  • Were You Loved???

    Tuesday, March 25, 2008

    Sometimes in the self-discovery that allows for personal growth and acceptance, it is equally important to recall a moment where we know we were loved ... recalling it provides the "balance" that is needed in our lives and promotes the healing of our hearts.
    As a chubby 13 or 14-year-old, finding stylish clothes that fit was a daunting task. One day, my mother told my father, "...

    Hey All

    Sunday, June 1, 2008

    Hey All

Late Friday I was calling a friend and I got a feeling to call another I haven't talk to and she hadn't came to group for awhile so I call her and we talk for a long time. I can't say what we talk about but I can say God lead me to talk to her and help her and I did. Mom came up on Monday and she had a book about fasting so on Tuesday night after...

  • 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...

  • One year on DS...my story

    Sunday, October 26, 2008

    Between September 2006 and September 2007, I gained a total of 71.2 pounds.  I was an athlete growing up and I rebelled completely from the idea of exerc...

  • Starting to get excited....

    Thursday, May 28, 2009 | A Positive story

    Well ladies, I haven't been this excited in months!  I really am starting to believe I am quite possibly pg.  My temp has not fallen yet and I am now 12 dpo.  Last month at this time, it had already fallen significantly.  If it stays raised through tomorrow and Saturday, I will almost certainly get my first BFP ever.  DH and I are cautiously optimistic at this point.&...
