After spending the years from age 16 to age 38 being in and out of various cancer clinics countless times, I've had one or two (or more) thoughts from a cancer clinic. Thoughts about the cancer clinic and thoughts about people in the clinic. Probably too many thoughts to share here in a my blog, …
1906 That is the year my family farm officially began. Hard to believe it's been that long. While I definitely wasn't around for the early years, I have been around for enough of the later years to appreciate the legacy of what my family has built. I so greatly appreciate all the work, hardship and …

Anyone who has played sports or watched sports ever (which includes lots of you I'm sure), might scoff at the idea of sports being good for mental health. Yet many others might inwardly say, “of course it is, you fool!” What I want to focus on is watching sports, after acknowledging that playing sports is …
After all of the years I have spent going through depression, the best descriptor of my journey with depression, is that it was a fog. Yes a fog. Sometimes it was a thick paralyzing fog, and other times it was much less thick, yet still hanging in there. A thick, foggy mess. So disorientating. My …
Resiliency. It's a word we hear more and more, nowadays. But what does it mean? How does it relate to you? How do you know you have it? Do you even want it? What does it do? Why would you want it? How do you get it? So many questions. I will set your expectations …
