I want to wish everyone a Happy Leap Day. Our Misfit veggies and fruit came the other day. Enjoy getting our produce right to the door. Its fresh and organic – It’s a subscription box of misfit fruits and vegetables making it easy and affordable for all to eat healthy. They are dedicated to breaking the cycle of food waste by helping delicious food find a good home. Your home. I wrote an article a while back when I was living in Florida several years ago regarding co-ops. Back in the day organic foods were very scarce and very few super markets carried organic and if they did it was very high priced, so Dan and I joined a co-op. I find this is better for I get it delivered straight to the do

I wrote an article on October 8, 2015 regarding How important our environment is to a healthy clean life. I once had a wise man say; you cannot help what is out in the world, but you can take care of what is in your home. I took that to heart and this is why I am so passionate about educating others how important our water, food, products we use and our will being is. The best way to stop any chronic disease is awareness and the first step to stop it is prevention. Our environment plays a big part when it comes to illness, so we need to look at it and educate our minds for change. Five years ago, I bought Heckle our turtle, and when we returned to the states, I thought should I take him

Hello from Dan and Sherry, This is to a beginning of a healthy life. After much soul searching and managing cancer for nine years, Dan and I decided to not only share our personal stories with you; but also challenge our lifestyle with videos of our everyday journey. Its not just about us, its about hope and inspiration. We may have a chronic disease, but that does not mean that we have to fear it. No one knows when the end is, for we could die of many natural things. We could die in a hurricane, earth quake, or car accident. You get the drift; this is not to be negative; I just wanted to point out the need to enjoy life no matter what. If you do not already have a plan for the future, make

Focusing on the good (blessings) in your life lightens the heart, lift's the spirit and calms the anxious mind. By simply shifting your thoughts from worry over what you can't change and to feeling grateful for what you have can alter your experience of the entire world. Plus, once you count your blessings they have a way of multiplying. Just think as you look more and more at the good around you, you can't help see more of it. This is a challenge, like living clean, but I'm up to it- Are you???

HEALTHY LIVING My goal in doing these personal videos of Dan and I are for inspiration and hope. When I was healing from cancer, I enjoyed hearing inspirational stories of others that were going through an autoimmune disease and how they were treating it naturally. This video is showing how we exercise daily and how important it is to healing one’s body of stress and other factors. Dan and I try to make it fun by walking a mile and a half in the morning and a mile and a half in the afternoon, by walking on a tread mill or going out in nature and walking around the neighborhood or even to the store a little less than a mile. In the month coming we are going to pick an area in Virginia that we

For Christmas my daughter gave me this gift book, Count Your Blessings.  I would love to share with you the messages and lessons.  Dan and I have been doing this journal of gratitude, and it has been a blessing. I feel its real important to have gratitude when healing from disease and to live a happy life.  Blessings come to all and we need to believe that the best is coming. WHAT IS A TRUE BLESSING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FOR SOME TIME?

Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. ​ With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It even affects our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused. A simple ten o

STROLLING/WALKING For the past seven years, Dan and I have not owned a car and so we walk. I love to exercise by going out in nature and stroll at my own pace. It’s like taking care of two things in one. When we lived in Mexico, the challenge was walking on cobblestones every day. The road was very uneven and it was hard on our feet. Then moving to Virginia, the challenge now is the steep hills. Walking down them is not that difficult, but coming back up them – well! Specially when we have groceries, I give Dan and I a pat on the shoulder for being in our sixties and still being able to do this. We have made it part of our daily routine.

SMILE, LAUGH, GIGGLE As I sit and conjure my thoughts, a question comes to mind. If you could have your cake and eat it too--would you? There are two sides to every coin, as there are to every story. But I can say our journey shared over these next pages shows an experience many of us share. There are dark moments and moments of inspiration. There is love, along with sheer terror. Tears stain these pages, showing the reviving energy of great joy. Hope and education are what I am trying to provide. In the end, what is life without them? This writing is for finding inspiration when it is lost. Dan and I are neither a doctor, nor have the experience of one, but we are both survivors of cancer w
