Yesterday I got the halo off of my foot. All in all, the pain wasn’t so bad as I thought. My friend Dan, had given me a good visual to do when the pins were being taken off. The visual was to say thank you to the pins for supporting my ankle during this time of healing. The doctor had to use pliers to cut the pins so the structure could be removed and then the pins were taken out. (more…)

Starting & Re-igniting the Fire
Have you ever been on a camping trip and needed to start a fire? Did you know that there is a specific way to ignite the fire so it is able to grow? On my first trip many years ago to the out doors, I thought it was just getting a bunch of logs together and setting them on fire. But as I watched someone with more experience than I methodically put the logs in the form of a tepee with space in between each log I was amazed. One of the most important things she told me is the fire must have room to breathe,” you must approach this with intelligence and respect, you cannot smother it or it will not grow and the match that ignites that fire will die.” (more…) -
Remodeling Our Nation
Have you ever done a remodeling job in your house? Remember the experience and the frustration?

As you live in the dust and the mess of the debris (if you have not been smart enough to move out) you start to question your sanity and “what were you thinking!” (more…)

Feeling Vulnerable
With less than a week until my contraption comes off my foot, and feeling cocooned in my home for 5 weeks, I decided to go out to lunch today with my son. As he was about to step out the door, he saw a flash of light and seconds later a roaring thunder that sounded like a bomb. I had never heard lightning strike so loud. Our hearts were racing, we got scared out of our wits. Sparky, my Labrador’s legs were shaking and we decided to stay in. Needless to say, my laptop computer got fried to a crisp, even though it was grounded. The external drive connected to it also got fried.(Good thing I also have this desktop) (more…) -
