I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

By Julie May 15, 2008 3:21pm 2 Comments

JulieC

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

Vitamin D and Me

By Dr. Orrange May 15, 2008 10:12am 6 Comments

DrOrrange

Vitamin D is readily available through sun exposure and as a supplement yet there are new reasons to believe we are not getting as much Vitamin D as we need. Vitamin D deficiency can be discovered on a blood test done by your physician and is defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels < 20 to 30 ng/mL. Depending on the age group and season we ...

Grieving Mother's Day

By Julie May 9, 2008 11:36pm 40 Comments

JulieC

This will be the second Mother's Day without my mother and I am noticing a trend. About mid-April it starts - the commercials, the billboards, and newspaper ads collectively describing the "perfect" gift to give or place to go for Mother's Day. At first I felt a slight twinge of sadness, but being the well trained therapist that I ...

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Sad story

I have been doing fine healing from a very abusive relationship. Meet a FEMALE FRIEND BACK IN MAY 2007 listened to her sobs stories the next thing I know I was being harassed, stalked, and slandered. Successfully got a restraining order from this person but she thinks she's above the law. Florida law for punishing people like her is painstakingly slow. I think she know...

I have been busy all week as all disability groups and disability workshops and forums are going on lately. I went to a Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Day at our local Parliament and they officially declared Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Day on Monday May 12 and in the Parliament Media Room they recorded a 15 minute film clip with a lawyer and person with FM/ME and a Dr. wh...

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A General Update story

I have had 2 - yes 2 good days and in a row at that. I have been able to get out and do and get some house work done. IT IS AMAZING! Sure I had to take a vicodine to help my back pain but I felt like I was living again! The sun is out (amazing for WA) and we are going to have record heat this week. Watch out pool - here come my pasty white legs!

Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Sad story

I'm at a loss here. I have been upsetting my wife alot lately, and for that I am truly sorry. I have never meant to do anything of the sort. I know exactly what I did that upset her, and apologized for it. But now, I know I didn't do anything wrong, and just wanted to see her at lunch, but she wants me to leave her alone. I don't know what else to do except tell her I love her and tha...

I am so lazy

Friday, May 16, 2008

Alright, its one of those days were I just want to sit around and do nothing. Too bad there is a ton of laundry and dishes that I have to do. Ugh, I hate days like these. I didn't start the day off right when I ate a ho-ho. Damn. This truly is going to be a chalenge having more snacks in the house. (My family recently told me that I don't buy enough snacks). Well my deal is, if its i...

Thursday - with an intermission

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A General Update story

Well the fight for custody has begun. I filed the paperwork this morning, saw a judge this afternoon, and got a court order keeping the lil one in the home and allowing visitation for the mother as long as I'm in at least the next room over. So no more worries about a mother that passes out at random trying to care for this child at least.
The down side is still no word from the mo...
