In addition, this month’s story is our first male story which I was very interested in reading. I have been getting to know Barry for …

the Art of Letting Go: Part Two
If you haven’t noticed, this week’s posts are the result of many weeks of introspection, analysis, and processing. It’s as if everything is suddenly coming together all at once. Amazing how that happens! On May 7th, I read a post on Renee’s blog, Renee’s Reflections, about her struggle with surrendering and it has been haunting me ever since! [In a good way, Renee! ] As a result I have had to confront the idea of surrendering with the new parameters …

Lost 30 pounds by making 6 switches
On January 1st, of this year, I made a decision to no longer make New Year resolutions. I have come to the place that, for me personally, these types of commitments or contracts, if you will, are more negative producing than naught. However, I had a goal I wanted to work on so I needed to determine how I would complete it. The first thing I knew I needed to do was to figure out what I would not do. …

The Rubber Band Theory
This weekend I received the delivery of my two (2) veggie/fruit bags from Natural Farms, the co-op I joined earlier in this year. As I was putting them away, I reached down and took the thick rubber band off of one of the veggies. As I held it in my hand, it suddenly spoke to me. Well, not literally, but it did create this innate understanding deep within me. Interestingly, an issue I have been pondering and struggling with … …

My journey from drugs to herbs – Part One
I was raised to believe in doctors and their wisdom. Never did I dream of a time in my life where I would start questioning the ability of doctors or pharmaceutical drugs to cure me. The road to a semblance of normalcy was one fraught with much pain and obstacles. Despite that, it is one I would gladly endure again, because it drove me to a place where I had to decide what I was willing to accept and what …

5 Ways my BLACKBERRY helps me manage my CFIDS/FMS
As anyone who is struggling with a chronic illness innately understands, dealing with the difficulties posed by said illness can be quite taxing, and sometimes, downright overwhelming … especially if memory or cognitive function is affected. Thus, when I finally received my ‘free’ Blackberry several weeks ago, little did I understand how my love affair with my Storm 2 would go way beyond ‘love at first sight!’ Who would have thought that this amazing, little device could be a solution …

7,300 days
Well, today it is obvious to me that I have caught some kind of bug. I am running a fever, have a deep cough, am having difficulty breathing, and have the chills which is usually indicative to my having caught a virus or a bug. So, my goal for this week has changed to taking it very slow and resting a lot. As I was laying in my chair-and-a-half (I have figured out I can put my head on one …
