I'm Grateful That's All You Have!

        Okay... so I'd not exactly planned to have this blog reflect my personal journey, so much, but it appears that is where my creative powers have gone, and so I can only follow their lead.  My mind is interesting, that way: it seems to want to express what it wants to express, and anything else won't get shared!  So I guess you get to know me a little better!

Calm in "The Diagnosis Vortex of Doom"

        Last week, I shared a link to an article by Michelle Auerbach which resonated with a lot of people who are struggling with illnesses which either cannot be, or simply haven't yet been diagnosed, and an adequate treatment program begun.  The fact that so many agreed it was an issue of importance, both in public and in private, has had me thinking about my own situation, and so, here we go again!  Something a little unusual, but hopefully of value to someone, as well as doing right by Ms Auerbach and her article.

A Matter of Moments, Milestones, and Mental Meanderings

        Here we are, at Week 18 of my Motivational Mondays, personal challenge, and I must say that this past week, as I compose this, I'm doing a whole heckuvalot better than I was last week!  Actually, better than I have been for...a while. 

        This week's question is perfectly timed, actually...so let's get into the fun, hmm?

An Honorary Doctorate...Or Two

        I had no idea that when I grew up and began the journey for myself, that things would go the way they have, so far.  Not that anyone ever does, really.

Recipes For Someone A Little Different

On this journey through life, one thing that is required is that we eat at least occasionally.  When one has food allergies, intolerance or other special requirements or needs, it can become daunting to try to figure out how to manage in a culture filled with items that one has to avoid.
