This page is simply a place for me to host files that link to my blog – Journey to a Healthier Me. The blog is a 5+ year accounting of my day-to-day adventures in losing 110 pounds, getting healthy and active and finding a way to be healthier in all areas of my life. Take a peek into my life as I work on my physical, spiritual, financial, emotional, vocational and intellectual health. You’re free to explore this page or my blog… or you can be taken back to my design stuff.
