Lights Out

…the gravity of the situation hit me. I had almost died. My heart and breathing stopped.

Diet Guru

Only December 31st, I went on a diet. I have already lost 10lbs. And the amazing thing, I have not been hungry! I think I will write a book… Well, perhaps not since the target audience would be only me. It’s kind of a limited publishing market. How did I do it? I gave up […]

Moo Year

Let me say up front, that I do not make New Year’s resolutions. I think trying to change your behavior because of an arbitrary date is doomed to failure.
