Build Bone Density In 10 Minutes

First OsteoStrong Session

Build bone density in 10 minutes is a statement that sounds a bit too good to be true? After being diagnosed with osteoporosis a few months back, I began looking into the medication and treatment my doctor was recommending. As I read about the side effects, I became very apprehensive about moving forward with the treatment. I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place being forced to choose between doing nothing and allowing my bones to deteriorate even more or move forward with medication that could cause my jawbone to rot. I definitely don’t like the though of my jaws rotting! Thankfully, my husband Keith reminded me of this new bone density building method that a friend of his founded called OsteoStrong. Another trusted friend, Dr Omar Hamada, purchased the Brentwood, TN OsteoStrong franchise as he has become a total believer in this new method of building bone density. We trust Dr Omada’s medical opinion as he is a wise man who does extensive research in cutting edge medical treatments. The video below shows how simple the exercises are to do in 10 minutes each week. It really is quite easy and I don’t even break a sweat!

Osteoporosis Surprise

I recently went for my yearly physical and received some disappointing news from my doctor. Being diagnosed with Osteoporosis was certainly a surprise that I don’t completely understand yet. I’ve decided to do a video journal to post here on my website for those interested in following my journey.

A Little Home Refresh

Painting, Purging, Cleaning

paint-117599__180

Well I’m finally back!!!  

These past few months have been extremely busy.  Besides doing my normal duties… working with our artists,  cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc., being a wife, a mother and a grandmother are at the top of my list !!!  A few months back my husband and I decided it was time to do a little home refresh by painting our house and we wanted to do it ourselves, not only do ourselves but on a budget.   If you have ever painted your house you know it’s not just about putting that paint on those walls.  There’s prep work (lots of it), then the painting and after that the clean up (lots of it), then you have to put that room back together again!!!  It sounds so easy, right???  Not if you’re going to purge and clean every little thing!  So we decided that we needed to have a garage sale, not so easy but fun.  Then we posted things on Craigs List, then consignment shops and finally donation centers.  My favorite is Thrift Smart in Nashville.  

So we’re finally getting back to normal, well except that I’m still going through boxes of photos and not to mention I have yet to tackle My beads and jewelry making supplies. YIKES!!!! I’d better hurry! I just realized I need to prepare for my upcoming 2dangle shows!!!!!!  Oh, and my painting supplies!!!  I still have to paint the picture for our kitchen wall… stay tuned;).

But, I’ve been away too long so I am back;)
