Healing Souls

Welcome to the healing souls blog. This is my blog that will chronicle my efforts to improve my health by improving my life style. Me: I am a forty something college educated African-American male living in our nation's capital. I was born in Philadelphia and raised in Cherry Hill, NJ (suburb of Philly). From high school I lived the party life: weed, a year lost to cocaine (smoked), booze, cigarettes and the club life. Ironically, I have always consider myself an athlete. I ran track, played football (running back) and was a decent hooper for a 5'9" wanna be 6'6" forward.

Needless to say the years have taken a toll. My knees are shot, my waistline no longer 32" (try 36") and my life is far more sedentary. On the health ailment side, I take medicine for high blood pressure and diabetes type II.

I have improved my diet (limited fast foods and more fruits and veggies); weed and coke haven't been in my life for over 15 years; and, I strive to walk 10,000 steps (5.5 miles) a day. However, I can do better (think booze and cigarettes) and I must do better. Thus, my blog.

I want to reach and connect similar souls. I want to create an on-line discussion group to provide me and others with spiritual support. If you are ready to take this journey hit me up.
