As we head into Memorial Day, I want to share with you one of the most powerful stories I have done in my career as a storyteller. I am from a military family, and have always had tremendous admiration and respect for the service men, women, and families, that truly give more than we could ever imagine to defend our rights. I know that there is a tremendous amount of discourse among us as a country, but it is stories like these and heroes like the men and women who so bravely sacrifice their lives for our freedoms that I try and keep at the forefront of my mind today and, truthfully, most days. Without these sacrifices, there would be no arguing because our freedoms wouldn't exist. This Memorial Day I plan on taking some time to honor those who sacrificed so much for so many. I hope you'll do the same. Lucia

There is however, one app I recently found that I want to share called Moody that has helped me in both mind and body acceptance on my way to reviving my happiness and wellbeing before summer. This app is mainly for women, (although if you are male you can track your moods too:) Moody asks you to put in some key info related to your menstrual cycle that can help offer some clarity on why you may be feeling extra down, or maybe like your body has changed overnight. I know these mysteries of emotionally fluctuations, sadness, and body aches seemed like they were my fault, or I was doing something wrong for so many years when in realty the answer is that our hormones are at work each month contributing to these changes. For me, just acknowledging and staying on top of this has helped me understand, Im not just in a bad mood or sad, it's really just my hormones. Knowing that, and knowing that these changes will pass has helped me change my story and be less MOODY regardless of what time of month it is. So if you're looking to track your moods and body more carefully for a deeper understanding and to help you on your journey to happy and well, check out the app HERE! We all have ups and down, but knowing the story behind it can lead to greater happiness, peace and wellbeing as we ride those waves. Happy Seeking! Lucia
