I’ve been hearing more about younger generations getting shingles whereas before this was much more of a concern for later age. I totally understand the guilt you feel. I feel it too, and I also feel better knowing we’re not alone. I relate on the exercising a lot effort, and in addition to that I think I do a good job of eating healthy, but I’ve learned it’s stress management and a regular sleep cycle that contribute most to our immunity. We haven’t failed, we just need to continue figuring out what works best of our lifestyles! Hope you’re feeling better, Em.

Thank you, Amy, and ditto! Not only have you showed us that it is possible to bring beauty into our environments and our lives, you are an example of courage and generosity! Hope you are getting some well deserved rest!

Ah, that’s rough, and really hard to take a step back from our ambitions but truly –> NOTHING is worth the expense of our health. Take care of yourself, Sarahbeth!

Stress is absolutely a major factor in a lot of the ailments we suffer, and if not the cause, definitely a complicator. It plays a bigger role than we are usually aware of, you’re right!

Love you very much Kat, thank you.
