My Lyme Story: For all the talk of finding the root cause, are we never getting to it: belief systems that perpetuate stress and fear?

My Lyme Story: The Mind-Body connection deserves a more prominent look in the causes of chronic illness. Are we hiding the key to healing?

My Lyme Story: How deep does this go? Is Chronic Lyme just the tip of a much bigger iceberg?

My Lyme Story: Here I had it - the brain region responsible for all my problems, past and present. ADD, Depression, psychiatric Lyme

My Lyme Story: Total Depravity. With a mind like that, how could I NOT get an illness that destroys the entire body? Total Autoimmunity.

If we were raised in a culture of "No Pain, No Gain" or "suffering with Christ", how could we ever accept self-care and rest for healing?

If I am to remember God's love in my darkest times, I would ask Him to remember what it's like to grieve so hard you drown the whole world.

In my mental health and trauma work, I’ve come to accept the very necessary concept of non-dualistic thinking; yin and yang, "yes, and"

Hating yourself will literally destroy your brain and body with illness. Hating your self will destroy your view of God and love for others

If I want to heal, know God, and be restored sevenfold, what should I expect but a whirlwind? When God sends a plague, it sets people free.

This year, I learned that keeping the Christ in Christmas is not nearly so important... as keeping the I in Christ.

I ask God to prove Himself, and it turns out He does that by letting us do the impossible: surviving some of the worst things humans suffer

Our miracles are subtle, sometimes unnoticed, and sometimes, quite frankly, dull and annoying. Every day for 40 years. Enter the Lyme life.

Did you ever stop to think that doctors have had a profession for thousands of years, but modern pharma only dates from the mid 19th century

I took down all my affiliate disclosures and disconnected my monetizing account.  My website is back to being MY website, and like me, it is

I have, with great awe and trembling, been able to accept that being stricken with Lyme disease is a gift. The lessons I have learned...

Let go of everything that's "supposed to be" and let life, and yourself, BE. Patience and faith go hand-in-hand.

I can only identify with Christ because He has identified with me. If he had used his power to alleviate his suffering, he'd be meaningless.

There is a time to break down. There is a time to weep. There is a time to mourn. There is a time to be silent. Take it, and have peace.

I need to realize the self-fulfilled purpose of merely existing. I was created. I lived. He was glorified. It is finished.

Somewhere out there is a young woman whose life has just been derailed by Lyme, unsure if life is still worth living. For her, I write.
