There is so much convicting data in the newly-published California research, titled Paths...
It’s no secret that I struggle with breast health, going through a terrifying phase of breast biopsies to rule out a cancer diagnosis in 2019. And because I have extremely dense breast tissue, along with being 10% Ashkenazi Jewish and having a paternal grandmother who passed away from breast cancer, I’m in the unsettling camp...
This current school season has ushered in so many activities and sports events, I actually cannot believe how busy we’ve been given all of this Covid mess! Truly thankful, though, for the opportunity and privilege to keep my kiddos active with social groups and sports teams. They need it so badly. What a gift! Of...
