If they eye offend thee pluck it out, or in my case it was my uterus
I had a hysterectomy yesterday. It’s been in the works for almost 9 months, well really almost a year and a half now. When crap hit the fan in 2023, one of the things I wanted was a hysterectomy just so that my period, which has been painful for years, was one last thing I…

Learning how my muscles work
Have you ever known you were doing something wrong, but no one has been able to tell you how to do it right? I have, especially with exercise and posture. Last year I went to a migraine clinic that worked a multiple prong approach. Parts of it worked, but one part didn’t, and that was…

Too Many Glass Balls
To reuse Amelia’s metaphor, I’ve dropped the plastic balls, which includes this blog. My slow down in posting started by me living in the moment and enjoying life and my family. I wanted to soak the good in not try to process it in words. I had the energy to participate fully in life, which…

You Are Beautiful Because You Are You
I have an uncle whose standard greeting is “Hello Beautiful!”. I love it. He genuinely means it because he understands thr idea that you are beautiful because you are you and it comes across whenever he greets me. With that I have had a lot of thoughts about beauty, body image, and self worth lately…

Banana Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Banana Pumpkin Bread I just realized neither Amelia nor I have posted this week, and I haven’t had time to formulate a post, so I’m going to share a recipe I created all on my own, and that I’m quite proud of. It’s also a recipe that I have never tried because I made it…
