(Image from rather.com) I’ve heard women say that childbirth is the worst physical pain in the world and I won’t dispute that. Between childbirth and any sort of physical menstruation pain, yes. accepted. What could be worse? How about the pain of knowing? And then having to LIVE with the knowing for the rest of…
There’s been too much rain lately, too many days of wet. Wet roads, wet trees. Slick roads. Slick words from many corners of the news and social media. And too many out there lapping up those slicks.
Its hard to grow up these days. There’s so much to navigate. And so many landmines that can blow up and derail any and all possibles.

Its estimated that 258 million people now do not live in the country of their birth. That’s about 3% of the world’s total population.…
Back in March, my husband had to visit the local Emergency Room at our local hospital for an infection that needed immediate attention. We are lucky enough to have healthcare provided by his employer, but it doesn’t cover everything. We waited to see what would get covered and what would not, and how the hospital’s…
