Relieve Stress in Five Minutes!

What is stress? Normal levels of stress can be motivating; however, too much as a product of our fast-paced society, can be damaging. Stress causes inflammation (our body’s immune response), and is associated with many health conditions…

It’s dark outside but I know its morning, because I hear the weary stamp of Mam’s tightly booted feet, on the bare boards of our rickety staircase. She is nearing the end of her fourth pregnancy and her swollen feet and ankles must, at all costs evade the prying eyes of the midwife. As I wait to be carried downstairs into the warmth of our sparse kitchen, I marvel at the feathery pattern Jack Frost…
