Just when you think you can live in your mind all day worried about the stuff you have no control over anyway, a vomiting child pulls you back into the present moment.
This is my girl crumpled on the chair in my office. I was behind all morning as I ran between my patients and her. [...]

I’m fascinated with the way light and dark can stand side by side and complement each other. A small little metaphor for my life right now. I took these on the plane allowing only the reading light to illuminate our space. It gave it a spiritual quality don’t you think?

I haven’t always loved salmon. When I was growing up I we mostly ate the fish we caught which was a lot of bass and trout. Occasionally my parents would have salmon particularly if we went out to eat, but I avoided tasting it thinking it would be too fishy. One day I [...]

Good Morning- Shhh… it’s 5:25am  here on a Monday morning in Guam and the day is about to start. The coffee is done but it’s waiting for me to pour that cup. It’s not a Cafe Mocha but it’ll do.
I’m sinking back into my routine. I’ve been calling it Operation Re-entry”. I was [...]

Oh my gosh it’s so good to be home. No sooner than 5 minutes in the car and all three started arguing. But it felt good and familiar.
I’ve already begun the reprioritizing. My writing course has been put on hold until february and the new position as historian/photographer for the officer spouses club? Yeah I [...]

Are you kidding me? I tried. Between last week and today [...]

Not today- today we took my little guy back to the lab and had another 20cc drawn out in an attempt to narrow down just what is going on! No camera on this little mission. I didn’t need to memorialize his tears. We’ll meet with the specialists tomorrow for the results of his biopsy- Is [...]

Hi everyone! Today was another lovely day meandering around the island. Here is just one of the photos I promised. Jake with the birds didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted and I spent too long tinkering in Photoshop without a decent results! Shoot!!
But this one I really liked and again I changed [...]
