I’m wearing a new badge of honour. It’s on my deltoid muscle that bulges round as the curve of a mango. I trained and worked hard to earn it and I’m proud to display it. I’ve been told it looks silly, displaying such a tattoo.
It sits in strong contrast against my tanned arm and says, ‘MS 24 HR...

Well, almost.
Crisis Line Counseling Seminar feels like going back to school.
First day in class and I already love it!
I am so happy I pushed myself to do this.
I was hesitant in the beginning but I am always hesitant when deciding to try something new.
I have to come prepared, sit still and...

I ran my first race today. The distance was short but the anxiety leading up to the day of the event caused me a few sleepless nights.
“You’re over reacting mom, relax.” When I think about running a race, I think about accomplishment. I did not know what to expect and I did not...
