Today there were so many things accomplished business wise I’m excited. However there isn’t anything magical to share. Nothing outstanding really. Or more noteworthy than I’ve shared in the past… Time at the computer. Time at the bank. Time on the phone with John Solomon and John Mark. And suddenly. Well, suddenly all the work we’ve done up till today has accumulated and is Continue Reading »

There are days. And then there are days. Today there was a day. Really, to be exact, a couple hours in the evening.
Being divorced with 8 kids tends to force a lot of contact with ones ex. And if said “ex” is shall we say, difficult well then things can get difficult. In the last few months he’s been becoming “difficult”. Why? <Shrug>
I thought to myself tonight, more than I have in a while, about how to consul my children about marriage. It really is a matter of grave importance. One that they shouldn’t take lightly. And then I Continue Reading »

Started my day with Cal explaining the interactive game he plays through the internet. He has 54 friends. It’s called Roblox and he loves it. Possibly a little too much at times, but then John Mark, my oldest, was the same way and he isn’t any worse for the wear and frankly his computer skills amaze me.
After my shower Cal, Grace, and I went to the bank and opened a business checking account for Free the Mind Productions. Exciting! Another step in the “business direction”. While at the bank Continue Reading »

Today was Blessing’s, my oldest daughter, last day at the house. Tomorrow she will be sleeping in her own apartment for the first time. She picks up the U-Haul at 10 a.m. and will be moving the big furniture pieces with a guy friend. Today we moved a bunch of the smaller items by packing her father’s SUV full from behind the front seats to the very back. A time that was tough for here, the poor thing is having such a hard time. She wants to leave and then she doesn’t. She cried a lot last night so we watched a movie together. We watched “Everbody’s Fine”, which she wanted to rent. Of course that made her cry the entire way through. I wasn’t sure if it was a good choice or not, but at the end she said she really liked that movie a lot. Then she said, “You said you blogged about my Continue Reading »

I think I’ve mentioned this before…in the process of healing an individual goes up and down, as they progress up toward their healing. So long as they are working toward said healing, the process goes upward, as it dips up and down. Get it???
Today Zac was on a “down”. I noticed the drawn look and washed out color in his face immediately upon picking him up for his Naturopath appointment. He mentioned how tired he was on the way Continue Reading »

Today.
Another appointment for Zac. With his Urologist. I like this guy. He’s great. He takes no flak, is direct if necessary, and yet gentle and compassionate with Zac. At any rate the ultra sound was performed and were set into our little exam room to wait. First we Continue Reading »

In the care and feeding of Zac to return his kidney function to wonderful, we are daily doing many things on many levels to address his physical needs as I have addressed in prior posts. What I haven’t discussed is the care for his emotional and psychological health. Sickness occurs on more than the physical level. It also includes the emotional and psychological levels. We care for his emotional needs by keeping his environment peaceful, loving, and Continue Reading »
