This morning I met Sue Buehner and we went running, yes running.  My head felt fine but mostly I felt alive to be out in the early morning, 6:00 A.M. no less, and running, then walking when we grew tired, then running again.  I love how running and getting up early and pushing myself to […]

Bracelet from Jen’s friends- “Dance Moms” Yesterday afternoon, Maggie and Kate came running in with cards they had made for me. Maggie’s says: “I love you.  I hope it goes will with the pet scan love Maggie.”  Most adorable kindergarten writing.  I asked her about the picture and she said, with one upper front tooth […]

I love writing in my blog because it gives me the chance to process all that has happened especially in these last ten days.  I am overwhelmed by the people who have immediately, physically and spiritually, come to my aid.  I feel such gratitude towards them. But I want you to know that I am […]

  Here’s what you look like in a Panamanian village with the Embera Tribe with no idea that you have a large tumor growing on the right side of your brain.  I connected with this Mom and two sisters, we didn’t need language to know that we felt a connection.  They gave me a bracelet […]

I haven’t been running as much since the St. George Marathon on October 5 but in an effort to lose some pounds and especially a few inches from my waist, menopause fat (yuck!), I signed up with a personal trainer, Tyler.  Best part about it is that Joe, Nate and I go together.  I love […]

Today, along with Cokie and Donna, I ran/walked 16 miles as I am training for the St. George Marathon in October.  It was a beautiful morning, quickly warming up as we trudged along and I do mean trudged.  As we are getting older with accumulated injuries and tired from all the goings on in our […]
