When I was a young girl, my mom told me that I could be anything I wanted to be, so I started dreaming….. Memories; the good and the bad…… I have many wonderful memories of my childhood, like growing up on a farm, being around animals, reading under the weeping willow tree, eating fresh strawberries fromContinue reading “Live Your Dreams”

The Rebel Rouser Rooster
I grew up on a small farm in rural Pennsylvania. Our farm was not a dairy farm or a horse farm, but a farm with a menagerie of animals; rabbits, ducks, pigs, a few heifers, one bull, several cats, and a beagle named, Buddy.

One night, the heartburn was so terrific, I thought I would vomit. Of course, being stubborn, I just took more antacids. ItContinue reading “My Life with Barrett’s Esophagus”

Friday, A Day of Lessons
Today is Sunday. The weather is sunny and slightly spring-like. The snow is melting, and I am enjoying every minute of it. As I reflect, on the days leading up to this glorious afternoon, Friday stands out as a day of lessons. It started out like any other day: morning prayers, coffee and breakfast, and catching upContinue reading “Friday, A Day of Lessons”
