  • FOREST WALK

    Friday, June 6, 2008 | An Inspiring story

     
    This forest is awesome.  It is cool and a little dark where we walk -  the sun filters through above - it is magical.
    The trees wrapping around one another as they grow.  I would like to live in this forest.  I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
    It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too.  I wish the deer...

    Monday, March 17, 2008

    I finally contacted the person at the hospital that makes all the decisions on what happens, and asked her about support groups for parents that have lost their children. She said it was funny that I was bringing that up b/c they have just decided to do just that and had someone in training to be able to be head of the support group and she would keep my name and number so that if they need someo...

  • The Death Of My Mom

    Monday, May 12, 2008

    Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life"
    Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

    Friday, March 7, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Ok, I meant to write this sooner, but I just got around to it. My procrastination sucks sometimes. Anyhow, last Sunday my daughter got invited to my friends daughter's birthday party. It was at an ice rink and they did bumper cars on ice. It was so neat. I have never seen anything like that before.  Needless to say the kids had a blast, and even some of the adults. Hee hee. Yes, I t...

    Tuesday, February 26, 2008 | A Positive story

    I am feeling more optimistic today than I have in awhile. I went back to the RE on Sunday and then today. I have 8 good follies total. I have 4 on each side and they are measuring 16-17 each. My lining is 9.6 and everything looks good US-wise today. I am still waiting to hear about my estrogen but it did jump from 75 to 375 from Thurs to Sun so I think that is good. The nurse told me to come back...

    Wednesday, September 16, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    Im in tears right now, I have to share this and you all are the only ones who will understand how powerful this is. I finally got some strength to start cleaning out my closet where so many of Shannon's things are. My clothes also are just stacked so high because I always gave her so many of my things. I found a place to donate my things that go right to the people who need them. I have been ...
