Even long before M.S., my life was nuts. Of course it was all due to my own choosing; it’s definitely my own fault. I push myself to extremes – to be the best, to have the best, to do the most and do it the fastest. I’ve written before about my path to reinvention, my [...]

I heard the phrase “Turning back the Odometer” earlier this week in a reference to turning back the hands of time on one’s ever-aging life. I’d like my wrinkles’ odometer pushed back to zero – absolutely! Especially the ones around my mouth and my eyes from the years of smiling like a little devil.
Some [...]

It’s funny how movies, solely designed to entertain, can also give us “Ah-ha!” moments at the same time. I love Julia Roberts, because she has big teeth, a loud laugh, and of course – depending on the day – she even has red hair. I truly loved her performance in Runaway Bride. If you’re not [...]

We do it all the time, unless we’re naturally wealthy. We rob Peter to pay Paul. We do it in order to pay our bills – choosing to the buy generic milk over the brand name that is pennies more. Those of us who live paycheck to paycheck may forego paying the cell phone bill [...]

Do you remember “The Monster at the End of this Book”, where the loveable Grover was afraid to turn each page of the book? If so, you’ll recall that he was afraid of the monster that was supposed to be behind each and every page. It turned out that his fear was irrational because he [...]

I’ve been accused of possessing the inability to be spontaneous. I disagree. I’ve been known to walk around the office, telling my staff to head home early without any planning or forethought. I’ve been known to tell everyone to drop everything they’re doing because we’re having pizza delivered in for a surprise lunch. I’ve even [...]

“When my ten-gallon hat’s a feelin’ five-gallons flat… I hanker for a hunka cheese. When my get-up-and-go has got up and went… I hanker for a hunka, a slab, a slice, a chunka…I hanker for a hunka cheese.”
If you were alive in the 70’s you must remember “Time for Timer” and his television public service [...]

During a recent interview with Erie Times-News reporter, David Bruce, who was writing a piece on my M.S. diagnosis and this blog, Dave asked me: “So, Kim, what do you get out of this [writing the blog]?” One of my answers to him was that I find writing to be very therapeutic. Many people journal [...]

I’m not one for New Year’s Resolutions, despite being a very goal-oriented person. I don’t make them because I’ve never really been successful at keeping them. But, I have been known to set a “theme” for some years. Last year was “the Year of Learning to be a Girlfriend.” And, I spent the whole year working [...]
