My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” This is a continuation of my previous post, and the previous warning still stands: Men, beware! You don’t want to read this! I’ve been wanting to write this post for a year. And I’ve been actively threatening to write it for a few months now. It’s time to write this post. … More TMI about R.U.M.P.S
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” I had to put the dots in the title so you’d realize RUMPS is an acronym, and that I’m not writing an entire post about rearends. As most of you know, I have some rather strong hippie tendencies. Kombucha, raw milk, no shoes, worms under my sink… All that good stuff … More R.U.M.P.S
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” I’ve been trying for the past few weeks to make this post and my last post one and the same. I finally gave up. I couldn’t figure out how to cram everything I wanted to say into one post without it just being weird (like, really weird. Even weirder than usual). … More Hospital Anecdotes
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” You’re quirking your eyebrows at that title, I can just tell. Yes, yes, yes. This is still me writing this post. The mostly-crunchy, wannabe hippie-type chick. The same girl who writes about natural healing, real food, and the horrors of modern medicine. And, no, “hope” is not the first word that … More The Hope in Hospitals
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” “One step forward and two steps back, nobody gets too far like that. One step forward and two steps back, this kind of dance can never last…” (You’ve heard that song before, right?) So I’m kinda in the middle of a UC flare right now. (Scratch the “kinda.” I just put … More My Autoimmune Flare Survival Guide
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” You’re reading that title and thinking “Her “take” on food? She takes it and eats it! Duh!!” You’re absolutely right. Ahhh, I do love my food… I love pretty much everything about food – growing food, cooking food, talking about food, thinking about food, and especially eating food. I even love … More My “Take” on Food
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” My goodness… what a year this is turning out to be!! Lately my life has been taking turns I never expected it to, and I’ve found myself going places and doing things I never would have dreamed of a year or so ago. Makes me think of one of my favorite … More Less Stress!
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So I was realizing in reading over my last “health” post that I kinda sound like a quitter: “Yeah, so I really changed my diet… for 10 months. And now I’m back to eating ice cream. Let me give you some excuses about why I’m such a quitter…” Ok. This could … More Food Stress
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” Woohoo! Part 3! The end is almost in sight!! Yeah, that’s a lie. The end is nowhere near being in sight. But you are almost caught up on the “brief overview from when it all started to where I am now.” That’s gotta count for something, right? So it was late … More Food & Hospitals (& Hospital Food – AHHH!) (My “Health Journey,” Part 3)
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So, part 2. (Part 1 is here, if you haven’t read it yet). Where were we? Oh, yes – diagnosis: Ulcerative Colitis. Allow me to take a moment here and try to convey to you just how much I abhor the name of my disease. The Crohn’s people get to say … More Drugs, Diet, and becoming a Hippie (My “Health Journey,” Part 2)
