I enjoy reading historical fiction, biographies, murder mysteries, traveling, walking, and eating all types of foods.
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
I start my day with spiritual meditations and include daily walking in my activities.

I go for walks, talk to friends and travel. I have specifically chosen my place of residence based upon the proximity of parks and bodies of water. I find both calming and relaxing.
