Life After Life? An Out of Body, Mystical Experience?
September 15, 2020 Years ago, my job was stressful, my kids were young, and my husband not always pleasant. At that time, I started meditating. It helped with my stress management.

Covid-19 Follow Up, Part 3
July 22, 2020 Today, I realize that 2 months passed since I wrote Big Bad Covid-19. Shortly after, the Governor issued an order for facilities of our kind to be tested for the virus. Interestingly enough, it took quite a while for the order to take effect. We waited for weeks. Most of us wanted to…

Big Bad Covid-19, Part 2 of 3
May 20, 2020 When did the human race become so fearful of the flu? Throughout the times, we had plenty. More or less, one flu virus every year. Some strains were bad and killed millions. Some strains were mild and killed only in the tens of thousands. But year in and year out, people die…

Old Wisdom Versus Today’s Science on Wound Healing
April 11, 2021 For years, I used a well-known antiseptic ointment to protect any little wounds. It seemed to work… somewhat.

Daddy in the Delivery Room?
September 16, 2020 My generation was the first allowing fathers in the delivery room. When I gave birth to my kids, it was all the rage. Women were happy to flaunt the suffering endured while giving birth. It was all about equality. It was high time men realized what women were going through and sharing…

Nail Fungus? What Nail Fungus?
January 16, 2019 For years, a big toenail bothered me. It was ugly. The doctor said it was nail fungus. There are medications that the doctor could have prescribed, but he advised against them. He mentioned liver damage as a potential side effect to these medications. Was I willing to risk my liver for an…

Depressions, Panic Attacks, Night Terrors, and Rock Rose
August 11, 2019 My first depression was a post-partum one. An ugly thing. My thoughts were dangerous. I could not see my way out. I had to sleep with lights on… when I could sleep. I went to the doctor when I started believing that my children would be better dead than alive. I wanted…
