I recently made a small graphic “button” or link to our site that people who appreciate it can put on their sites. These are becoming increasingly popular among bloggers. Ours looks like this: If you want people to easily be able to put your button on their sites and link back to you, it is [...]

As I have been going to see specialists to figure out why I have been fainting they have come across another problem I have. I went to see an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor) and he was concerned over the number of allergies I have. We had wondered if that could cause me to [...]

In Utah there are LDS themed books in every store. Outside of the Beehive state – not so much. Walk into Walmart in “Happy Valley” and you may be greeted with a display of Gerald N. Lund books. Leave “Zion” and the Brother Lund aisle is replaced with “African American Interests”. For some reason whenever [...]

I had the Tilt Table Test today. I hardly slept last night as I kept thinking about the last time I had fainted and had been taken to the hospital by ambulance because I wasn’t coming to. My first thought when I woke up this morning was I am going to faint today and I [...]

And as a single adult you just want it to be over. I’ve never cared that much about Valentines day. I still don’t. But [...]

I’ve had problems with fainting since August and was taken by ambulance a few weeks ago when I passed out at my Grandmother’s viewing. They have told me not to drive until they figure out what is going on. That leaves me living in Utah far from any public transportation or walking distance of anything [...]

“You will always be a victim until you forgive”, declares Stephen R. Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families. What a statement.
