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,” My sister probably just had a heart attack when she read that title. Come now, dearie. Do you have to jump to that conclusion? Would I really do something like that? Just because one of your nicknames is “Princess?” Ok, fine, I’ve been known to be a horrible sister at times. … More The Bratty Princess
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,” So I cried for two hours straight today. And by “cried” I don’t mean a little weeping with a few tears escaping out of the corner of my eyes here and there. (If that’s the definition then I’ve been crying for nearly 9 hours straight at this point). I’m talking about … More Choose to Believe
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” I just put on Martina McBride’s song “This One’s for the Girls.” It seemed fitting, because that’s where I’m headed with this one. Don’t worry, guys. You can keep reading. I’m not planning to get really gross or girly or anything. And I’m not gonna start bashing y’all either. But, if … More Mixed Messages
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” By now you should know about me and kombucha. I love the stuff. I brew gallons of it at a time, and sometimes I still run out and have to go buy some. I can’t seem to make a road trip of any length without it. Seriously. A few months ago … More Kombooza (The Adventures of Mr. Chia)
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” This is a sequel/follow up to a post (“Who are we dancing for?”) that my brother wrote on his blog. Nah, that’s a lie. This isn’t a sequel or follow up. It’s a complete rip off of his idea. But that’s ok. He got the idea while he was on the … More Who I Am Dancing For
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” So I was making supper last night. The Ant comes into the kitchen, sees what I’m cooking, and tells The Uncle: “We’re having gourmet stuffed peppers for dinner!” I gave her one of my famous “looks.” I’ve got a whole arsenal of these “looks,” and they get used quite often. Especially … More Stuffed Peppers (Grain Free)
My Dear “Kindred Spirit,” It’s midnight, and I can’t sleep. I write when that happens. Granted, I don’t usually write blog posts when that happens, but I do write. And there’s got to be a first time for everything… So this particular midnight I’m writing a blog post! You’ll have to forgive me if it … More TO LIFE!! (Embrace the Adventure)
