forgiveness

February 7, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

Over my lifetime, I am fully aware that I have done things or said things I wish I hadn’t. I have directly hurt people and I have indirectly hurt people. I have not behaved in a way that I was always proud of. I have not been as eloquent with my words when the bottom […]

Fat Travel

February 3, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

I have been reading so many articles either written by bloggers or from sad Facebook posts about an awful encounter on an airplane. Recently on Facebook there was a post from a nurse who was flying and an older extremely thin woman who was seated between the couple. As the video ran, the hate spewed […]

My Muse Comes From the Dangdest places!!

January 29, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

I can go weeks without thinking of something to write about, but for some reason this week I am full of more useless information!! I work with all men. I realize that they don’t pay attention to things like women do and the layout of this building isn’t the greatest. The shop bathroom contains the […]

Joy? or no?

January 28, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

I am stubborn! This may come as a shock to you, but I am!! I am also a slow learner!! Some lessons have taken me over 40 years to sink into my thick skull!! For instance, I need to apologize to Mike when I do something that he doesn’t appreciate. I don’t like to tell […]

Skimming….

January 25, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

⚠️ if you are going to start this post, read to the end before you start hating on me!! I’ve had it!! Too many people are only reading headlines or blips! They are skimming the truth and speed reading the facts and it’s making me insane!! More than that they repost partial truths causing the […]

Walking out….

January 23, 2019.Reading time 8 minutes.

I have long debated addressing this rather fragile topic, but then I thought that maybe someone else could benefit. Besides, it gnaws at me until I write it down!! I will qualify this post of “walking out” though because it is a different thing if you walk away from someone who has either abused you, […]

Wednesday Mornings

January 9, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

I go to a women’s Bible study at my church on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 a.m. I think that I have been going for almost five years, but knowing how time gets away from me, I am not sure. I love this group and I love each of the ladies in this group. When I […]

FMD support

January 8, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

I found a FaceBook group called Let’s Chat About FMD a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe it would be an informative group since there is not a tremendous amount of information on this disease and the symptoms are different for many people. I have said before that the disease that gets the most money […]

New Year, No New ME

January 3, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

I was going through my Facebook Memories and ran across my New Year’s post from 2017. Certainly that was a year of complete introspection because February 14, 2017 would take me to Cleveland Clinic for a surgery I shouldn’t have survived. New Year’s 2017 found me in a place of sheer appreciation for the life […]

Dad…..peace

December 28, 2018.Reading time 9 minutes.

I took my Dad home to Kilspendie Kirk in Kilspendis Scotland on Sunday, September 30th, a journey that is now complete. It is no accident that everything that has happened up to this point, either in my life, or in my grief was bringing me full circle even if I didn’t know it at the […]
