The past two weeks I’ve been seeing a nutritionist.
My name is Lynda and I’m a food addict.
But seriously, I am in the category of “obese” according to my BMI. This is not a good thing.
I weigh 69 lbs MORE than I did when I GAVE BIRTH to my last child.
I’m horrified!
I’m embarrased!
I’m ashamed [...]

No matter what situations life throws at you… no matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem…
Remember, there is a light at the end of tunnel!
You’re laughing, aren’t you?

A few days after getting my pathology report, and after playing phone tag with Dr. K. (who is also T.’s dad), I spoke with Dr. K and read him the report and he offered to help in any way he could. (Bless him God, I mean it!) I told him that I wanted to know [...]

I read the pathology report to my husband and he agreed that the words ”follicular carcinoma” were bad. He told me he loved me and that we would get through this together. I cried. Then I called my aunt and told her the news. She’s a nurse and I wanted to get her educated opinion on what [...]

A few weeks ago, due to some suspicious cysts and nodules noted in my thyroid during an ultrasound and, later, a nuclear scan, my doctor sent me for a biopsy of my thyroid. This is a rather painful procedure during which you are totally awake while a interventional radiologist numbs your neck and thyroid and then proceeds to repeatedly [...]

At the end of 7th grade, when I was 13 years old, my mom picked me up from school and told me we were leaving my dad. A few months later they were divorced. Though my mom was always careful to accept her role in the breakup of their marriage, their divorce was due mostly to my father’s alcoholism and [...]

My husband loves planes, trains and automobiles. If it has horsepower, he’s into it. He has gone through phases with each one, but his most recent passion is trains. He has an N-scale model train and layout that takes up one entire room of our house. He spends a lot of time in the “train room” working and [...]

Many years ago, it seems like a different lifetime actually, my best friend’s family and my family would often spend weekends at each other’s homes. It was a nice time to catch up, play games and talk about whatever was on our hearts, as we lived 100 miles apart and didn’t have the day to [...]

The spring before I graduated from high school I got engaged to a nice guy (L.) who I married six short months later. During the months between meeting him and marrying him I tried to learn some “wifely” things like cooking. His mom was an excellent cook, having mastered meal preparation for a family of [...]

These photos were taken at The Boulders in Cave Creek, Arizona one afternoon late in December. I was fortunate to be shooting during the late afternoon as the sun started to go down. The colors were stunning!

During a trip to Papago Park in Phoenix I noticed this hole in the rock at the top of a hill. Though I didn’t have the proper shoes on to be hiking, I decided that it was worth a look and trudged up this small mountain. There was only a short amount of time to take [...]
