I’m sure you’ve been inundated with all the emails, messages and news stories on the Coronavirus. I’m right there with you. However, since most of what we’re hearing is either telling us, directly or indirectly, “to be afraid” or to be “very concerned” or “extremely worried,” I think we also need to hear the messages that tell us to do the opposite.

Celebrating Success…#LowSugarNaturally
Today I’m excited to share a #lowsugarnaturally success story with you since we are just completing the first week of the free Sugar Pretox Challenge.

I asked her to share her story and she graciously agreed… Tell me about yourself… I am a stay-at-home mom to my five-year old daughter McKenna! My husband and I will be married for six years on May 15th! I love crafts and spending time with family and friends. Laughing as much as I can, and making others laugh too- sort of the class clown! I…
