    Sunday, March 16, 2008

    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...

  • Were You Loved???

    Tuesday, March 25, 2008

    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.

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

  • Keep on trying

    Wednesday, November 12, 2008 | A Positive story

    I walked today I could only walk for 1/4 mile and pushed myself to do that.  But, I figure it is a start and if I do that everyday and add more it will begin to help me.  Hope that maybe tonight I can walk it again.
