Sometimes we forget to pause and look at the beauty around us. These magnificent photos reminded me how awe-inspiring nature can be. I hope these images bring happiness to your day.

How do you take time to enjoy beauty in your day?

My Tips for Everyday Survival

I've recently written a chapter in the book, You Will Overcome. In my chapter, I list several tips that will help you get through each day when you're struggling.

Here is a sampling of my tips:

1. No matter what, keep moving forward. Take one problem at a
time and conquer it. Don’t overwhelm yourself.
2. Always dress up as if you’re going to a party. If you look good,
you feel good.
3. If you have to cry, do it and get it over with. Then enjoy the day.

Hope these are helpful!

Welcome

Hi Everyone!

Very excited to introduce my new blog to you. I'm hoping this can be an interactive, positive experience for us all. The main topic of this blog will be lupus, kidney disease (dialysis), and heart disease. As I have gone through each of these diseases since 1986, I have learned a thing or two about these challenges.

Come and enjoy this journey with me! We don't know where we will end up, but let's fun have along the way.
