Been down with a pretty bad bout of flu the past couple of weeks and it got pretty bad around the time I had a back-to-back sessions in schools.

It gets really difficult to teach when you're coughing constantly and are in real danger of losing your voice.

In a few cases, I had to cut down on explanations because there was simply no way of getting more than a few sentences out before the coughing began.

Now that I'm better, I'm going to be even more mindful than ever about taking care of my health and my vocals. Since I am dependent on speaking to earn an income, it is imperative that I be able to speak.

So, in the coming months, more rest, more water, less unhealthy food.

Need to be back in top form!
