  • Journal Entry for March 13, 2008

    Thursday, March 13, 2008

    I had two doctors’ appointments this week (Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th). 
    My doctor’s appointment on Tuesday was with a gastriologist in Toronto. I wasn't expecting to get too much out of the appointment because I have a fear of needles and she hasn't recommended any test that doesn't involve needles. We had talked about sedatives with her bu...

  • 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...

  • inspirational poem

    Monday, July 27, 2009

    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...

  • Affirmation for October 15, 2009: Joan Lunden

    Thursday, October 15, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.
    ~Joan Lunden
    Have a great Thursday.
