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...

In two weeks, I'm getting married. Michelle and I are going to Toronto, Canada and joining our lives in marriage. I could have never imagined one year ago, that I would even vaguely know happiness---and never could have forseen falling deeply in love and wanting to share the rest of my life with anyone. Michelle is not just anyone; she is my partner in this life....3 Recommendations14 Comments -

It never ceases to amaze me how life can change so dramatically in seemingly the blink of an eye. This past year, I have been walking this long and torturous journey--sometimes alone by choice, but most of the time, I've had tremendous friends, family, and people I've never met from my online support systems, send me love, support, and constant validation that one ...1 Recommendation15 Comments -

Dear Catherine,
I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but I'm going to tell you again, because I have to be sure that nothing is left unsaid between the two of us.

My sister and my nephew had birthdays this month, so I decided to get the family together for dinner and celebrating. Me! I did this! Go figure! I've been to Madison to visit my friend who lives there--and even went bowling a few weeks ago. Look at me: I'm a social butterfly! It's getting easier to leave home. In June, I'm heading to Toronto for...2 Recommendations12 Comments

I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.

For the fist time in five years I wore a pair of jeans, now I know for most people this isn't a big deal...but for me it is HUGE!! Before surgery I wouldn't be caught dead in jeans because at a size 28 I just didn't believe I had any business wearing them...I am now a 24 and things are looking a lot different to me. Things are still confusing when s...2 Recommendations8 Comments
