My Sister
Since we were children my sister Chelle and I have been pretty close. Although we are 4 years apart, there were times of normal separation because of our age. When I was first diagnosed she was only about 3 or 4 years old so she had no way of grasping the full extent of what […]
A Dream Vacation
Everyone has dreams, right? How big they are and how we act on them is a different story. When we are children we dream of different things than when we are adults. Since I became an adult, probably since the age of around 20, I have dreamed of going to Australia.When my son was a child we […]
Regrets???
Do you ever think about something you regret doing or not doing in life? Someone asked me if I had any regrets in my life. It took me a little time to ponder this because although I have been through so very much in my life with my health, I think I pretty much covered it all […]
This Song
Someone recently asked me if I had a special song, movie, or book that has left me with overwhelming thoughts and what it means to me. I read often and embrace every book from beginning to end and at times, I’m even sad when the book ends because I want more. There are too many […]

What is going on in this world? Every day I turn on the news and/or open my iPad, and something new is happening in the world that is so negative. Bombings, stabbings and uproars all over the world has left me and everyone else speechless and wondering why??? Why would people choose to want to die? Why […]
Crying
Everyone needs a good cry once in a while. It makes us all feel a bit better to just “let it out.” When life seems to overwhelm us, whether it be from caring for an ill child or elderly relative, a death, or just a buildup of stress, a good cry can cleanse the soul. […]
Summer Childhood Memories
Funny, while watering the flowers this early morning I was thinking of my childhood and how much I loved summer then- it was just as much as I do now. Everything about the breaking into spring followed by summer, is reflected in my thoughts today. The sound of the world coming back to life after […]
A Special Quote
When I was a teen, and I have shared this a little in my book, Everythings Okay, one of my closest friends, Sandra, was killed in a terrible car accident in Florida at the same time I was scheduled for surgery. The problem was that because of my state of mind, my parents chose to not […]
