In my former post “Switch On, Switch Off” last week, I reported about a book I stumbled upon that helps detoxify patterns of thinking that are unhealthy and damaging. I chose to specifically help myself from thinking negatively. Any negative thought. I have to admit, I have missed a few days of meditation. Not on…

I recently discovered this free book on Kindle called “Switch on Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health” by Dr Caroline Leaf. I have just finished reading the book, yes it really was FREE, and now I am to the part where the rubber meets the road . The basic concept is…

The truth hurts. Sometimes we’ve been living it and not realizing it. And then one day, “Poof!” Truth reveals itself like the rabbit out of the magician’s hat. The silly creature was in the hat the whole time; Hidden by a tricky panel in the hat that we were always aware of. But, it’s not…

When I was about seven or eight, I was playing outside of my little country trailer house with my favorite playmate and cousin, Jessie, a year or so younger than me. We would run around dirty, forts, cow chips, riding stick horses, but mostly real ones. Jessie always got to be rodeo queen. Hmph. This…

It would seem that just not too long ago, I was every perception of healthy. Vibrant, maybe. Lifelike. Slowly, things just started to shut off. Lower tolerance to stress. To pain. Less fight. Fewer emotions. With a chronic illness like MS, there are no doubt to be emotional and mental battles, trapped in a…

Wow! That is a perfect summary to my 2016. Just, “Wow!” Mom, Toby, and the kids, my sister, my closest loves. It was a wild ride, but we made it. In January of 2016 mom’s 7th cancer occurrence would show up as multiple tumors on MRI scans. Multiple tumors Idaho doctors would no longer operate…
