I’ve been struggling lately.  Caught up in the fear.  The fear of my cancer being back and the fear that this inspires in everyone around me. I am finding it really hard not to allow other people’s fears to invade my thoughts and take root in my body.  Especially as I choose to treat my…

The time has come to say goodbye.  Miss M and I officially leave Ohio this Friday.  July 26th.   Wow. The days now are full of goodbye hugs, tears, promises to stay in touch…  I’m saying goodbye to the cornfields, the farms, the wide open sky…  To lots of fantastic people who made living here…

What a whirlwind! Life has been pretty intense lately… All the traveling, staying in different places, prepping for our upcoming move… It’s a lot. My body was definitely telling me to slow down and take better care of myself. My face broke out, my back ached, my head hurt, I had no energy, and was…

So much going on.  Where do I even begin?? Let’s start with the good news…   Hubby got a new job!  And it’s in Connecticut!  After 2 years in Ohio we’re finally moving back East!!  Back to the ocean…  Back to the family…  Back to the hustle & bustle of the northeast…  We’ll be settling…
