Neck Pain, The Power of Social Media, and Physical Therapy!
Earlier this year I posted a photo on Facebook sharing details on some weird neck pain I was experiencing. I tend to hold all of my stress in my neck and shoulders which leads to moments of excruciating pain and feeling uncomfortable doing the most basic things. Luckily, I had a lot of amazing people reach out in the comments, messages, and emails with tips and suggestions on how to relieve the pain. One of those people happened to be the owner of Athletity Physical Therapy, Shari.

My Birthday Wish Came True!
When we arrived at the warehouse it was quiet, I guess I had been so used to going into these mattress stores with 5-10 guys ready to pounce and that’s what I was expecting. I was wrong. Ben was there along with some candy for the kids, water and beer for the adults, and his mattresses.

Ben encouraged us to lay on them as we would at home and to get comfortable.
Spending Intentional Time With My Daughter
As my daughter has gotten older I’ve noticed that we are very similar and we share similar love languages. The biggest one we both hold is Quality Time. I just want to spend uninterrupted time with the people in my life, and when people put what they are doing on hold to focus on me I feel more loved.
