Staying healthy is a challenge, especially for those of us no longer in our 20's. Avoiding medical emergencies such as diabetes, heart failure and even cancer can be minimized by watching our weight and what we eat and making sure we get enough sleep - or in other words, by changing our life style to one where we take better care of ourselves.
I've been reading lately about the importance of sleep. I did not realize that cancer loves it when we don't get enough sleep (Yikes, when I think of those sleepless nights when I knew I was going to lose my job!). Cancer also loves sugar and hates oxygen, so lowering our sugar intake and exercising (which increases oxygen in our bodies) are great ways to keep ourselves healthy and looking great, too!
I have a saying that I tell my kids all the time: You cannot avoid life.
There are challenges and obstacles in life even when we do everything we are supposed to do for a life style that is conducive to good health and well being.
By being mindful of what we eat, how much sleep we get, and the quality of people we hang out with (positive people help our immune system) can make the difference between unnecessary medical emergencies and hospital stays that we could have avoided.
Did I mention that sharing time with positive people has a strong impact on our immune system, too? Well, it was worth repeating.
Take care,
Kay

Blogger Bosom Buddies (or the B3s)
I recently joined up with three other bloggers who are interested in promoting their businesses and books, just like I am. We ended up calling ourselves the "Blogger Bosom Buddies," or as I like to refer to us "The B3s."
Below is information on their blogs, books and businesses. I'd love for you to support their efforts and share their blogs, books, and anything else about them with others who have a like-minded interest.
Yvette's blog has been geared toward love, but mostly for singles / dating. Her next project is "The Love Project" which will have weekly exercises designed at giving and receiving love (starting with love of self). The hope from this project is to write another book, similar to "The Happiness Project."
Rebecca's blog is about community and noticing joy in ordinary things or creating "altered spaces." Currently Rebecca is in a Susan Beck coaching program and is looking at growing her coaching business through the use of her blog.
Shirley has been using her blog as a way of connecting and getting inspired by others who think alike. In the past she had done a lot of brainstorming via email with friends and is now sharing via her blog. She describes her blog as "random yippity-yap stories & ponderings & discoveries."
