  • Learnings from the Coat

    Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Positive story

      Look out gang i'm on an inspired push to journal now.  So i thought i'd first write some  things that my outlandishly standoutish wild coat has taught me.  See my journal entry 10/17 for story behind the Coat!  This is the coat that brings me great joy whenever I put it on or have a new friend put it on.
    First the coat is colorful and draws some attention, a...

  • The Threshold of 50

    Saturday, May 17, 2008

    As I sit here at my computer wide awake and contemplating how my life has changed so much in a year a deep sense of sadness fills the depths of me. I struggle daily with pain that to me is beyond bearable at times. My gait has changed due to the pain in my legs. A year ago I danced at my daughter’s wedding; now hating to admit it but reality check in mind...I could not dance today if I had ...

  • The Choice to Live

    Wednesday, August 27, 2008 | A Positive story

    I am learning that too much information may not be such a good thing for my emotional well being.
    I have always wanted to be right on top of things, I will research a subject endlessly to learn all that I can about it. Lately I have been over-saturating my brain with information about MSA and I am finding that right now I want to stop with all the information.
    Instead of worrying about all t...

  • my new and improved mom..

    Wednesday, September 10, 2008 | A Positive story

    My wonderful mother is amazing. In April, if someone would have said she would be here for Fall, I would have bet my life against it... bad bet.  She is so much better she is a miracle. She is a result of the power of prayer and the power of not listening to doctors.
    She no longer uses oxygen, at any time.  She looks like she's 10 years younger.  She has lost weight, but looks o...

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    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...
