My eyes slowly open. I’m in a hospital bed. My husband asleep uncomfortably in the recliner to the right of me. I still have my long blond hair. All my pain is so raw, so wrong, so ugly. I struggle out of bed surrounded by attached and tangled wires. I wheel my IV pole over […]
Walk in My Shoes
You just have to stay positive…said the person who isn’t having to walk in your shoes. I can’t count how many times we’ve heard that phrase since I got sick. It was fine at first but got old very fast. Let me put it another way, if life gives me lemons, please don’t tell me […]
Take Time to Water Your Grass
The grass is always greener on the other side. Then when we hop on over to that new, different, better other side; we realize the grass was pretty nice where we were. My childhood into adulthood best friend, Vicki Brown, and I have shared more memories then I can count. We are so […]
A Beautiful Moment – Camp Mann ’15
“No one knows why we are meant to suffer. But we do believe in your infinite wisdom. There is always a reason and a purpose. We hope that one day you will reveal it.” Wise words from a Lifetime movie recently watched. As I’ve mentioned recently in a blog, Eye of the Storm, how much I […]

Bad Hair + B Movies = I’m Still Alive
Yep. No brush graced this head of hair. I can’t remember the last time I shaved my legs. Some times, a lot of times, I’ll go the whole day without brushing my hair. I am in love with cucumber or carrots…soaked in apple cider vinegar. I hate, HATE, bras and rarely wear them. A guilty […]
Eye of the Storm
It’s summertime. That means vacations, cookouts, swimming, outdoor shenanigans, and having an excuse to wear little to no clothing. However, for the very young, old, and people who have health conditions, we have to be very aware of the heat index. Falling under two of those categories, you can imagine that I am not able […]
Game of Life
I’ve been watching a lot of Game of Thrones lately. And I can’t help but think between the cancer, the transplant, the dozens of medications, that my body feels like Westeros and lots of parts about me I really loved are getting killed off or are always under attack. I’m still trying to recover from […]
Broken
I use to believe that everything happens for a reason. That’s a bunch of bull. There’s too many things that happen in this world that makes no sense. I always do my best to keep a positive attitude and have a smile on my face. Although I’m finding it harder and harder to keep that […]
Let’s Talk Body
We come to this Earth with one body, one vessel. It’s wonderful what the human body is truly capable of and you’re just living life day in and day out doing your normal daily activities. Most of us take for granted how amazing the human body is and at times even mistreat it. For me, […]
