Reviewing Insurance Coverage (boring!)

I don't know about you, but I can procrastinate on reviewing my insurance cover from now until forever.  It's tedious and takes time away from what I really like doing - just hanging out!  So today, I am making myself a promise that I will go out on the internet and get new quotes on my car insurance.  I think I'll have to narrow down what that means, too.  I will get bids from three (3) insurance companies that I've heard good things about over the last few years. There, a narrow and easy to accomplish goal.  I'll be back...

I'm back after looking at my car insurance and with only one insurance company - a huge one that is supposed to give the best rates.  So much for that goal of three quotes, but wait until you hear what I learned...

While my policy is about $100 more a year, I get much better coverage than the other company would offer.  This is probably due to my being with my current insurance company for so many years.  Plus, they have a local office where I know the people who help me with questions.  I'm staying put for now.   

That was fast and painless - gosh, why didn't I do this a long time ago?  

Now I know I have the insurance coverage I want with my car at a price I am comfortable with.  I could have let go of that nagging voice in my head a long time ago - that voice that rags on me when I procrastinate.  I'm sure you have a voice of your own, too.  Get rid of it like I did just now. 

So what's your excuse?  Seriously, get out there and do some comparisons on your insurance.  I have friends who reduced their car insurance by 40% when they did a comparison quote.  Maybe you can, too, or maybe you'll be like me and find out that you are happy with your coverage.   Either way, you'll know for sure you have the coverage you want and need.  Spend the time.  It's worth it. 

Take care,

Getting and staying strong

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,
