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, "...
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.

We had talked about sedatives with her bu...

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...
To some of you this may not seem incredible, but for some like me it has made me a true believer in my heavenly father, not that I wasn't already. I believe that God presented me with this journey at a time in my life where I felt as though I was in a very deep dark place. Twenty three years ago I married a man 15 years my senior, he was good to me for the fisrt 12 years of that ma...
