A New Leaf: Weeks 18 & 19

Two weeks have run into each other. The good reason behind this combination is that at two weeks since my last reporting, I am, again, pain and headache-free! There’s not much to report, except that adherence to my protocols yields marvelous results, woohoo! (Except I had a headache this morning ever so slight and I […]

I was only 14 at the time, but her clouds and flowers resonated somewhere deep within, and I feel I share […]
