I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]
Where are your manners?
Our local news channel 3 has a segment called “Caught Misbehaving” where a reporter films people doing, well, bad things! One show highlighted people running through stop signs and another was people not slowing down for pedestrians as they crossed the street. What I find frustrating about the premise is that he never corrects the […]
I will not say no – not today. Say yes to something that challenges you!
It was 93 degrees—the heat of the day—and I decided to run the steep hill located near our house. It’s a road that leads to a cell tower. It isn’t anything special, but the switchbacks are a butt buster. My goal was up and down three times for a total of three miles. The pavement […]
We aren’t our past – Defy Your Diagnosis!
Like many, I am a big Iron Man fan. Robert Downey, Jr. does a phenomenal job once again in Marvel’s Avenger’s Endgame movie. I won’t spoil it for you if you haven’t seen it yet, but I will share a lesson from both the movie and the man. As Tony Stark aka Iron Man, his […]
Listen to Your Gut – Trust You To Take Care of You
Having gone misdiagnosed for six years with Lyme disease, I am no stranger to the frustration of our medical system. I was told my illness was in my head for years. Meanwhile, I kept getting worse with crippling pain and deformity. Eventually, I found a healthcare provider willing to listen, test, and work toward getting […]
Let’s Be Real
I don’t know what rock I have been living under, but I have never seen any of the Tyler Perry Madea movies. I really like the movies I’ve seen Perry in, so when Madea’s Family Reunion was on television (came out in 2006), I sat down to watch it. These movies have done so well […]
Silent Saturday
During our Palm Sunday service this past weekend, our pastor shared the significance of each aspect of Easter: Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter morning. I understood the meaning behind them, but what I didn’t know is about Saturday. Apparently, Saturday was a revered day because people would set it aside to not only mourn […]
What’s your super power?
I watched Dead Pool 2 on television the other day. The movies are violent gore meets junior-high humor. I am not recommending it because it isn’t for everyone, but those who enjoy them LOVE them. I have to be in the right frame of mind, and the television version is more PG13 than R. Anyway, […]
A Million Little Things
I am hooked on the new show, A Million Little Things, starring Ron Livingston, who was in the cult classic Office Space. I do not know exactly where the show is going, but I am appreciating the message thus far. The premise without giving too much away is this: One person out of a group […]
Tough to Love
As someone who endured an abusive marriage for six years, I cannot judge others who tolerate and live in unacceptable situations. I understand from experience that we are not ready for better until we are ready. We have to want out, and no one can do it for us. The best others can do is […]
