Yesterday, I braced myself before stepping foot into my dentist office. I was there for my second teeth cleaning for the year. Let me just say, investing in dental insurance in my 20’s was one of the best decisions that I made. Getting my teeth clean makes me feel better, however knowing that I need over 6 surgical extractions, fillings, and restoration with my gums it makes me depressed.




Paying Yourself With A Reality Check

in , , by Linda B Hurd, October 01, 2018
It’s October, baby! I’m excited and determined to get a lot of my goals for the months accomplished. This time last year I was counting down the days until I gave birth to my first child. I was uncomfortable with incredibly swollen feet, but I still found the energy to get out and exercise!

At this moment, I’m enjoying motherhood and being a stay at home mom. Some days I find myself under a slight depression. Yesterday, I had to give myself a pep-talk in the mirror! I was all types of frustrated and emotional.

Living with Lymphedema for the past 10 years has been life-changing. If you have no clue as to what lymphedema is I will let you know that it is a chronic swelling that occurs when there is damage or blockage of the lymph nodes. The damage or blockage can make it difficult for the lymphatic fluid to drain. Unfortunately, there is no cure for lymphedema. There are many treatment options to help manage it. I wanted to share five things with you today that I have learned throughout the years of being a lymphie.

I Told My Mama To Stop Stressing

My mama Lilly B Wiggins is one of the strongest women I know. She raised me and my younger sister and brother with little money and education, but she always did have much strength. I cannot recall a time that I have ever seen her break down in tears. Hold up, maybe once or twice, from laughing or from a touching sermon while at church, but I never have seen her cry in a time of a storm.
