December, a month of great emotion…

It is so hard sometimes to allow my happy to shine through when I know there is so much sad for friends.  My happy seems to get swallowed up by the knowledge of their sadness. I am overcome with emotion for my friend Beverly.  We have all lost people in our lives, some have lost […]

Daddy’s Thoughts

I’ve shared stories before that my daddy left for us in a short book about his time in the Marines (1951-1953), and tonight I want to share one paragraph that just fills me with pride.  Pretty much, there isn’t anything about my daddy that hasn’t filled me with pride for the man he was. “Inchon, […]

Hippocrates and TED…

I spend a great deal of time reading about issues that affect health.  I talk to people all of the time about nutrition.  I have one friend who is great to bounce thoughts off of, and from her I’ve learned a lot–especially about the science of food.  I’ve made new friends who are interested in […]

Louis…

When I said that one of the best things about my 30th Class Reunion was seeing Louis Ricco, it was the truth.  I’ve heard that he needs help to pay for his sweet mama’s burial expenses.  I’m going to do what I can, and I encourage you to do the same.  He is a precious […]

Who Can Remain Quiet?

A couple of things about the event in Connecticut: I really appreciate all of the sweet things people are saying about the children lost in the Connecticut shooting, but why is everyone posting things just about the children?  Are the adults less valued because they weren’t cute kids?  It has really bothered me that almost […]

Uncle David, “Mr. L”, and Dialysis

I spent a lifetime in San Antonio last summer.  That sounds kind of odd, but it’s really how it feels when I think back.  My life changed in that town.  Much of the changes came from a relationship I built with my husband’s uncle, David.  Uncle David was in the nursing home when I arrived, […]

Yesterday, Kindergarten and then…LIFE

I subbed in a kindergarten class the other day, and as I looked at the sweet faces of the very tired children (on the 22nd day of school they are practically still big preschoolers), I thought about how quickly life will move for them…how quickly life has moved for me. This morning, I pored over […]

Inflammation, Leaky Gut, Autism?

When I heard the parents talking about what was happening to their kids, I paid attention. It isn’t my job (ie paying gig) to share with everyone about food, body, health, wellness information, but it is what I feel strongly about doing… giving you the opportunity to hear and see the truths about the effects of foods on […]
