looking for a 5 minute song to hoop-and-heat by today (It’s freezing again here in DC!), I scrolled past a number of faves from a group I was introduced to last summer.
One of my favorite moments from Burning Man 2009 was arriving at the Opulent Temple to the spectacular madness of Infected Mushroom. (Warning [...]

I’ve been working on squeezing extra bits of physical activity into my days to combat my disease. If you’re trying to do the same, here’s an idea:
