Monday Reflections: Taking a leap of faith
Stress. It's a six-letter word that can cause a great deal of damage. For most of last year, it was something that encompassed my life. I was stretched thin at work. I felt exhausted, but somehow I couldn't sleep. The lack of rest gave me headaches and made me feel dizzy all the time. I … Continue reading Monday Reflections: Taking a leap of faith

Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster
A fun-filled night out with friends. A few good smiles and laughs. Some heartbreaking news. Some sorrow-filled tears. Whatever the reason. Whatever the cause. The memories still haunt. The monster still lingers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been seizure free for 15 months now. It's a length of time that I thought I would never see again, but … Continue reading Monday Reflections: Lingering Monster
Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six
Twenty-six people living ordinary lives. Some learning to walk for the very first time. Others with wrinkles around their eyes. All filled with dreams waiting to be realized. Then, one of those twenty-six is caught off guard. Their greens turned red. Their ups turned upside down. Their life taken away by a silent, electrical terrorist. … Continue reading Monday Reflections: One in twenty-six
