Last Stop on the Pain Train…

“I wanted to die…I just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up,” the Viet Nam vet said, as his voice cracked and eyes filled with tears. It still shocks me when I hear those words come from someone with chronic pain…though I have heard it enough over the years that I should be […]

The_Freak_Show

CRASH! “Mumble mumble…” (that wasn’t exactly what I uttered when I knocked the glass to the tile floor with my elbow, but you get the gist). “So this is how my week is going to start…bring it!” I thought, as 7am Monday morning greeted me with shards of glass on my kitchen floor. Immediately I […]

Just think of how many choices you make in a day: you choose what clothes to wear (sexy dress or Mom jeans…hmmm…)… what food to put in your body (trust me, body, you’ll thank me for choosing spinach instead of ice cream someday)… what music to listen to (when in doubt, disco never lets me […]

LOL), she’s dancing up a storm…she’s a gorgeous, young, fiery ball of energy. When I started working with […]
