So we’ll take a break from the depressing posts about anxiety issues and chat about something different, though related. After the first two “clean” CT scans, I realized I had been given an amazing gift – a second chance at life of sorts. While this is thrilling and positive, it comes with a bit of […]

That whole Universe thing…
I can’t seem to find a quote that fits so you are stuck with a flower pic from today’s stroll through the gardens. Yes, I was sorta practicing with my camera – which I hadn’t used for at least a year – for the upcoming vacation. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, the Universe. There […]

What happens when you learn to love your comfort zone? It turns into a stagnation zone. Yes, I know this from first hand experience. Moving forward with this blog was my first (ok, maybe second) step in shaking things up and moving out of the comfort zone. And yes, this will be a theme. […]
