A little over a week ago, I lost my voice due to a virus. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to talk. Sometimes having a change in your voice is a sign of deeper issues. I have become a firm believer in the energetics of our being. The properties of energy, and the way in which it is redistributed in physical, chemical, or biological processes amazes me.

Beat Cold and Flu Season
It's the simple things that beat cold and flu. The key is to do these things well through consistency. I am at the latter part of a virus that has gone through my family. There's coughing, congestion, sore throats, losing your voice, green goop coming out of my son's eyes, and even feeling sick to your stomach (which my husband had).
