IHOP Stop
Well, we survived last weekend’s adventure…but I still have to tell you about the IHOP stop! Abbey and I were dreaming BIG about having a meal in peace and uninterrupted. Remember how we were parched after the water was sadly dumped in the fancy fountain at The Orpheum? That life-giving (and keeping Sal’s UTIs away)…

Daughter and Mother Day Out!
Most of you who know me know I am living with ALS and have been blessed with a slow progression. It has been 14 years of deterioration of my body. I have transformed from a 6 foot tall athletic woman to a 4 foot Humpty Dumpty in a wheelchair. I imagine myself as an ogre…

SOB!
Gotcha! I have not been changing teams to the dark side! Recently I had a great time with SOB. It made this old girl in the scoot get some self esteem back. My daughter was with me along with Lauren and Zuri. I know front row students are aghast. Ms. Alley is taking a walk…

I Still Miss You…
I think I am figuring out why I have been losing medulla as in oblongata. I’m desperately seeking a Papa Smurf, Ratz (I was his Paparazzi and he was Ratz), Poppy, or MSH (My Sweet Husband.) Also, I am in another ALS decline. I don’t wanna look the Beast in the eyes. I have to…

Six Years Ago
The times are a changing. My wonderful father died at 11 pm on my birthday, June 3rd. This time of year I am weepy and emotional and then I remember why. He comes to my mind every May and June. I think of him even more than the usual once a day. The wonderful memories…

57th Trip!
In my mind lately I have had long periods of time not feeling well in my body and spirit. ALS has plateaus and valleys. There are no longer any peaks. You know, students, growing stronger physically. If you are blessed with time, you can adapt with technology, Thanks be to God. I recently went on…

Woman of God
This Lent I discovered this prayer from Mother Olga of the religious order founder and servant mother of the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth. This prayer will stay on my lips until my last breath, “Empty me. Fill me. Use me.” It cleanses my heart. It fills me with the Holy Spirit. Most importantly it…
