Had Better Days…
It’s been just over a week now since O-day. Overall, everything seems good in terms of the healing. I’m still generally off the pain meds, but still taking some arnica montana 30c a few times throughout the day. However, the mood the last couple of days has been less than stellar. Probably, my insides are…

Health: Hysterectomy Post-Op Week 1
This picture pretty much expresses how I have been moving the past week. Tomorrow will be one week post-hysterectomy-operation. Today, at Day 7 (surgery day = Day 1), I feel pretty good, all things considered. It’s the first day that I have taken a mere 5 pellets of 30c arnica montana and nothing else. So,…

Health: Fibroids Update Part 2 & Hysterectomy
Well, at the end of my last update just over a month ago, I promised to keep this space informed. Since things happened quickly in between other life activities, I am writing now at home – post operation. First, let me just say to women, who have had c-sections and then needed to care for…

Freeing the Mind – A little…
It’s been a busy week to kick off the new month of May. Every day, I find myself saying that it’s temporary or that in a couple of weeks it will be slower. Yet, I have finally accepted – yes, just today after all these years! – that each day is a game of balance…

Path to Writing
I’m sitting here with a stack of printed pages that mark various expressions of my written work. One is a draft of the poetry book I want to publish, but need to read them to find themes and possibly re-order or reword. The other is a mere 82 pages of my novel that is finally…

More Braids!
I know…I just can’t help myself. Back in October, I did what I really thought was the last time of braids since they lasted about two weeks before I got annoyed by the look, etc. The problem, or problems are, is that I get bored easily with my hair and look. My philosophy that hair…

Mama & Me – May 17~June 2, 2023
It was a quick 17 days spent with my mom in Italy and southern France. We got to do a mother-daughter road trip from our place in Orvieto to Cinque Terre to a spa stay in Bordighera before using our place in Lorgues for a few nights to see the Mediterranean coast that makes the…
