Getting old isn’t for sissies. So I figure I might as well laugh about it—and maybe share a laugh with you. If you are squeamish, or if you are terribly opposed to possible TMI, you might want to stop reading here. I used to think that the mammogram machine was the most barbaric test known to man—or woman really. It is especially awful … [Read more...]
My Love Affair with Lavender
Lavender—if there was such a thing as having a plant spirit, lavender would be mine. I have always thrived in places that lavender thrives. When I trained as an aromatherapist my love for lavender was solidified. I remember being moved to tears as I read The Chemistry of Essential Oils by David G. Williams while studying for my aromatherapy … [Read more...]

Ehler’s-Danlos Awareness Month
May is Ehlers-Danlos Awareness Month which got me thinking about when we were first given the diagnosis and how far we come since that day. We had made our way through the Bone & Joint Clinic, waving to doctors and nurses who knew us by name, to see a new specialist. After a quick introduction our new doctor instructed, “Touch you palms … [Read more...]

Letting Go Takes Love
I often find inspiration when I attend my writers group here in Middle Tennessee. Some time in the last year our leader Lona Renee Fraser, author of Habakkuk's Hope, shared a little poem entitled Letting Go Takes Love with us. It struck me at the time, and even more so when I cleaned up my desk and found it tucked away. I just had to share … [Read more...]
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Literally Crappy Day
Several years ago I was having one of those days in which a Charlie Brown dark cloud seemed to be literally hanging over my head. It was so bad that it could have rivaled Alexander’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, was going my way. I was drowning in self-pity and thoroughly … [Read more...]
But Our Heart Remembers
February. It's a hard month. It's typically cold, grey and dreary. The sky weeps for days and my own heart lurches and sputters each morning. I attempt to kick start it, but historically I'm already running on empty in February. This February I wasn't 100% sure why I was gobbled up by melancholy each day. Or why hurtful words and actions that … [Read more...]
Could You Be Convicted of Loving Your Spouse?
If you were accused of loving your spouse, could you be convicted in a court of law based on the evidence? Is there proof beyond a reasonable doubt or preponderance of the evidence that could convince a jury? Is there direct evidence that supports the truth that you love your spouse?

i Cuimhne (in Memory)
Earlier in December I saw a vague post that alerted me that Dr. Helena Carlson from Lewis & Clark College had passed away. I wanted to hope it was inaccurate, although I knew she had been ailing for some time. Today I set about searching the internet for clues and found my answer. The very quirky, outspoken and brilliant professor who lead my … [Read more...]

I ended the Winter 30 Day Blogging Challenge with the blog post Lessons Learned 30 Days of Blogging.
