Today I am so much better than I was 2 weeks ago. It’s been a long journey to healing and I’m glad I finally arrived with the help of 4 healing angels, my chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist and cranio-sacral practitioner. My sister Andrea was scheduled to visit me for 5 days starting February 16. Two days before her visit I received a strong message from the universe that we needed to reschedule her visit. I woke up…..
I did a stupid thing February 6, Tuesday. I went to Costco and lifted a 35-pound cat litter container into my cart. I felt ok until the next morning when I bent down to grab a saucepot for our oatmeal. I felt an immediate pain across my back and knew I was in trouble. I got down on the floor and did a yoga posture called child’s pose taking long, slow deep breaths for about 5 minutes. That didn’t help much…..
With the help of Balboa Press marketing team I created a Facebook page for my book “Messages from the Afterlife – Memoirs of a Hospice Nurse.” I learned how to blog and post these blogs on my Facebook page, Facebook news feed and my Twitter account. The holidays were very busy for me and I did not keep up with checking my page for notifications from people visiting my page. The other day I took the time to…..
I am glad the holidays are over but I still enjoy them every year. I have a love/hate relationship with them. The part I love is watching my three grandchildren’s excitement about Christmas, complete with it’s twinkling lights, Santa and beautifully wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree. I also had the pleasure of being with two of my grandkids in Dallas at the end of November as they sat on Santa’s lap relaying their Christmas gift list. I…..
Last weekend I assisted Wendy Treynor, PHD for the I Can Heal retreat at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, CA, which is in Santa Cruz County. The workshop was about going within to find your own truth. We witnessed amazing spiritual breakthroughs. It was an honor and privilege to witness their revelations and growth. Wendy and I left @5:30 am on Thursday arriving at the campus around 2:30 pm after a few stops for food, gas and…..
I had the great joy of being with my two sons and their families this past Thanksgiving. I arrived in Dallas, Texas on Saturday, November 17 for my son Tom’s 47th birthday. My younger son Mike and my 7-year-old grandson Mikey arrived at the airport 30 minutes after my plane arrived. I greeted them both at the baggage claim area. My heart burst open with love and joy when I saw the look of happiness on Mikey’s face…..
Here is an excerpt from my book “Messages from the Afterlife – Memoirs of a Hospice Nurse”: I admire my patient Carolyn’s daughter, who cares for her mom 24/7. I don’t know how she does it. I doubt that I could be that selfless, and now that my own mother is on hospice and needs care; it is my 90-year-old dad who is caring for her. I live 2,000 miles away so it’s impossible for me to…..
Here is an excerpt from my book “Messages from the Afterlife – Memoirs of a Hospice Nurse”: “One of the joys about being a hospice nurse is the inner knowing that I made a huge difference to patients and their families with the support and knowledge that I shared with them. I was so grateful for the supportive friends of my patients and families who gave their time and love when death approached.” When I think…..
I just returned home from a week long healing women’s retreat in Tuscany, Italy. We had a fabulous group of 8 women on this retreat and stayed in an amazing villa in the country, which was breathtakingly beautiful. There were 4 private bedrooms upstairs with a private baths and 3 bedrooms on the main floor. I needed to move beyond my fears about spending money on myself even though I had received a small inheritance from my…..
I just arrived home from a weekend spiritual retreat with 23 amazing women. It was held at the Mission San Luiz in Oceanside, CA, which is a 1 ½ hour drive from my home. I didn’t feel excited about going because I have been so busy this month with a 3-day trip to Sedona with my husband to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. Then 5 days later we had my nephew and his girlfriend visiting us from Chicago. …..
