dancing through life – on broken feet

I've got to keep the calm before the storm I don't want less, I don't want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore And my voice becomes the driving force... Continue Reading →
As I wrote in my previous post, I got REALLY sick earlier this month and will be on IV therapy for the next several weeks as I continue to heal. I went septic - which I'm still shaken over - and, earlier this evening, I saw this article, which hasn't helped my feelings: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/sepsis-now-bigger-killer-cancer-21295621?fbclid=IwAR2bej6E8qMtiMmngnfNLawPXfQaSBiQjp9ac_v7lEL_j_CTpGNd9I0qFaI Apparently,...

Still, what an amazing attempt. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/25/explorer-henry-worsley-dies-during-antarctic-record-attempt It is also... Continue Reading →
Yesterday just beat me down six ways to Sunday. My new doc was very kind - but full of not-great-news. Questions about why my hips are falling apart with a different kind of arthritis?

I've started working on my book. . . so I've started doing lots and lots of thinking. . . Since my book deals with illness and body changes and size and health and weight loss and body image, there is so much to consider. As I was drafting the introduction, some things came to mind...
