Women HERstory Month

What is HER story? We only see the famous women stories but what about our own? This year is a little special for me because I am now the mother of a daughter. To me, my SHEroes are the ones who are happy- success is not very measurable in this stage in my life.

I feel like I am successful- I am a doctor, a mother, a happy wife with a happy husband, and a new author. (See below for link- The L in my name is for Lotus!) According to my older sister (got to love older siblings) I'm not quite there because I don't have a house. If I lived in New York, I probably STILL wouldn't have a house. That goes for San Francisco as well but I should not compare Chicago to these two cities- it is very expensive to live there.

Anyway, what is HER story? Every woman has a unique, beautiful and elaborate story that created them. To my close girlfriend who was born and raised in Haiti very poor and now is on the brink of being a CEO of a successful corporation- I salute her! To my niece who was born healthy and great grandma took her eyes off her for a second as a toddler and she got into her great great  grandma's medication instantly shutting down her pancreas and now is a massage therapist working for Massage Envy and J.C. Penny. She is rough around the edges but still gives a smile that is pure sunshine- I salute you! To one of my mother's close friend who just lost her husband to cancer and is working like no one's business to hold down the family, her home and their vehicles- I salute you!

This is not to say men are nothing but every great man is even better with a hard working, determined woman along side him. I encourage my husband to be his best, love God and love his family. I am sure Coretta Scott King went through so much more than I every have with my husband. It wasn't like the good Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did all that on his own with 4 kiddies! The remaining 3 kids are still fighting the good fight so their exposure and the endurance of their mother became generational.

What's YOUR success story?

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
