About Hearing Implants
On Wednesday, I volunteered for Cochlear Americas. I don’t believe I’ve talked about this on the blog before, so let me give you some history. I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a chronic illness called Auto-Immune Inner Ear Disease. I’ve talked about the vertigo and the treatment I’ve had; however, on my 21st [...]
A Rollercoaster Week
It’s been an interesting week. Previously this week I posted about my paintings, and I am so glad that I did. There have been some really low lows and some really high points in the past two days. You might want to grab a cup of coffee or tea for this long entry! Let me [...]
Friday Morning Pondering – Some soapboxing
I am at the heart, a feminist. I believe that women have the passion, empathy, creativity and the heart to restore compassion to the world. Here in the States, we have so much. And yet, there are so many here without – men, women and children. In other parts of the world it’s even more [...]
More painting and Support A Place to Bark
I am still painting! The painting to the left is far from finished, but it’s moving along and I thought I’d share it. It feels good to be creative and to paint. I’ve got one more primed and ready, and a third drawn out. I’m on a roll and going with it. Tomorrow is my [...]
What a difference a day makes
Today I woke up this morning feeling SO much better! I’m a bit off balance, but I was finally able to move from my den to the studio. It was like a reunion with a long lost friend. Comfortable immediately, and filled with excitement. I completed the painting I showed you the other day and [...]
Change of Plans
Thanks to those of you who hoped I had a good treatment today. However, my cold has not subsided. I thought I was on the mend on Saturday, but it turns out that I’m actually in the thick of it. We’ve had to push back my treatment until I am better. When you’re on immunosuppressive [...]
New Year
It’s a new year. I’m hopeful that this year will be even more creative than last. But until yesterday, I was frozen. It’s not a normal thing for me. But there was a lot going on in my life and I just wasn’t able to start working on anything. I’ve done some art journaling and [...]
Coming out of the fog
Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes about health. The treatments are every 4 weeks and I’m thankful that they continue to keep my vertigo at bay and to keep the hearing in my “good ear” at a very high functioning level most of the month. It’s worth it to be “grounded” in [...]
A meme
This meme was on Leah’s blog. In catching up with blogs, I thought it was a good post for this morning before I get back to my sewing! Do you own a gun? No freakin’ way! What do you think of hot dogs? EW. Not a fan. What do you prefer to drink in the [...]
Prescott, AZ Girls’ Weekend
Late yesterday I returned from a lovely trip with Angie. We went away for our first (of what we expect to be many!) girls’ weekend. Prescott is about 90 miles north of Phoenix. It’s a fairly easy drive and there’s some great views. Before we got on the road, I pulled a bag out of [...]
