  • New Group

    Saturday, April 26, 2008 | An Educational story

     I decided to do something positive with my mood.  I started a group for diabetics who also struggle with eating disorders.  If you know of anyone who can benefit, direct them to the following link:

  • Home Educating

    Monday, October 13, 2008 | An Educational story

    I'm writing this here to remind myself to be gentle with myself about "getting school done."  For those of you who don't know my family home educates.  I've been way to hard on myself lately for not getting our usual school activities done.  While we don't "unschool" I found these reminders to be good during a time when I'm having a difficult...

  • Not So Quick $$$

    Wednesday, November 26, 2008 | An Educational story

    I won't tell you I make $400 an hour or anything, but here are some sites I've tried that actually do give you cash or prizes for taking surveys and such.  I find it only takes a few minutes of my time, and once every couple of months I can get a check for a few dollars, or a gift  card...

  • PTSD fantasy or the real reality!

    Friday, June 5, 2009 | An Educational story

    I have attended a rape and sexual assult group thinking if I do this I could stop the cycle before it happened to my girls. I relaxed as I was told I needed to do. I let my guard down, as I was told by DR. and proffessionals to do. I trusted everyone and saw a little ray of hope. A false since of life being ok. I let my guard down for maybe a few days.

  • The Little Sleep-Book review

    Monday, October 12, 2009 | An Educational story

    I had written this review for Talk About Sleep a few months back. For various reasons it hasn't been published in the newsletter yet, but the boards are slow so I thought I would pre-view my book review here.
