This is off the beaten path but I have started having a problem posting I don’t know why. I can not longer cut and paste my document from word it is not working and I am being challenged and don’t know my recourse. If anyone that reads this have any suggestions please feel free to let me know. Oh, I am not that literate and need step by step instructions if you don’t mind.
Now I am going to see if I have to type it in……
I can’t even send a copy…….

AS ALWAYS SUGGESTED PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE BEFORE STARTING ANY TYPE OF EXERCISE.
What is a balanced diet?
• Eat whole foods: Lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
• Get omega-3s: Eat fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts to help your mood.

Thank you for continuing to support me. Last post I said I would do a monthly post on mental health challenges, well there is a lot of information I want to cover with Atypical Depression Disorder, and I feel I would be doing you a dis-service by limiting it too one or even 2 part of the subject matter, So, it is a series of information I will be sharing with you this April.
Oh, I hope you had a chance to check out the web page for “Fit By Any Means in Hammond Indiana” or if you live in that area go check it out tell them Donna sent you.
I like for you to join me here on my Blog “Talking with Donna” where I will continue to provide information on mental health. Also, you can listen to my podcast also named “Talking with Donna”, where I provide meditation for stress relief or just for relaxation and although they are old (as I haven’t had a chance to record new meditation as of yet. If you haven’t already, please check it out). I can be found on these platforms: Spotify, Apple podcast, Google podcast, Overcast, Stitcher, Amazon music, Pocket cast and iHeart Radio.
