RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION

And Two Shall Become One: Thoughts on Marriage and Faith

Tent and towels flap in the warm, steady, ocean breeze. Waves crash ashore and seagulls hover. I mindlessly drag my feet through the sand in front of my chair, making valleys and hills and then flattening them out as I watch our son skim-boarding in the shallow water of low tide. I taste the salt on my lips, and breathe in the warm air, relaxed. I could sit here all day. As my husband … [Read more...] about And Two Shall Become One: Thoughts on Marriage and Faith

Faith & Sweat: 100 Unicycles for Suicide Prevention

On the 1st of each month, we feature a story of someone putting their "Faith & Sweat" into action. This month I profile Jackie Lea Shelley, whose work I discovered through an online blogging challenge earlier this year. Her story inspired me, and I loved her fun, colorful designs. I have unicycle #29 hanging in my office. Some people see a unicycle as a symbol of balance, agility, and … [Read more...] about Faith & Sweat: 100 Unicycles for Suicide Prevention

your best health advocate is you

Why Your M.D. is Not Your Best Health Advocate

You are your best health advocate. If I've learned anything about my health the past few years, it's that. Present yourself with a lingering cough to your MD, and you will leave with a prescription. Complain about a stomach ache after you always eat, and you will leave with a prescription to try or an order for further testing. Now if that's what you came for, go home happy. It may take a … [Read more...] about Why Your M.D. is Not Your Best Health Advocate

Breathe: Lamenting What Was, Showing Up to What Is

Some of us are breathing again, on this day after Mother's Day. The ones breathing again today lost babies during pregnancy or at birth. The ones breathing today grieve not being able to conceive a child in their womb, only in their heart and mind. The ones breathing today buried a child, lost their own mother to death, or watched her fade away because of memory loss. The ones breathing today … [Read more...] about Breathe: Lamenting What Was, Showing Up to What Is
