Recently, Headspace offered a Morning Wakeup asking, "How have you changed in the last two years?" The question has been lingering around in my mind since listening to it several weeks ago which indicated to me that it's a question I needed to be reflect on. My Autoimmune System While I have always been fully …

Good-bye Sweet Izzy!

On May 2, 2021 By Cathy KramerIn Uncategorized6 Comments

Izzy became our family 14 years ago. Little did I know that she would be one of my best RA treatments. She laid on my knees when swollen to care for me, pushed me to move each day, walked me through fears of RA, my dad's death, my children's childhood/teens, and much more. Somehow, she …

Preparing Me for the End

On October 29, 2020 By Cathy KramerIn Uncategorized8 Comments

Nature has a special way of providing us with the lessons we need, if we listen. While I practiced attachment parenting, I was in no way a helicopter parent.

Several months back, I was gifted with a set of walking poles from Urban Poling. The timing couldn't have been better. In April, my left knee was in awful shape and I was using a cane to take short walks. While a gel injection in May helped tremendously and I feel back to my spunky …

Trees: A Reminder of Our Own Magnificence

On August 6, 2020August 6, 2020 By Cathy KramerIn Uncategorized2 Comments

It's difficult to look at a tree and not see it's beauty. It might be it's height, the beautiful leaves it produces, the refuge it provides for birds and other critters, the food it gives, or simply the calm it brings to our lives because of its permanence. Whatever the reason, it is easy to …

Capturing My Love of Izzy

On August 2, 2020 By Cathy KramerIn Uncategorized2 Comments

As Izzy hit 13.5 years old this year, I wanted to capture our time together. When I shared with my husband that our daughter was planning to take some photos, he said, "You have lots of pictures of Izzy." It's true. But not lots of pictures of me with her. I call Izzy #MyForeverToddler because …
