My Andy finally found his Anne

June 18, 2017

My mom made me a Raggedy  Anne and Andy when I was a girl. I loved them both and they were in my room as a child and a teenager. They reminded me of my mothers love for me. The love of my mother and father and grandmother and grandfather. When I was married at the tender age of 18 years old. They came with me.  They were set aside as my life as a wife, mother and grandmother continued. I found myself as a divorced mom after almost 25 years of marriage. With the move and  craziness of a new life, my Anne was lost. I am not sure where or how. As children have grown and left the roost and  I was able to have and office of my own . Andy found his own special place in my office. I kept wondering if Anne would show up. But she hasn’t and I have often wondered where she was. I have felt bad that I didn’t take better care of her. My mom had put so much time into them both. My mom is in Heaven and I cherish the things the she hand stitched. I was needing

Which one are you?

April 16, 2017

Which child are you in this picture? This Easter day I had the privilege of teaching 5 year olds in primary.  The Primary is an organized program of religious instruction and activity in the LDS church for children eighteen months of age until 12 years old. My husband and I were team teaching and I asked one boy which one he would be and act it out. He chose the boy folding his arms, another chose the one with the goat, and the only girl in the class chose the girl sitting at Jesus’s feet. They all got in their positions and looked at me with their big eyes as I asked them, “If you could ask Jesus any question, what would it be?” The beautiful 5 year old girl asked with all sincerity, “Am I good enough?” Another boy said,”Ya I haven’t been very good” then she said,”Ya , sometimes I just do bad things” The  other boy said that he didn’t know what he would ask. As I look at this picture I believe I have been all of these children, and with tears in my eyes I told them that I hadn’t been very good either. But

Happy Girl …has a secret

February 14, 2017

Yes this Happy girl has a secret to being happy. These are crucial for this girl recovering from cancer treatments. My Lymphoma doctor recommends these! I am not kidding! I haven’t had to have anything for depression but these. He told me to stay away from synthetic caffeine. For reals  I can’t tell you how these really help me. I was really needing Excedrin every day before these. I had to stop taking it before cancer treatments. It was so painful! The pain  I felt from going off Excedrin was amazing! Body aches and leg aches were almost unbearable.  That is good stuff! I feel like this is a much healthier alternative, though I don’t condemn anyone taking excedrin every day. Excedrin contains a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin is in a group of drugs called salicylates. It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. This is my alternative. I keep it in my personal refrigerator in my master bath. I take one upon arising every morning. I feel happy and in love! That is good for everyone around me! I can wake

Yes! A Short Haircut Will Do

February 8, 2017

I just came across this in my documents, I wrote this 7-8-15. This is before I knew what kind of cancer experience I was going to have. The doctors believed that I wasn’t going to live more than a week. I went to the musical,”Cats” with my girlfriends at BYU-I, and Jim stayed home and called Huntsman’s Hospital and the made arrangements that saved my life. I am smiling to myself, the part that says, “A short haircut will do” I had no idea what that really meant. Yes, I am 52  years old, and a short haircut will do! I am alive and I am living life and loving it. Jim never changes, he is my rock, he is the mashed potatoes and I am the gravy!    The surgeon reads a very long CT scan report I feel dizzy and find it hard to breath There is nothing he can do There is a foreign growth around all my organs and I need them It is most likely cancer. Does this means a slow death or get well soon? The only way to get rid of it is to shrink it. I am tired, but I think I

Compare and Contrast

February 1, 2017

I just finished several  life changing experiences. My mom died, I went through a divorce after 24 years of marriage, then I remarried a family friend with 9 children, (I had given birth to 5 children of my own), my new husband and I started a business together, then my 18 year old son died from influenza, and  then I had stage 4 cancer and survived. Well, I am alive and somehow I am still writing on my blog “I am a happy girl.” I am 52 years old and I made it, so what else can this girl do? We now have 2 children at home and this gal has an opportunity to change the world. I need money to change the world. My goal for 2017 is to create $100,000 for myself and my husband. He deserves someone to take some of the pressure off of him. I have several ideas, I won’t tell you about all of them, but I am doing lots of good stuff.  First, why not see if this 52 year old grandma is still hirable? So in September of 2016 I applied to be a tutor for Boxfish education. It was more of an experiment
