First I want to apologize to all of you for missing my post last month. In September a room became available in the assisted living community we had picked out for our Mom, and my sisters and I had to make the decision to move Mom and then to actually accomplish said move in a very [...]
Silencing the Voices in My Head
There they are again … those voices in my head that want to drag me down. They’ve been showing up a lot lately, tormenting me with hateful questions and comments like: Who am I fooling? Who do I think I am, thinking I could ever accomplish something like that? Why would anyone listen to ME? What makes ME [...]
My Risk Today? Nutritionally Sound Eating
