The Chronicles of Ascites

It is obvious I have reached a place where I haven’t enjoyed writing about what is happening.  Not sure why.  One voice says it is important to keep the blog up to date at least weekly for my angel friends who are praying and watching over me and another voice says “if you don’t feel [...]

Today is my son’s [...]

Alexander Rapp

The Body Speaks

5/4/09
My growing edge continues to be my level of self- care. Months ago I was told to rest and sleep more, yet I would not consider changing my schedule of driving to Honolulu on Mondays and Thursdays to be with Sky and friends at Unity Church of Hawaii. It is a one hour oceanside [...]
