I’ve been really working on getting rid of my ego. It really seems to get in the way of my life and living fully and abundantly. The ego always seems to say, Not enough or Not good or You did better than… Comparison is such a horrible way to live. Wouldn’t you agree? Or not […]
Hubby and I had a wild weekend. We drove into LA, near LAX from Arizona, and spoke at a church Sunday morning. Doing something like this you really need to be in sync. One goes down, we both go down. One gets off, we both run off. One gets an, Amen, it feels like both […]
I’ve been giving a lot of thought on legacy and what really matters. If you think about it, when we reach our last day a lot of what matters along the way won’t matter at all. There is a book titled “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing” […]
I will never forget one defining moment my last year of graduate school. I was required to have a clinical education experience in a hospital setting. When I arrived at the local medical center, I was asked to serve on the oncology floor. Five days a week for the month of January, from 8:00 a.m. […]

September 11, 2021 was the 20th anniversary of 9/11. There were countless tributes to that day, and rightly so.
