Surgery Day
Five months ago I had to get up really early to tear off more of my skin for a second time. The Hibiclens soap I was given a week and a half earlier was to be used two times; half the bottle at a time. I think that was the worst part of the process…

Life’s Turns and Twists
I fully intended on writing about my day of surgery and that may still happen later today. However my morning was abruptly altered by a phone call… Growing up my idea of a career was being a wife and mother. The thoughts floating in my mind never had me as a career minded woman. Although…

Thoughts of Frustration
This afternoon they were all stomped into submission. Another weekend of being stomped on literally by bullies had been quite tiresome. This is what happens when you give them half an inch then they want to dictate to you the terms of your submission. Today though, was a good day for a practice session. It…

Simply called “I Heard The Bells.” This moving film was broadcast with no commercials. This was also the day my parents…

A Week
For nearly three weeks my family was dealing with different emotions. Not only were we missing a family member during Thanksgiving, that person was also in seclusion from his family. That can be a very scary thing to deal with on so many levels on both sides of the coin. Today marks a week since…

The Timing of Pain…
While preparing for the past weekend familiar pains have resurfaced. Back in October I had a shot in my wrist. It took a good while for that shot to finally dissolve. Thankfully. I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. I am grateful I was able to do both Cantata’s and didn’t realize how…
