Woops (whups? Uh-oh)! I’ve been so Distracted
Hey y’all! I’m so sorry I haven’t been here.

So here are some images with what’s been going on. At the end of October, I released…
It’s my Birthday!

Author Life: Physical Transformation
A few of you might know that in June 2021, I realized my health was deteriorating. My clothes were necessarily getting bigger and I weighed as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my first kid. Even though I spent all of 2020 and 2021 walking almost 7 days a week,…
