A further look into a life of P.O.T.S
(This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosure policy for more information) What Is P.O.T.S?? One of the diagnoses that I have is called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome otherwise known as P.O.T.S for short. This is a long word that basically means my body does not get enough blood flow going when I stand up and can result in my body doing a variety of different things. Your heart rate can increase within the second of standing up (normally this is a 30 rate increase or more) For example let’s say my heart rate normally runs in the 60’s when I am sitting down, well when I stand up my…

The Upper Peninsula in Michigan
Are you thinking about traveling to the beautiful Upper Peninsula this summer? Do you live out of state and you wonder what wonders await you in Michigan?? Well, this Michigander would love to tell you about the first time I went to the U.P. When I was younger my family told me I had visited there, but I did not remember any of it from that time.

Every single day, we were in a totally different part of the…

A day in the Emergency Room
On Friday, I ended up in the Emergency room a place that I hardly ever go too because when you have a chronic illness you get treated quite differently. Although let me back up a second, I went to the ER because I was having pain, but not just any kind of pain, this was severe stabbing in my lower abdomen followed by cramping. I was bent over and could barely stand up straight, that is when I called the doctors office and guess what the nurse told me?? You got it! “You need to get to the ER immediately, there is something going on and you need to be…

The seven forms of worship
Tonight I went to a Christian concert that included Chris Tomlin and quite a few other worship bands. I have been to so many before. I absolutely love going to them to be in the presence of the lord and to feel the Holy Spirit. There are so many Christian artists that are there to worship with you, to bring you to Christ. They are not like that of other artists that see themselves as idols, who like slapping your hands and have you drooling over them, screaming their name and worshipping their every move. Christian artists get their lyrics from the Lord, they sing to God, they give everything…

Using the air brush do it yourself tanner
(This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosure policy for more information) Today I looked at my legs and seen ghosts, they are pale, they are white, they are just not a very pretty sight. I wanted to take some pictures and wear a dress because today it is 62 degrees in Michigan and it feels like summer. Perfect day for a dress, but when I put the dress on and looked at my legs, they look like I haven’t been in the sun in years. So that is when I looked through my closet for something to help. I found one of my Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion, Medium,…

Changing water into wine in our lives
Today, I read a story in the bible that talked about Jesus turning water into wine. Now I am sure at one time or another we all have heard this story, or someone has made a remark about Jesus turning water into wine.. walking on water and what not. Anyways, today I read John 2, but this time instead of just skimming through it, because I already know the story and I have heard it myself before. I actually read it a few times and really want to tell you all what I think of it and just tell you how incredible this story really is!! The beginning of John…

When should you switch to a different doctor?
Sitting in a waiting room, nervously waiting to see the new specialist or doctor that you have found yourself or been referred too. You have seen so many doctors and a lot of them have dismissed your symptoms, they have made you think that everything is in your head. That there is absolutely nothing wrong with you and that your making things up?? Have any of you had this? I feel like we all have at one time or another because there are doctors out there that just want to do the bare minimum, they treat you like a number instead of a patient. This does happen, that does not…
