Music has always played a big role in my life. As a little girl, I sang with my mother. In high school and college, I sang with the choir as well as in small groups and solos. When I do anything creative or read I like to listen to music. When I read or write I listen...

I believe grief lasts a lifetime. That being said, I don’t expect to grieve all the time for the rest of my life. It comes in small, sometimes unexpected, waves. Something reminds me of Mike and makes me cry or sends me down memory lane. Last weekend I went to the...

I went to my first Touched By A Horse® Core (Equine Gestalt Coaching Method workshop) about two weeks before my 30th wedding anniversary. One of the women there had some jewelry that she had designed. They were beautiful horses with colored stones in them and they...

Last week I wrote about getting ready for the radiation therapy. By this time, I’ve already had eight treatments. The treatments are daily and last only a few minutes. The social worker who was trying to see if she could get the insurance company to rush the...
