. Not so long ago, I saw a red Honda on the side of the road with the flashers blinking. I slowed and saw a woman on the passenger’s side. I didn’t want to frighten her but wanted to know if I could help. A little way ahead, I saw a man in his late…
. My daughter is a Mini level all star cheerleader with Green Bay Fusion All Star Cheerleading in Green Bay, WI. In the last week of February we had a competition in Madison. Part of the fun of her competitions is that we get to travel and of course stay in a hotel and swim….
. A few months ago, my friend and I were in the hairdressers. She and I both have disabilities and are in wheelchairs. At the start of my haircut I was told that it would cost me about $80. Not sure how much it cost my friend, but much cheaper. Anyway, at the end of…
. Yesterday I was doing errands and decided to take our dog to a dog park in an area we lived in 10 yrs ago. Needless to say the dog part of the park no longer exists, so I began driving home. Traffic was pretty heavy and all the sudden I saw a man with a cane…
. When you tell someone you spent the morning running amok, you are sure to receive some odd looks. After all, who announces their seemingly uncontrollable behavior with such joy? This is when I wish little speech bubbles would appear above our heads when we talk, so people can see that I’m referencing #AMOK, the…
. I go to many self help meetings and frequent some more than others. Having recently graduated from college as a support counselor, I listen to many people for nothing, just to let them talk. One afternoon after a meeting, I met an occasional friend. I had taken him for coffee once, and said ‘lets go for coffee’.
. I lost my ipad on the way back to Medan from Singapore a few weeks ago. Long story, but basically through pure misunderstanding and accident, the ipad was put in a compartment that was unlocked in a bag that was checked in. Obviously by the time we realised, we were back in Medan and…
.About five years ago I had gone through a period of complete brokenness in my life. I was sick; therefore I had to stop working. As a result of that, I began to lose all that I’d work for. I was at a point in my life where I was trusting in what God told…
. My partner Scott said goodbye to our Manchester Terrier. We lost her to lymphoma – The Wick was her name, and she was our first baby. She really was perfect. Shortly afterwards, we finally became pregnant on our fifth and final IVF cycle. Six months pregnant by September, friends offered us a place to…
. I met Josie in 2007 when we worked together. If race played a factor we would have never jelled as she is Mexican/American and I am white. But she didn’t see anything else in me other than someone who needed a friend. Something that our modern day society sometimes seems oblivious to.
. We have been raising money since Christmas as my daughter wants to get enough toys for children who are currently living in a refugee centre due to volcanic activities. She believes every child should have toys to play with, but we are still short of our 5 million rupiah target for our “Toys for kids” project…
. This morning, I was once again reminded that everything happens for a reason. For Christmas, my daughter gave me one of the Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul books. I have been reading it slowly, enjoying it immensely. It has made me laugh and cry. It is a book that I could see…
