Fix My Face
This is my current situation….Dr. Lettieri is in Nairobi saving lives (I love that) but I am here, stuck in a recovery bed drinking dinner from a straw. Might be a good time to explore using my Vitamix, I wonder if a steak could be […]

My Tribe
It’s been one week today since my surgery with Dr. Lettieri. He has text me several times–people may think that is weird getting text messages from your surgeon, and maybe it is a little. I don’t believe he has the time or capacity to do […]
Are You a Friend?
The past few month’s I’ve had to make some decisions, hard but freeing decisions. During my recovery I’ve had time to myself the silence has been cleansing. I’ve been pondering friends, who they are, and how to define them. These are my thoughts, ‘Good friends’ […]

Eric and I drove early Thursday morning to Maricopa Hospital. My anxiety level was pretty high until Dr. Lettieri showed up. He’s always so reassuring, comforting and confident. Dr. Lettieri is a genius in his field, he travels around the world teaching new cutting edge […]
Night Terrors

Porte Jaune Here I Come
Tomorrow I enter Mayo Clinic surgery center, close my eyes and go to my happy place, Porte Jaune Paris. This surgery is going to be regenerating some of my own tissue from bone marrow into my hip, hopefully alleviating pain and giving me more mobility. It’s […]
I Can Only Imagine
My body has physically been through so much trauma, I often wonder how I have survived it all. Yesterday I had the pleasure of picking up Recker from school. My Heavenly Father knew I needed this sweet boy in my life, he was born just […]
Why Kindness?
Why choose kindness? This seems like a redundant question, but in a world where so many are struggling between choosing right or wrong I’m grateful I learned at a young age how to pray for guidance. I have learned throughout life that my day is […]
