Sitting here in my white, tattered but still pretty fluffy fleece robe, I stare at the blank screen and wonder where to begin? Drinking my sweet chocolate mint flavored coffee out of the hub’s black and silver to go mug. Sounds like a nice comfy scene but there’s not enough fluffiness or warm java to…

The Calm Before The Storm
It’s December 16th, and I know I have not been active on my blog since summer! I feel so guilty, but I just haven’t felt like writing. What the heck? I don’t understand it myself. I say this is the calm before the storm for many reasons. My daughters and grand kids will be here…
Summer Is Finally Here!
Yesterday was summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Up here in our neck of the woods it often feels like we have the longest winters and wettest, chilliest springs. For the last couple of summers we seemed to have a short and rainy one. Last year our vegetable garden did not fare well,…
Two Days in Paris (Day 2)
Our second day in Paris consisted mainly of our Hop On Hop Off Big Bus tour and the Seine river cruise which were both included with the Paris Pass. After our breakfast of potatoes, toast with marmalade and croissants, we took an Uber from our hotel to the Eiffel Tower where we would be able…
Two Days In Paris (Day 1)
Having already been enjoying the little country of Luxembourg, it was easy to catch a train and head to Paris for a couple of days. It was our first time and we were anxious to see what we could in the short amount of time we had. My best friend had already been researching Paris…

I didn’t know anything about Luxembourg, quite frankly I didn’t even know it was it’s own country. A small (998 square miles) landlocked country surrounded by France,…
Breast Implant Illness (BII) Part 1
Warning, this post contains post surgical photos which may make people upset or queasy. 6 years ago, I went in for my annual pap smear and mammogram. You know, the usual dreaded female appointment. I had been cancer free from my previous bone cancer for 13 years so I was feeling pretty damn good. We…
Breast Implant Illness (BII) Part 2
My explant surgery was scheduled for November 9, 2018 with Dr. Alperovich (he is on the approved list for surgeons who perform enbloc) https://healingbreastimplantillness.com/explant-surgeons/ at Yale Hospital in New Haven, CT. I couldn’t wait to get these toxic things out of my body and start healing. The days were dragging by, I was miserable but…
The Little Green Miracle
Have you ever wondered why you feel more sluggish, tired, achy, and just plain worse as you get older? Your joints ache, you can’t lose weight, you’re puffy, you may have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome because the doctors can’t figure out exactly what is wrong with you? Maybe you’ve been through surgeries and…
Overcoming Fear, Breaking The Cycle
Have you ever had an irrational fear? You know it’s just ridiculous but you can’t help your pounding heart, your sweaty palms and your shallow breathing. You tell yourself to get it together, breathe deeply, everything will be fine. But you can’t get the thoughts out of your brain! You are definitely not alone. According…
