As I’ve written in the last several posts, I’ve been experiencing a terrible flare that I haven’t been able to shake. I’ve already been to my rheumatologist for a work-in and made med adjustments – which will help eventually – and hit this with everything I know to do. Still it has gotten worse. And… Read more

Today, a post from an oil friend has me a bit flustered. This post, in response to a coffee mug that said “Jesus + Lexapro”, told the story of someone who repented for having taken Lexapro, decided to use oils and pray instead, and, in closing, said, “You are worth more! Jesus is the way… Read more

Well, y’all, it’s time for us to have a middle of the night chat while I listen to The Family Stone and drink my hot chocolate (and, of course, I’m wearing my best tacky Christmas cardigan too).

It has been an exhausting week (and my body is crying uncle) so today was absolutely 100% set aside for bedrest and catchup work that could be done there – nutrition school, Young Living, Gameplan class, Daniel Plan group. Much to do. As I was cleaning off an old flash drive I found to use… Read more

In case you missed it, this past Tuesday was World Mental Health Day: I intended to post about it on that day but it actually has worked out in that the post I was meant to write could only come today – I’ll explain shortly – so, for now, we’ll just call this Spoonie Standard… Read more

As I posted a few days ago, come hell or high water, my daughter and I were determined to make it to a rally for our Democratic candidate for Senate, Doug Jones, in our statewide special election. Since many of my readers aren’t from my state, Alabama, let me give just a quick overview of… Read more
