Raising Awareness About Life

With Water and Fortitude

With Water and Fortitude

August 13, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 5 comments

The “What Cats Do” Book Tag

The “What Cats Do” Book Tag

August 12, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 3 comments

If there are two things you should know about me by now, it’s that I love cats and I love books! And as a blogger, there’s nothing like a good book tag to have fun with when the rest of my brain isn’t working. A tag that combines cats and books is a rare treat!…

Planning Through the Brain Fog

August 6, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 14 comments

When you have a medical condition like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which affects the blood flow to your brain, or even conditions like fibromyalgia or Lyme Disease, using your brain to its fullest potential becomes a daunting and often maddeningly frustrating task. As I’ve written in the past, brain fog isn’t the occasional…

July Book Haul

July 31, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 5 comments

All blurbs are from Goodreads. I picked two books from Book of the Month this month. The Child by Fiona Barton (2017). I’m not much into suspense novels, but this one sounds pretty intriguing. “As an old house is demolished in a gentrifying section of London, a workman discovers a tiny skeleton, buried for years….

Inside the Mind of a Sick Person

Inside the Mind of a Sick Person

July 28, 2017 ribbonrx Comments 1 comment

“What do sick people think about? How do you know when you start to be a sick person?” This statement by author Nina Riggs in her memoir, The Bright Hour, was spoken when she woke up one morning shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. When I read it, it gave me pause….
