I had a boss who would overthink every decision. Our office moved at the speed of molasses because of this. He had to look at every possible angle of every decision that was made.

When she learned I was in town to attend an opioid/pain conference, she smiled and said, “Oh, I  have a great pain reliever. I am drinking it right now. It’s my kratom tea. It helps…

Sleep: We need it and want it, so it’s exhausting and frustrating when it doesn’t happen. You wake up at 2:00 a.m., stare at the ceiling and toss and turn while continuously checking the clock. Please, let me go back to sleep! First, let’s cover a few of the basics. Did you drink alcohol before bed? Alcohol…

With all the negativity going on in our culture, maybe we need a little focus on positive things we can do that make us more likable. Maybe those in the media will take a few pointers from this blog. I’m tired of all the negativity and criticism I hear daily. Every once in awhile I would like…
