Episode 337

You have to take care of yourself first in order to take care of others. -Carol McKean


I’ve known Carol McKean for many years, and I’m so happy to introduce her to you.  She’s a PR superstar with her own events company, carolmckeanevents.com, and is the creator of the popular fundraising concept known as “fund-a-need.”  In this interview, Carol shares her life story, including the hard parts I didn't know about.   The story of her incredibly painful divorce is featured in the new Jan Fraser inspired life series, The Book on Love.  bookonlove.com.   Written by 40 women from the United States and around the world, the book is a fast read, filled with wisdom and the power of love.  Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Carol’s story reminds us that we may be born out of love, but our lives are far from perfect.  Says Carol:  “Fun times are easy, but when life deals you tragedy and hardship, it’s how you react to it and move forward that really matters.”   It took 7 grueling years for Carol and her husband to divorce, and during that time, she realized she was not safe in his presence and had lost herself in the relationship.  “When I sat down to write this story,  it just poured out of me in about 30 minutes, says Carol.  Many of my friends wondered why I was willing to share these details, but I believe we create connections when we share our stories.  What does she want readers to know?   “Whatever situation you are in, I promise there is hope…there is light.   The biggest lesson I had to learn was to love myself.”  #valentinesday #love #divorce #storytelling #bookonlove

Found this helpful article on Valhalla Vitality addressing enclomiphene and prostate health. I appreciate how they break down a complex topic into simple, easy-to-understand concepts. It covers both the potential effects and general safety discussions, making it an interesting and useful read.

I came across eggy car through a discussion about free online games. It's simple to understand but getting a long run isn't easy.

I needed something to play at school during free time, and Drive Mad unblocked worked well. The gameplay is simple to learn but not easy to master.

Does anyone else feel like medical costs are just a black box sometimes? I was so relieved to find https://ways2well.com/blog/what-to-expect-the-price-of-hormone-replacement-therapy-explained because it actually gave me real numbers to work with. It helped me justify the expense by showing the long-term value of preventative care. If you are serious about your health you need to see this financial breakdown.
