  • beginning of March 2014

    Apparently my last post worried some people.  Didn’t I say not to worry?  I am honored to hear so many people read this though 🙂 Things are better.  Even though it snowed again, the sun is out and the medication is kicking in.  A lot of the circumstances haven’t changed,…

  • catching up

    I feel like that’s all I do lately, try to catch up. So, the depression decided to go another round with me.  Maybe it was the weather (dreary) that made me feel down.  Maybe its the stress at work.  Maybe its the concern for friends.  Whatever the cause, or effect…

  • 13 days until Africa!

    … until I leave for Africa anyway, then one whole day of travel before I get there! Can’t believe I’m actually going!  Still seems surreal.  Things are better since my last post.  I know I sounded kinda down, but it passed.  Guess if any of you prayed, it worked!  that…

  • If things are good…

  • Pep talk

    It’s so hard to start over.  I keep thinking about how far I’ve fallen with the weight loss/fitness.  I’m slowly losing again, but still.  After losing so much and gaining it back plus some just sucks.  Plus my fitness level was getting really good, now it sucks too. OK, enough…

  • depression testimony (giving at Costa Rica and thought I’d share here too)

    In the past few years, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and depression.  For a little over 2 years (mid 2010 through about 2 months ago) I hated my life and my body.  I felt like nothing worked correctly and knowing that in Heaven I’d have a…
