It has been 4 years and 4 months since the accident. Mostly, I'm better. But sometimes, when it rains, or when I've been upright for more than 6 hours, I feel the pain. It can be a giant electrical bolt thru my brain without warning. Or, a giant, putting his fist in my head and… Continue reading 4 years & 4 months
It's been awhile. A long while. I've been thinking about you lovingly. Starting to write again. Where to begin? And then today happened. And I'm bubbling over. My family is in Rome. We are on a 9 country, 14 city, 67 day world tour (#9country14city67days on Instagram to check it out!) We have a lovely… Continue reading The word that translates in every language…
Parting words from one of my wisest friends as I left for Bali, "open your heart, lead with it, be in your heart, this is what you need". I've been "in my head" so long, I could hardly contemplate what it means to open my heart. I'm kind, isn't that enough? I mean, I try… Continue reading Cracking wide open
We have been in Bali 6 nights. And these are the things I'm grateful for: My kids are sleeping through the night for the first time in their lives. (and my daughter is 8). They are sleeping straight thru. This has never happened to us. Ever. We have befriended 3 local families. Their love… Continue reading Grateful, in Bali

But I laid in bed for two years visualizing it, and then, it just sort of happened. It was like the… Continue reading Moving to Bali
Friends! This is amazing. I have finally finally had time to properly place my nose in the most amaze-balls book and it's blowing my mind. So of course, I'm ready to share! I've been looking forward to its release for months, and then life happened and it's been sitting on my Kindle waiting for my… Continue reading Healing without hurting
I use Facebook much differently than many people. The cool thing about FB is that it is smart and figures out what you look at, and brings more of that. I used to pay attention to the drama of people I knew decades ago, or the endless pictures of kids (which I still do) but… Continue reading 5 items to add to your Facebook Feed
I'm continually stunned and saddened by the state of the health of our children and the overall lack of concern by the population. The rates of autism increase daily, not to mention Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and a whole mess of other similar neuro illness with names like ODD, OCD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, etc. Our kids… Continue reading Mama Bear Love
I'm finally able to start cooking a bit again! Yay. I love cooking. I haven't made Granola in awhile. If you haven't either, now is the time to start! It is easy, cheap, kid friendly and a great way to sneak in all of those "great" ingredients that are challenging to get in otherwise. You… Continue reading Incredible, Easy and Powerful Granola
I've been reading other bloggers lately with CSF leaks trying to gleam treatment ideas, and it occurred to me that I should give more details of my own treatment to share with others that are searching. The situation: I was in a car accident in late September 2013.That means I've been on bedrest for about… Continue reading CSF Leak Treatment continues…
