  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    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...

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
