My Life

Last year I started to learn Tai Chi.  It was part of my program to improve my health and reduce my stress.  It was something new and I was able to convince my husband who is exercise resistant to join me.  I have never done any type of martial art activity and I was very [...]

This is the time of that many of us rewind the year and think about what went well and what didn’t.   I’ll admit that I do the same.  At Christmas, being a mother and a wife, I run around trying to make Christmas as joyful as possible for everyone.   This year it included more travelling [...]

I was assigned last week to a new project and Friday morning on my way to [...]

I realized today that I’m a people gardener.  I have all these wonderful people in my life and they all need different “treatments” from me.  That could be my husband, his family (which are now my family too), my children and my friends.  Some need to be watered, others fed and lots of them need [...]

Once upon a time I was needle phobic.  Then I got pregnant and had to have blood drawn to protect my unborn baby so I put my big girl pants on and had it done.  Imagine at 20 years old being checked for syphilis now that’s gross but it was standard procedure.  Just for the [...]
