Our Pets
Funny, I have been reading so many Facebook posts about people and their pets. There are hundreds of pictures, all kinds of poses, costumes, cuddling, trips with them and so much more. They are all so happy and loved, including our little man Ponch. They make us smile when we are happy, smile when we […]
Dr Templeton
Dr. Templeton was a special person and big supporter of everything in my life. We met at CHOP when I was about 17 years old when Dr. Koop, my former surgeon was leaving CHOP to become surgeon general of the United States. Since he was retiring from surgery and I needed yet another, he introduced me […]
A New Procedure
I recently had something done that is still considered experimental in this country. I have two small tears in my right shoulder and a full tear in my left. They happened a year apart and not from anything very strenuous I was doing for either one. I spent a year trying everything to avoid surgery […]
Orlando
I know that it has been a bit of time since the Orlando incident but I cannot stop thinking about how that week unfolded. First a young up and coming singer is gunned down after her concert and then 50 innocent people were killed in a nightclub about a night after. Of course it triggered […]
Nutritional Adjustment
I have been saying, like some of you probably have been, “I need to drop a few pounds.” I’ve been playing with this notion for a long while with a few setbacks in the past year- having thyroid cancer and surgery, then another bowel obstruction. All of these things play a role in diet for me and I […]
Another Hospital Stay
Yes, you read it correctly, another hospital stay. A few years ago, when I left the surgeons office after a week-long hospital stay, the doctor told me I pretty much have become a chronic case. I can get a bowel obstruction at any time, anywhere, and there is nothing I can do to change this […]
The Summer is Here… Finally
We were teased with little bits and pieces, then a month of almost all rain and if it did not rain it was cold and cloudy, but through it all we survived! Then what happens? Of course a heat wave. It came on with a vengeance but it still felt good. The sun is shining, […]
A New Friend
I received an email for a new author. I was private messaged on FB by someone on my author page asking if I could help answer a few questions by this new author, Shadel. Of course I said yes, any help we can give each other out there to all new authors is a blessing […]
Muhamad Ali
What an amazing life this man had! I remember as a child listening to him rant and rave about how wonderful he was! Then there were his rhymes- amazing! It all seemed so unbelievable to me that someone could be so confident in themselves and truly believed in all that he did. Ali was a […]
Spring Has Arrived
The approach of the spring season is upon us with blooming flowers, the grass becoming a rich green, and the hum of the hummingbirds. At my house, when I say the “hum”, I mean it. If you stand outside and just listen, there are so many hummingbirds you can hear them swooshing back and forth […]
