I have this issue, what is it? How do I keep what I have physically fit? Our minds seem to have to work harder. What did I come in her for? I can’t remember names as well as I use to, and it’s harder to recall things. Then what when all is said and done? These two sessions will help us listen to our bodies and to our minds. The more we listen, the healthier we will be. Here is your chance to listen.
