MEN-O-PAUSE!!!

OK MEN…move along…go to the next blog…this one’s not for you.

Unless you want to know what really goes on in a woman’s mind during the lovely process we affectionately call menopause.

If that word alone doesn’t send up the flares for you, let me reword it…MEN-O-PAUSE!

Get it?

Pause before you speak men…or smile…definitely don’t smirk! Read more

Our peace is in Him.

I stopped at my favorite radio station yesterday.

If you are anywhere close to Duluth, Minnesota, I highly recommend you tune into Life 97.3. It’s an uplifting and yet calming Christian station.

I found them on one of my trips last year as I was going through therapy for some past “stuff” I had to work through. Parent “stuff”, sibling “stuff”, work “stuff”, me “stuff”…old “stuff” that just kept coming back to haunt me (thus the term PTSD).

The reason I stopped at the station was to thank them and to tell them just how much their music had meant to me during this difficult time. I laughed with it, I cried with it, I rejoiced with it, and I prayed with it. Read more

I Want Cake!

I’m casting the diet aside to celebrate…

I was going to be good.

I really was.

I made it all the way home today without stopping at McDonald’s for a large Iced Caramel Mocha…now that’s a feat! Read more

A Beautiful Foot Muscle (?)

My Neurologist told me I have a beautiful foot muscle today.

We had been discussing Peripheral Neuropathy and EMG testing and she wanted to see my feet. Her assistant/student and I had a good laugh when she commented on the beauty of my foot.

We really laughed when she told us how she looks at people’s feet and thinks to herself – I’d really like to poke that foot!

For those of you now thinking that this Doctor is nuts – what she’s talking about is doing an EMG on people’s feet. Read more

Style Consultation aka Fun with Friends!

A fun afternoon with a friend turned into a fun afternoon with lots of friends!

We’d made an appointment when she sent out the text for help – she has four events coming up that she needs outfits for…

This is one of the things I LOVE to do…

And one of my God-given talents (which seems so minor in the realm of talents, but I have fun with it anyway)…

Helping people find the perfect outfit, or a whole new wardrobe, or a few things to add to their wardrobe!

We have a great time, trying things that are their style…things that are slightly beyond their style and even a few things that are way out there!

Needless to say there are more than a few giggles that happen. We may even get a little loud and rammy…but that’s ok…we definitely have fun! Read more
