Feeling Paralysed With Worry
Do you ever find yourself, perhaps with a cup of tea or coffee in hand some time early in the morning, just sitting there staring out into space? Outwardly you may appear relaxed and serene but on the inside you are dealing with a whirlwind of endless to-dos, whens and hows. Then, when you finally come to yourself you realise that you're already running late and could have done two of the tasks that were on your mind in the time you've wasted thinking about it; you're already failing.

5 Women Weight Training Myths Debunked
It seems there is a never-ending supply of advice when it comes to working out and losing weight. I am no better myself; I am obsessed with learning everything I can in regards to exercise regimes, breakthrough supplements, and weight-loss suggestions. Like all advice, you are bound to come across an article or two spewing information that is totally false. While we are usually able to sort through the bologna, sometimes our BS detectors fail us, leaving us to believe something we shouldn’t. For example, “Don’t run, it’s bad for your knees,” “Only do cardio to lose weight,” and the famous, “Lifting weights will only bulk you up.” While I can’t debunk all the myths, here are five strength training rumors that we have all heard, may have believed, but are completely untrue.

Quietly Screaming Help
It is never easy to admit when you need help but admittance is the first step to find people to help you with whatever the problem is; it is as simple as a passing look in someone's direction or just coming out and saying there’s a problem you need help with. It won’t make you less of a person to open up about what is bothering you; the strongest thing a person can do is admit they are weak in some areas, you admitting this can cause others to open up and admit it too. There are so many places you can go for help that it makes no sense for anyone to feel like they are alone and have no one they can talk to about any and everything. I can attest to feeling I have no one to talk to about certain things, and most of the time I try to fix what ever it is that I know needs fixing on my own, no matter how big it gets or how out of control it gets. We all have things that we need to get some help for and we all have things that no matter what goes on we will try to keep to ourselves.

Mindfulness and Meditation . Top Story - September 2017.
Interest in mindfulness meditation, yoga, and related practices have skyrocketed throughout the Western world. Although meditation has been documented to have its origins in the Indian Vedas (1500 BCE), the oldest scripts of Hinduism, some argue that the practice could have existed as far back as 2600 BCE, where the Hindu deity Shiva is portrayed practicing Tantric Yoga (below). Only recently, with the help of medical technology, have scientists been able to discover the effects of meditation far beyond its psychological and spiritual background. We are now beginning to understand how this ancient practice effects humans and the mind on a biological level.

The Life of Reilly
Reilly is my son. He is 6 years old, autistic, super cute and non-verbal. I started blogging about life with Reilly in April 2016 for Autism Awareness Month. After writing a couple of posts and finding it incredibly cathartic, I decided it was something I would continue. I would write about our frustrations and jubilations, I'd be honest and maybe even educate.
