My Christmas Message for 2011 - Tradition! Framily! Acceptance and Growth.
Sunday, December 25, 2011, 2:50 pm, by Mardy Ross
Last week, I made a trip over the snowy, Colorado Rocky Mountains to visit people before Christmas. Half to visit friends and fun, and the other half to visit friendly colleagues and have some fun while meeting about various mutual interests. I got to thinking that I visited with Catholics, Protestants and Jews on my trip. I am GRATEful for my father's having insisted on the atheistic approach, although my mother and grandmother slipped in some of their Christian beliefs here and there. read more »

They keep continuing to evolve into a wonderfully diverse and helpful tool, covering body, mind and spirit, I believe. I asked "Dr Dee" if people can obtain these from the website if they are finding it in the future, and she responded "A new visitor can obtain a FREE copy of my newsletter under the Newsletter archives section -- under FREE stuff! read more »

A Little Experiment
Today I wanted to write about families' understanding of fibromyalgia based on my recent experience. This year my parents will celebrate 50 years of marriage. What an amazing accomplishment and I know it hasn't been easy. The "kids" talked about how to honor this and decided to all go to a cabin in a beautiful area of Ohio for a few days to just enjoy each other. Well, this past week we did this and wow, what a beautiful time we had. read more »

Reflections on Easters Past and Present -- and Earth, Quakes and All!
Sunday, April 4, 2010, 6:17 pm, by Mardy Ross
As I sat down to write here, I was alerted to the news as there was a significant earthquake in the Baja peninsula near where the US/California border is with Mexico.
