Assertiveness

by | Sep 5, 2013 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

Second Firsts

  “Second Firsts” is a book about the grieving process and how to start over again after a loss. I wish I had this book when Rick died in 2004 and when my dad died in 2005. Two loses of men who were deeply important to me. I made some huge mistakes and I see that...

Loving Our Pets

by | Aug 16, 2013 | Living Ministries, The Magnificent Journey

Good morning! I hope you have a spectacular day. This morning I am heavily disheartened by a flea situation in my apartment building caused from an ex-neighbor who just moved out recently. The reason it is disheartening to me is the fact that I bewildered that someone...

Sisterhood Week 1

by | Aug 14, 2013 | The Magnificent Journey, Weight

Confession time, week one of the challenge did not go so well. First, I over ate big time a few days this week and I only exercised two days this week, how pathetic is that?  I have no idea why I let myself down after declaring my desire for movement and good...

It is that time of again, my weekly update. Let me tell you it was a challenging week, but I am through it. First of all, I had to go the ER Monday night and spent 7 hours there. Not fun, but I had a nice nurse that made it bearable. Just below my stoma I have a...
