Pickle Jar Test: A Novel

I'm contributing to Parkinson's Awareness Month and describing Expat Life in Mexico by offering this eBook FREE for a limited time. Download your copy at https://www.amazon.com/Pickle-Jar-Test.../dp/B088QS36Q2

Jake and Lindsay have revived their loving relationship and found peace by moving to a small beach town in México. Though the battle against Jake's bipolar disorder was long and painful, his depression and manic episodes have finally leveled out with proper treatment and a less stressful lifestyle. Lindsay and Jake are both grateful that his mental health is good and his sense of humor has returned, as it was in the early years of their marriage.

Strong and healthy from years of working as a carpenter, Jake is now in denial about the new symptoms plaguing his body. Are these annoyances simply medication side effects, or a new condition? Should he tell Lindsay or fight this battle alone? Tremors, loss of sense of smell, pain, stiffness, and other changes in Jake’s muscular body bring fear for both Lindsay and Jake. Could this be Parkinson’s disease? Obtaining a definite diagnosis becomes a challenge, and then a shock.

Can Lindsay and Jake fight this disease and keep their vows—in sickness and in health, through the ordeals that might tear them apart? Is love enough to help them endure the challenges of this new illness?

 Just Another Manic Moment: A Novel

In Sickness and In Health Novel #1

When Lindsay and Jake fell in love, it was magnetic and powerful. Jake declared that the “chemistry of love” pulled them together, that they were split-aparts, two halves of one, lucky to have found each other. Lindsay agreed, ecstatic that she had found her soulmate. When they exchanged wedding vows, they meant every word. … “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death…”

Then Jake was diagnosed with clinical depression, a major depressive disorder that stole the joy from his life. Later, periods of rage and mania changed his personality, testing his relationship with Lindsay. A phase of manic euphoria and frenzied spending forced Lindsay to take drastic measures.

Will Jake and Lindsay find peace and healing by moving to a small beach town, Sayulita, México?

A FREE Book to Bring Awareness to Mental Health Issues

 May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Taking a Mental Health Day on the Beach in Puerto Vallarta

May is Mental Health Awareness month.

 

What does this have to do with Healthy Living and Traveling in México?

I hope you will download my FREE novel to find out. I believe living in México is “good medicine” for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses. Find out more in this easy-to-read story, Just Another Manic Moment: A Novel. 

I wrote this story to bring awareness to the important issue of mental illness. As this novel shows, there is hope in the form of new tests and treatments. In addition, escaping the rat race and moving to México provides a less stressful lifestyle, aiding in wellness. Sunshine and blue sky here most of the year are proven mood-lifters, too.

Stress is a major factor in mental illness. “Just Another Manic Moment: A Novel” illustrates how reducing stress by traveling and living in México can be a healthy move.

For 5 days only, May 27 - May 31, I am offering this novel FREE on Amazon.com!

Thank you to everyone who downloads and shares my eBook. I hope you will leave a review on Amazon so others may find it, too.

Selling Our Sayulita Home, A FREE Book, Goodbye Bella

The Sale of Our Cozy Sayulita Casita Finally Closed

     After living in our cozy casita in Sayulita for almost six years, Jon and I decided to sell it and purchase a condo in Puerto Vallarta. Boy, did we get some lessons in real estate transactions!

We Enjoyed Living in Our Cozy Casita in Sayulita

Real estate sales in México take an immense amount of time and patience, more now than ever. We repeatedly asked our realtor, “Why?”, sent more requested documents, and then waited. We asked, “When?”, and waited some more. Why was our closing date being postponed?

The pandemic was blamed for paperwork delays. Hurricane Nora at the end of August created havoc, flooding, and more postponement. A very busy real estate market in Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita was often mentioned as the cause of holdups. Preparation of the bank trust, a document required for ownership of property by foreigners, dragged for weeks. And then, it was El Grito de Independencia, the Mexican Independence Day on September 16, a major holiday that lasts at least a week. The meeting to close the sale had to be rescheduled until all attorneys, realtors, the buyer, and both Jon and I were available to meet at one time for the official signing of many documents.

     Finally, on Monday, September 20, the El Grito festivities were finished. More than three months after... to continue reading, click here.

Bella, Our Sweet and Sassy Dachshund

September brought some joy, and then sorrow.

     On September 12, as we began to accept that our beloved Bella’s health was declining, I wrote the article, “Bellathe Dachshund Describes Her New Life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico”. 

     Bella has always been full of energy and spunk. Even as her body was failing, she continued to use her antics and sassy ways to make us laugh. To continue reading, click here.

 What We Do While Living in México to Battle COVID-19 Pandemic Fatigue

     COVID-19 pandemic fatigue sucks! I fight it daily—some days it drags me down. Do you find yourself wondering about your own fatigue?

     A year into the pandemic, I know many others are struggling with it, as well. The question is, how do we battle against it? Traveling is what Jon and I love and look forward to. Is it possible to travel and remain safe from the coronavirus?

     Here’s an excellent article about what COVID-19 fatigue is and how to fight it. What doctors wish patients knew about pandemic fatigue In summary, with COVID-19 fatigue, “you’re tired in your soul—emotionally, psychologically, socially, spiritually, you are just tired and not motivated,” said Dr. Lambert. “To get out of that fatigue, maintain hope that things will get better.”

How do we raise our hope? Read More
