Insights into Becoming Totally Fit for Life! I appreciate your patience over the past week and a half. It’s been grueling.

Original post from November of 2014 on www.totallyfit4life.net My family and I have moved so much that I could probably write a book about it.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed that most Christmases start around Thanksgiving and finally end around Valentine’s Day. Why?

Most adults fondly remember Halloween as a fun time to dress up in costumes of all sorts and go from door to door begging for sweet treats. But, if you ask them today what Halloween is, some will say the night before All Saint’s Day, while others don’t honestly know. So what is Halloween?
