    Hi BreeAnna–You have an amazing spirit! You such fight in you–it’s quite inspiring. I think, in a caregiving situation, the beginnings and endings constantly flow. Something ends and then something else begins. […]

    I LOVE your doctor!!! He sounds like a guy with your best interest in mind. I understand the hesitancy of taking something for anxiety–but if it works, why not? It’s just alike a membership to the gym–it’s a way […]

    Hi EJ–I LOVE the photo! I love your questions at the end as well. I guess boundaries would help (“When I have pressing work commitments, major repairs have to wait until I’ve made my deadlines or had a good […]

    1. Handling stress is key to life.
    2. Not knowing things,keeps us going
    3. Stepping up can be a choice
    4. all that matter: The little things
    5. Don’t say, could it be worse.
