Hi All!
OK, so my first post back to this blog is going to be a rambling mess. Why? Because I am having a rough time right now. I have been stressed to a point that I don’t really know how to deal anymore. But I am finally on a staycation that is giving me a bit of a mental reprieve. This month, my daughter would have turned 35! WTH!?!?! Was it really that long ago? Some days it feel like it was…

Life Got Crazy!
OK, so here we are 7 months post brain bleed. T is doing well. He has improved beyond what I ever dreamed. He isn’t quite ready to driive or be left alone for too long at a time, but he is getting closer every day! All of his doctors are still a bit stumped by him. They say with all the evidence, he should have died either on 4/20 or during any of the subsequent seizures or the 2 strokes. I am…

Reflections
For your heart to keep beating
For your lungs to keep filling
Hold on
You are not done living
On this scariest of days
This was my prayer
The words I spoke to Him
In the midst of my terror
I will always remember this fear
I look back now
You held on strong
And sometimes I wonder how
But so many were praying
From across the world came positivity and light
Twice we almost lost…

August 2023 Fitness Challenge
This month I have decided it is time to try to get back to work!
Still not pushing all out, but I am ready to start working on my health along with worrying about my Tony’s health.
My goals for this month are to lose another 8-10# and work on meal prep again. Meal prep will help me with eating healthier even when Tony can’t eat, or has to eat something not so healthy so he can keep it down and…

Let's Talk Health Insurance
I’m not going super deep into it, because we are actually still going through it.
After a sudden brain bleed, I have Prayer Warriors everywhere around the world fighting for my husband’s life.
I was dreading calling the insurance. As you can imagine. But I had to know where we stood. I’m good with numbers. Numbers make sense. The emotions running through my head do not. So I tried to focus on a…

See You Soon
I woke up today You again did not For the 12,418th day It’s been 34 birthdays Each one as heartbreaking as the last But I will see you soon Time, painfully slow as it sometimes seems Actually passes in the blink of an eye Days can feel like decades Yet years can feel like moments Only yesterday, it seems I left the hospital alone I was told Jesus needed you more I believe your soul was simply Too…

Diabetes Treatment Update!
This MY journey with diabetes and the treatments I am receiving for it.
No pics yet, but I am on Day 5 of Mounjaro and a Dexcom G6 CGM.
I am down 3# and the full feeling is settling in more and more with each meal.I am so far blessed, and have not dealt with any constipation, nausea, or other gut problems yet.
As far as the G6, the very first day, I almost ripped the sensor and transmitter off…

April 2023 Fitness Challenge and More!
This month we are slowing it down a bit. Does NOT mean I am making it easy, I just want you to be more aware of every aspect of your form during each rep. Is your core engaged? Is your back flat? Are you wobbling from testing your balance? THINK as you do these this month, and if you need a reminder or a pick me up, you can always check in with me, or check in with the amazing people who are part…

20 Years Later
Today marks 20 years since the day my Mom passed away. I remember working in the yard and Tony screaming out the door for me to come quick. My Dad had just called and said something bad happened to Mom and to get there quick. I jumped in the car and headed to his house. She was gone by the time I got there. She was GONE. And my heart was broken.
I started to question everything. I had 6 weeks…
