Category: Health & Wellness

For me, health and wellness are intertwined and include physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This category includes posts about acute illness or injury, my quest for a positive mindset, ramblings on my diet or my emotional health, and other such things related to creating a healthier “whole” self.

About Just Frances

Just Frances is a silly and pointless website maintained by me, Frances Ryan. I am a quirky runner, writer, thinker, drinker, and researcher. I am also a daughter, sister, aunty, friend, and widow. But mostly, I am just Frances.

I blog about my life, including my travels and adventures, my experiences with PKD and ITP, my life as a young(ish) widow, and my life in general, really. Learn more about the topics I write about here.
