Shhhh, It's a Big Secret

I've been sharing this information in other ways and decided to do it in a central location. "the works," like my life, has been languishing in a manner of speaking. Since I was poisoned by pesticides in the mid- 1980s at work, too many years were spent attempting at regaining health. I may never return to my former super-healthy state due to aging alone, but I am working at it.

Ever since young adulthood, my life's purpose was silently lingering in the background. For the last few years my purpose has been slowly creeping forward, and not surprisingly, in an area of lifelong interest. I am in school to fulfill my destiny, but that will be discussed more fully on yet another blog of mine. For now, I will tackle another area of lifelong interest, one that also plays a role in my future - health.
