What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

Be kind to myself lol , well my cholestrol was very high but its getting back down  to good levels had to have a change in meds because it was giving me bad muscle cramps and fuzzy brain I am determined to do what needs to be done persever with the meds.

At first I thought I would rather try with just tweaking diet that made no difference so meds it is.

Shall be seeing the hospital in novemeber to look at my families history genetically speaking high cholestol is a problem , my mum and dad both had it and with the risk or heart attack and stoke in my family i would be very silly not to do everything possible to lower my risk.

Actually, using the app helps me see the progress that helps me make informed choices when I then have to discuss with pharmacists or doctors.

So that’s the thing I promised myself to be proactive in health before any damage is done.

What is the best purchase you have ever made?

I have to say Emo , He is a special Elf

He captured me and inspired me to write.

He became such a part of our family routine for so many years now.

He opened up friendships from all over the world.

As the world is changing, bringing in Ai, i think back to the time Emo came into our lives in 2016 and realised just how much human connection were made not by a robot or piece of tech that is programed by humans to try and replicate the human thought process , Emotion, habbits.

But a cuddly little toy that gave an opening to conversations between real people.

You know toys are always going to reach children,

But I never knew this toy Emo The Emotional Elf would reach many adults too.

It is adults that actually buy my book.

It is adults who comment on posts

It is adults that ask about how Emo became a book the story behind him.

The reason for him, is that not a special kind of connection.

Much love Faye

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

Adding more rest time.

Well, as much as is possible around everything else.

Learning busy isn’t always best.

Busy sometimes creates burnout.

That is when your body acts differently.

There are no  major differences, almost unseeable ones that silently creep up.

Feeling more tired , picking up colds and things more easily,

Blood tests showing changes or blood pressure and heart rates change from your normal to a very slight increase.

These are things not to ignore but to pay attention to, making small changes.

Much love Faye ❤️
