My Heart Hurts But Heart Health is Important Right Now #hearthealth #heartmatters
11 days ago, no wait, probably 30 days ago, I kept telling myself I was not scared. Multiple times a day. You know what? I really wasn’t scared of open-heart surgery. I was going to get fixed! Sure, it was going to hurt but I am too young to die so let’s do this! Then,... Continue Reading →
Taking an Adult Time Out For the Rest of the Summer #Chillaxing
I have been a stress case lately. All sorts of reasons. The real estate market is amped up and whipped into a daily frenzy. My cardiologist is putting me through the ringer with tests that are difficult to dismiss. I have such full days I cannot find time to clean my own home or do... Continue Reading →
Emotional Roller Coaster #NotWhatIExpected
I had a heck of a week the past seven days. Monday brain MRI. Tuesday meet with neurosurgeon. Then, met with veterinarian cardiologist for Zeke. I went from worried to relieved to worried to wow, all that in less than one week. The aftermath of emotions was in all directions, and yet I am completely... Continue Reading →
Your Attitude is What Should Define You #BePositive
I have a second brain MRI today, and I am a bit nervous about learning the results. Well, I need to know what is going on, I need to make decisions, I need to move on. I want this damn tumor out of my head. It’s benign. That is what gets me over the anxiety.... Continue Reading →

I Have Something To Tell You #INeedMyACA #SaveHealthcare
Well, it’s official. I am afraid, I am nervous, I am scared about the fact that the GOP in Washington DC is fast tracking repealing the Affordable Care Act, ACA, Obamacare. Take your pick of term, but for me, it means so much more. Twenty-two years ago I when I was diagnosed with breast cancer,... Continue Reading →
If You Really Believe #DoNotGiveUp
I sort of had a writer’s block for this week’s post, really I did. But then happenstance came to my rescue. I was at my Chase bank branch Friday, and lo and behold my friend Steve Stuebner was in the line ahead of me. He told me great news. Let me fill you in on... Continue Reading →
Lemon Tahini Dressing, my way #lemontahinidressing
I have to admit, I LOVE lemon anything. I tried this dressing last weekend with miso. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious. However, I felt making the taste simple would just be a better result. I was right, once again. Insert smile here 🙂 Oh, and I make enough to last a week or... Continue Reading →
Marinara, My Way. It’s Time I Shared This for Fresh Tomatoes!
I sort of follow recipes and yet not at all. I just cannot add certain ingredients that cause concern for me. Why that? Why not this? But, I must admit, I enjoy more of a savory taste than a sweet taste. Gimme some spice in that dish! I can turn down chocolate any day but... Continue Reading →
