Remember back in 2015 when I had a bout of Leukemia? Ya, me too. Well, during that time, I managed to establish a reputation for being a type of “Wonder Woman.” I received scarves, plaques, costumes, cards and other Wonder Woman paraphernalia on a regular basis. They even started showing it in syndication on someContinue reading “A new kind of Wonder Woman?”

What WORD does God call you?
This one hit me hard about a month ago. I am just now ready and willing to share it with you. First, another confession that I stole (though I prefer the more civilized word, “borrowed”) another book from my mother-in-law’s library last time I was in Vegas. If you recall, I “borrowed” another book ofContinue reading “What WORD does God call you?”

“-Ism”
I have often heard alcoholism described as a “disease that wants to get you alone and kill you.” The emphasis is not on the object of alcohol but on the part about being alone—Isolation. If someone battling this disease tries to fight it on their own—with no support system or program group or sponsor—it willContinue reading ““-Ism””

Your worst enemy
I love to read the Psalms when I am angry (or feeling like a victim). David, who wrote the majority of them, goes in to great detail about wanting his enemies to be “smote” or tortured in some terrible way. He vents his fears and human desire for justice to come to his enemies. HeContinue reading “Your worst enemy”

If you can’t hide it-decorate it!
OK-this is going to be short, sweet and to the point because I have a haircut in 45 minutes. If you are new to my blog, that is a statement of celebration because I have post-leukemic hair and I am very grateful that I have hairs to cut! It’s funny that I am headed toContinue reading “If you can’t hide it-decorate it!”

No thank you, friend!
Today I spent some time taking with the husband of one of the teachers I used to work with. I worked as a “one-on-one” with a pre-schooler in her special ed pre-school class. It made me think that it had been while since I pulled from my “everything you need to know you can learnContinue reading “No thank you, friend!”

The Voice of Truth
I have a lot of blog ideas rolling around in my head, but someone besides me must need to hear what I talk about because I just can’t stop landing on this topic. But first, remember how “I run marathons”? (see blog entry: “Why I Hate You in a Nutshell”). Or should I ask, rememberContinue reading “The Voice of Truth”

What am I doing wrong?
Ok…this is a sad story. It’s about me, but since it isn’t something I remember saying, I can tell you as if it were someone else and tell you that it breaks my heart that someone would think this. Last time I was in for chemo I was talking with the nurse that was withContinue reading “What am I doing wrong?”
