Leah glances at her ticket again and confirms this is the section where her seat is located. She climbs the bleachers for the homecoming football game. Apparently, they put all medical graduates in the nosebleed seats. While her black boots are cute, the leather soles aren’t practical for climbing cement steps. Glancing at the end …
I have grown to love my naturally curly hair in the last twenty years and now it appears to be changing.
Announcement I have an announcement ….. I am NOT perfect. Are you surprised? I am sure this will be a BIG surprise for our children as I may have attempted to present myself as perfect while they grew. The sad truth is that I struggle every day to not swear, not lose my temper, and not doubt myself or my abilities. Another …
Six years ago, I my feet were swelling, I was cold all the time, and I could sleep twenty-four hours a day every day. I had also joined Weight Watchers with some friends a year earlier and with no cheating lost only twenty pounds. They both had lost more than thirty pounds. I could not …

It’s the start of the holiday season and for many, including me, this year will look very different than past years. Even with the changes and practically non-existent traveling, I still have many reasons …
