I grew up in a small town. Not Mayberry but close. I’ve done a lot of things in my life, and I’ve seen a lot. My greatest accomplishment is my wonderful son, who is the reason I’m a healthcare professional today. I hope to share some knowledge, and a few war stories with the hopes it promotes meaningful dialogues
Covid19 – can’t hide from it. It’s everywhere now. As a medical professional I feel the need to say a few things beyond the obvious. Social distancing is our new norm and personal protection is key, but some of you are clearly not experienced with some of the […]

Okay, so my physical body is still here, but my spirit died today. I’m only 6, I’m supposed to be playing with dolls, and riding my bike. Oh how I love to ride my bike! I was very excited to be a “big girl” and ride my pink […]
“In my area we are experiencing a measles outbreak. Up to 40 cases and climbing. Couple that with a deadly flu virus and its a healthcare nightmare.”
I don’t usually blog about politics. There are some great people who do that that are part of this site, but things going on in the political arena have me thinking. I grew up in a small town, not quite Mayberry but it sure seemed that way back […]
