On Wednesday, the girls and I were doing errands at South Shore. We were rushing through to get a few wreaths, holiday ribbon and hot cocoa along the way. While it was fun doing some holiday errands, it was also Arsenic Hour as my Mom calls it. In other words, I was attempting to do [...]

A Sundial Leading the Way?
For some reason, I have this image in my head of a Sundial. One that is big and brilliant in the Washington Park Rose Garden, with a view of Mt. Hood in front, and the trails and trees behind, Kauai to the right and New York City to the left. The Sundial is big enough [...]

Diabetes
Today is World Diabetes Day. Why is that important and why does the word Diabetes ring strong to me? Outside of the fact that by 2040 one out of three kids in the United States will most likely be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, it is because Makenzie is now prone to diabetes. The pancreas [...]

For Certain?
You know how in life there are guarantees and there are the wishes you drop in a bucket, clicking your heels and crossing your fingers that some will come true? There are some of the dreams you talk about when first married that are the wishes for the bucket and those that are the gurantees too. [...]

grateful… so grateful
I am working at my favorite Alameda Coffee shop, Julie’s, with eyes welled up with tears. It is not every day you can see change happen in people…but I get to. I have the opportunity to wake up early and teach Power Fitness PDX. I have been given a gift of to much energy and [...]

Fall is the season in our house that holds deep significance. Each leaf that falls from the tree is a meaning of life evolving, and how time passes. With each Season comes brilliance, energy and hope for what it holds. For me, September is a heartfelt time. Interestingly enough, it resonates with other friends whom [...]

Almost 2 Years Ago
Reading on Caring Bridge brings me back, and allows me to progress forward too. Interesting how when in ICU there was still so much unknown with Makenzie…and now her future has unknowns too. But she is strong and doing great today! She rocks her 1/3 of a pancreas like nobody’s business! Written Sep 28, 2010 11:14pm Makenzie [...]

One Thing is the Same- A Healthy Mom is a Happy Mom
Oy vey. It happened. I got a news feed that has me so frustrated with a celebrity trainer’s comments I can’t think straight. What celebrity trainer’s don’t realize is how far reaching their words are, and how many people take them to heart. The celeb trainer influences women regarding bodyweight more than we(the health and [...]

One word…Gratitude
In my networking group the Lucky Ladies, we had a life coach join us on Thursday to help with goal mapping. It’s interesting because throughout the morning hours leading to the meeting, I felt my thoughts becoming a bit unintentionally snubbish. A feeling similar to, “I know what we are going to do. I do SMART goal training [...]

Daughters
When I first had Makenzie, the breath was knocked out of me. Literally, it was, but figuratively too. We rushed to UCLA after dropping off our taxes, were “tskked tssskked” by a delivery nurse and my Mother in Law, who were both there waiting for us at check in. Already in trouble yet I hadn’t even [...]
