If Ever There Was A Time For Change ~ Now May Be That Time

At "If Ever" our goal is to explore ways to relax and balance our mind and body. Some may be through tips and experiences others have already found to be very helpful.
"No two snowflakes are the same." With each of us our journey will differ.

Metaphorically, lighthouses represent navigation through life's challenges and difficult times. They provide a sense of direction, safety, and hope. Lighthouses also symbolize the importance of staying on course, making informed decisions, and finding our way during darkness or uncertainty.
A Glimpse Into One Of My Many Health Related Journeys
In 1995 I became very ill and it was 2 years before I received a diagnosis. During those 2 years I suffered from unforgiving pain, allergic reactions to food, bowel issues, brain fog, depression, loss of socializing with friends, along with various other health issues.
