A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. - Christopher Reeve I saw a post on Facebook this week from one of our ER nurses that questioned if she was really doing what she was meant to do. It...
I was thinking I was oddly at peace today, and then my eye started twitching. I’m having a dinner party on Wednesday night and for some reason it kept me up last night … I was thinking about it. What? Maybe you do this as well, but for some reason...
This is a very strange week for me. As you know, I bowed out of grounded last Friday. Our fridge broke and I got it fixed, but all the meats and cheeses weren't good anymore. Since I sold it and the new owners would take over in a couple of...

Sail beyond the horizon; fly higher than you ever thought possible; magnify your existence by helping others; be kind to people and animals of all shapes and sizes; be true to what you value most; shine your light on the world; and be the person you were born to be....
