Nothing, but THANK YOU for asking

The questions I hate most these days are ‘What are you doing? ‘, ‘So what have you been doing lately?’, and my all time fave, ‘So what is it that YOU do?’ (that one is usually asked by people I first meet in relation to what career path I’ve chosen) What DID, DO, or WILL [...]

FRUSTRATION

For the last 3 years I have been seeing a pharmacist/consultant and my Doctor on a monthly basis to try to come up with the right ‘cocktail’ or combination of medications to help me manage my pain. It has been one of the hardest ‘tests’ of patience, and one of the most deflating experiences of [...]

I’ve been missing you……

It has been such a long time since I was here. And so many things have happened in my life since then… I hardly know where to start. Writing has always been healing for me, and I have truly missed it, but for many reasons, I had to take a break.  I am hoping that [...]

A rough start to 2011

I must say, it was bitter-sweet to say goodbye to 2010…. Some incredible things happened in the past year, but I was knocked down more than a few times as well, and for that I was relieved to end the year and start anew… It was a perfect dichotomy I guess… You can’t have one [...]
