I behaved badly

April 8, 2014 I ran into this guy recently at my favorite cafe. Snowman at the beach!   What a fun and unexpected treat.  I even took a chunk from his slightly melting feet to throw to my dog, who, unlike me, loves the snow.  He smiled as he chewed on it  (Someone had brought […]

Concerned about WiFi Exposure?

March 14, 2014   How about these longer days, huh?  I’m loving them, because it’s especially warm and sunny in Santa Cruz right now.  I’ve got a happy, wet, beached-out dog lying next to me 🙂   I know the winter has been hard for some of you, so I hope there are some signs […]

I love The Voice!

February 28, 2014   Before my confession, I want to express my thanks for all the kind words I received after my last newsletter in which I shared about my search for love – thank you!  (Click to read about Lovesickness in case you missed it)  I’m finding that the more open and vulnerable and […]

Lovesickness

February 14, 2014 I want to delve into something personal here. I’m a little leery to be so vulnerable, but here goes…. I’ve been searching for love all my life.

Could You Use A Little Encouragement? Help For The Hard Days

I encounter a lot of people in my line of work and lately I’ve been so moved by how hard we all work. We work at becoming better partners or parents or friends or business owners. We work at becoming healthier and more active; we try to eat better, to communicate better, to be a […]

#1 Missed Diagnosis in Women

For a long time I knew something was physically wrong with me but I didn’t know what it was.   I was tired, tired, tired, and I just couldn’t make my brain work!  I used all of the tools of my trade to figure this out, and those of my colleagues, yet nothing was working. […]

Chemical Sensitivity

Boy, did I get ticked off this week.  A building in which I work was being painted.  Not just some run-of-the-mill smelly paint job, but some super-toxic resinous material.  It started wafting in through the air conditioning vent and my patient and I couldn’t leave the room fast enough!  I went home with a sore […]
