Health journey

It’s hard. My vote -I want to see a ban on high fructose corn syrup. Industry leaders, time to stand up, see what your foods are doing to us and change. Right?

Piercing blows

Out of deep heartache can come immense treasures - love boundless - until it hurts. My parents met in high school. They fell in love. They argued as young people without a full sense of self and awareness of others do.  My father had an affair. There was turmoil. My mom fell for someone else.  My youngest two brothers were born.  Out of heartache, treasures.

Privileged Few or the should be's

My blog has been about recognizing my personal search and exploration of life. I've been on this current journey for the last 5 weeks.

Dear future self, maybe it's been 10 years and I'm looking back on a life that has taken on challenges beyond my wildest dreams and slayed them. I could look back and say I took to every moment with gusto and shared the biggest laughs and the tenderest moments. I get to smile and stare into my son's eyes and know I did my very best for him to carry on with the same zest for living out his best life. We could get to look back and say, in between clinks of wine glasses, that we put our best foot forward in all the moments that counted but also in those that did not if there is such a moment because of carpe diem and hurrah. Cheers friends to a life well lived.  Today, this weekend, we did a thing - my ex-husband and I - took a 2.5-hour turned 3.2-hour car ride with our son and back the same path because we missed the exit again to our summer family vacation spot Cannon Beach - we walked the shores, we shared a room, not a bed, we enjoyed lunch and James gets to grow up with h...
