My trip to the ER

I see almost never go to the doctor or to the hospital.

Until I last month, when I suddenly did.

I had been asleep for a few hours when I awoke with a pounding heart. It was a uncomfortable, but I wasn’t too worried.

At first.

I got up and went into the bathroom, shutting the door quietly so as not to wake up my husband. I put the light on and waited in vain for it to stop. The pounding continued, twice as fast as my heart should be beating. I took some deep breaths, trying to be calm, still waiting for it to stop.

It didn’t.

Eventually, I realized that I needed help. I woke up my husband.

The last time I had to wake my husband up in the middle of the night to take me to the hospital was when I was pregnant with my second child and my water broke. This occasion wasn’t anything as great as that, but my husband was every bit as heroic. Keep reading

BOOK REVIEW: Freedom through Numbers: by Finding Your “I AM”

I have been looking forward to reading this book, Freedom through Numbers: by Finding Your “I AM” by Darlene Chadbourne, for a long time.

I was not disappointed!

In this book, Darlene gives you the tools and a clear explanation of how to do your own numbers and how to interpret what they mean. This is hands on and fun! She also shares her own midlife journey that will inspire and motivate you. I learned some things about myself (such as: “I’m an overdone 6? Huh. Explains a lot … ) that gave me insight into some patterns of behavior in my life and as it’s been said many times, “Knowledge is power!” This book is about Numerology and so much more. You’ll love it! Keep reading

Infrared Thermometer: Friend or Foe?

Lately, when I’ve been going to medical or dental appointments, I am being confronted with a demand to ‘Just check your temperature real quick’ … as if this is not an invasion of my privacy.  As if this is a mandate rather than a request to perform a medical intervention on me. Sometimes it is not even a medical professional aiming that device at my face, between my eyes.

Why question this?

Anytime anyone tells you they are going to do something to your physical body rather than asks your permission, all the red flags should start waving. All the alarms should begin to go off in you mind. Keep reading
