I’ve been in a dead space lately. I mean, I’ve had a wonderful launch of my new business, and it was amazing, to say the least. I know I had been speaking about walking away from the bedside for a while, but I literally jumped out on faith and did it. I trust God toContinue reading “Dishonorable Discharge”

Don’t Quit
I’ve been working on several projects since I returned from Texas. I work quietly and try to stay focused even though it may look like I’m doing nothing to others. I am always doing something:) I’ve been working on ways to make passive income, but with things I love. Now here’s the thing about doingContinue reading “Don’t Quit”
Hard Times
Something happened and it had me feeling emotional and off-balance last evening. I went into my colleague’s patient’s room to sign off on medication for his patient. Without thinking, because I’m a helper and not realizing that he was taking care of an end-of-life patient. I stepped into the room and I could hear whatContinue reading “Hard Times”
Do More of Nothing
I have had the privilege of doing absolutely nothing during my vacation. That is what that word means to me. I get to choose to do what I want when I want, how I want. It’s really the reason I go by myself. When you take others with you, and their definition of vacation differsContinue reading “Do More of Nothing”
Leaving the Bedside
I don’t know about anyone else, but being a bedside nurse isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Yes, I will admit that most of us make it look flawless or, at minimum like we’re true superheroes wearing a cape all the time. If only, right? I get it because I prepare for my exitContinue reading “Leaving the Bedside”
Anxiety
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know I suffer from anxiety and, in extreme cases, panic attacks. For the record, there is no shame in acknowledging that. In fact, I’d venture to say, there is so much more right with it than what you think is wrong with it. Let me share somethingContinue reading “Anxiety”
What is Your Emotional Comfort?
I woke up Sunday feeling tired but restless. I climbed out of bed, eventually to start my day. I went downstairs and made something to eat and exchanged words with my oldest son about not doing some things I had asked of him. I often find myself overcome with emotions whenever I get into conflictContinue reading “What is Your Emotional Comfort?”
Dear Momma
Today I celebrate your life and mourn your death. This time two years ago, I remember getting the call that said you had peacefully passed away. I remember listening to the voicemail and feeling this overwhelming numbness. I couldn’t sit still because I would have to feel that pain. Instead, I went about finishing myContinue reading “Dear Momma”
What If God Needed Me
What if God needed me to be the vessel, I could not see myself being with the natural eye? What if my feelings of hopelessness weren’t meant for me to feel defeated but to be enlightened? I often question God as to my purpose and always welcome Him to use me as a vessel. But,Continue reading “What If God Needed Me”
The Importance of “Presence and Touch”
I thought I’d take a moment to stop and talk about how important it is to have a “presence and touch.” Many times we go about our day, and we take for granted our interactions with others. It’s just another day, another hug, another kiss, another look into someone’s eyes until it isn’t. I amContinue reading “The Importance of “Presence and Touch””
