I plan to devote this blog primarily to sharing my journey of keeping my life with my husband simple and fun, and focused on making as many positive memories as we possibly can! I have been very caught up, the last few years, in trying to "find" my "purpose"- and have devoted large amounts of time and money in that pursuit- and am coming back around with a strong sense that the only thing I should be doing at this time in my life is living each day WITH purpose, and enjoying the life I have.
My husband and I have been married for nearly 17 years (in April). He is a 6+ year survivor of an aggressive form of early prostate cancer. He has taken radical steps with diet and supplementation, and is LIVING proof that what you put in does make a difference! In fact, we had one doctor tell us that he was surprised to even see him still alive. We refuse to accept defeat- and we appreciate all prayers! Instead, we plan to travel and enjoy life together. Stay "posted"!
UPDATE: We are attempting to raise funds to help get George to a

Stepping Stone #3- "Love Others as Jesus Loves You". Here are some suggestions the author lays out as a "Sojourner's Guide to Loving Others":
Confession time: I sometimes struggle with the whole concept of loving others, because I am not a huge "people person", and I often have a critical dialogue going in my head when dealing with people that are "difficult" or "annoying" to me. So, this chapter was a bit of a challenge to me- and will continue to be. I know it to be true. Personally, I had done some emotional pulling away on several levels, and am forcing myself to reconnect in areas that I am really internally resisting. I've got some hurt inside that has created a bit of a hardened heart, so I am hoping that will soften the more I open back up emotionally with some relationships in my life. Guess I need to forgive?? 
On another note- I am reading another book simutaneously (often have about 4 going at once!) entitled: Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I've only read the introduction, and already it's REALLY good!
I started a water aerobics class and a water back strengthening class (back to back classes on Mon/Wed). I LOVE THEM! I was splashing around in the warm therapy pool with a group of other women of various ages, shapes, and sizes, and thought- this is fun! this is like a TREAT! Then after my 2 classes, I soaked in the hot tub for a few minutes. ahhh, bliss. I do need to get water shoes, though, because I am a bit of a "bean pole" and I was having a hard time keeping myself on the bottom of the pool and not floating up!! I need ankle weights or something!! haha!
