I approached today as if it were any other day...it's hard not to when you've been dealing with sick kids for 2 weeks, being run down yourself from the viruses and multiple wakings at night. I started thinking about this year...this milestone that I have reached. 1 year cancer free! Huge when you look at cancer statistics...most recurrence happens in the first year. Every...
Easter Cats So, I have this really gorgeous flame point himalayan (that would be a cat for those of you who are not ailurophiles, aka cat lovers) and I had this great (ok, stupid) idea to dress him up as an Easter Bunny to take a picture and post on here for all my DS friends. I mean what could be cuter than a cat dressed up as a bunny? hmmm, the first thing that comes to mind wo...

Ok this journal may not be for everyone, but I just have to write about it, so here we go...

I didn't know what he had to eat at the house, so I was going to call him when I got into the store. ...
Over the years I have struggled with allowing God's will with my infertility. I have knowingly had a hard time completely giving my will up to God for His because I am so afraid that His will for me does not include a biological child or pregnancy. I feel myself holding on to my will because I want it so much. In all other aspects of my life I have been able to hand over my will for His,...
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...
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...
