A Certified Geriatric Care Manager who has had a specialty practice in Adult and Elder Care. I am proud to call myself a registered nurse, a mother, an advocate for those who have that need, a proponent of living a healthy lifestyle, a blogger, and most of all a woman who is lucky enough to be here sharing all of this with you on the World Wide Web.

I enjoy writing, research, tweeting, sharing and learning from various views / disciplines, and thoughts. I am still in awe of the power and empowerment that the Internet provides us.

My thoughts and ideas are my own. I am an ADN and bachelors prepared nurse who is happy to share what I have learned and continue to grow in the learning process. My information is to never take the place of your own common sense and the advice of your health care practitioner or physician. Always get a health check up and council from your doctor before starting any supplementation / medication or in starting a new regimen. What I write about is what I am passionate about and it may encompass western medicine along with cutting edge information with varied input from nontraditional views and theories. The methods and teachings I review may work for my clients and myself but only your family physician and your good sense should determine what is best for you.

I write about many topics of interest that include the areas of my expertise and topics I have researched and studied over the years. I remain a forever student and appreciate the disciplines of science and healthcare. I was talked out of going for a degree in nutrition but often seek out that information; you will see many articles on this and other health related topics of interest.

With humility and gratitude, I enter the world of blogging. Your comments, input, and guest writing will help make this blog better and better with your diverse input. Remember this phrase, "There is not one of us who can think as well as all of us". Peace be to you and your family... Namaste'
