I have offered by blog to my family to tell their own stories if they would like. Today is the first guest blog by my sister, Melinda. Today was my first step back into my nurse practitioner role since Dad’s passing. It was hard. Much harder than I thought it would be. I have worked … Continue reading Guest Blog by Melinda

Love
I’m on my porch this morning. It is cool and the birds seem grateful for that fact. The sun is playing with the trees and the result is a light show sprinkling the rays all around me like a disco ball. My fingers take the cue and dance across the keyboard.

The cursed cursor blinks at me, as if asking me what next? What to say? What to type? Sometimes I talk … Continue reading The Cursed Cursor
How Do I Fight?
I believe there are two worlds. The natural one and the supernatural one. The natural one is what I see with my eyes and experience with my senses. I live here, in this place where I interact with others and the natural environment. Day to day decisions, my thought patterns, and my feelings, all make … Continue reading How Do I Fight?
True North
A star peers through my window as I drive. It is luminous, and for the past few nights it has been capturing my notice…almost calling me to pay attention. Whispering a message through its repeated appearances throughout the countryside, I pull over to listen. I gaze at the seemingly stationary star, and as I do, … Continue reading True North
