Goals


I am a goal setter...it gives me direction...something to work toward...meaning...and a sense of accomplishment.
Throughout life I have learned to be flexible with my goals...modifying them as needed to accommodate what is right...life...family...etc

Personal Life Goals:

Solid Marriage...healthy well-mannered children...extended family...Love!
A home that meets our needs...pets to enjoy...friends...Spiritual Connection...
Home decorating...updating...remoldeling...backyard farming...gardening...hobbies (crochet, bead work, writing, digital scrap booking, art)

Career Goals Completed:

Become an RN...get a BSN...build a rewarding progressive career
Design, build and operate my own Nursing Business (Nostalgic Nursing Services)
Administration Director Positions...Nursing Foot Care Specialist Training Completed... Nursing Informatics Training Completed... Health Educator (Health care Facility Staff Development and Community College Teacher)...Case Management Specialist (Community-Based and Acute Care)

What Now????

For the last few years I have invested a great deal of time and research on Acute Porphyria... first in a search for a diagnosis to my health problems... then as a proactive self treatment investment...
Then I thought I would like to finish my MSN in Nursing Genetics/Genomics to provide counseling and case management for individuals diagnosed with in-born errors of metabolism...I found two or three great web-based Nursing Genetic/Genomic certification programs that would supplement any MSN program
My passion is the influence of life choices and environmental factors on genetic expression and disease management!!!
I support the development of individualized genomic medicine!
I found a terrific training program for "Healthy Home Specialist" (environmental evaluations).
The reality is that with my life, my family and my health demands... my endurance is a fraction of what it used to be...although I still have last year's research...I have let go of the plan to seek a MSN in Genetic/Genomics...I am only able to work part-time and it would just be Too Much!

    With your focus, determination and faith, I have every confidence that you will realize ALL of your goals.(if the Lord wills) With every goal that you reach, you send showers of blessings out upon others because your goals are always focused on helping others. You have always "loved the broken ones"!

Sunday 3/21/2010 - Sunny Sunday

Does Sunday mean we should be in the same church building, from 10:30am to 12 noon every week??? Hmmm... we (my husband and I)have been giving this a lot of thought. I believe it is important to build relationships, to set a good example, to demonstrate self discipline and to be committed to spirituality... but does that mean the only way to do this as a family is to commune from 10:30 to 12 at our local church each Sunday?? I decided that I am open to trying a multifaceted approach to spirituality, mix it up a bit, keep it lively. So the plan is that sometimes we will attend the traditional Sunday morning service; sometimes we will attend different churches/times; sometimes we will watch and discuss television sermons; sometimes we will watch and discuss Internet sermons; and still other times we will listen to/discuss radio presentations, religious movies, and books. We will see how it goes... For today we watched/discussed a very good YouTube skit that my mother forwarded to me (htt...

Writing Contest

National Nurses’ Week 2011 “My Most Memorable Experience as a Nurse” Writing Contest All of us have had that one experience as a nurse that we will never forget, the patient or family who touched our hearts, the extraordinarily funny experience that still keeps us laughing years later, or the incredibly sad loss of a patient that still aches at our hearts today. Whatever that experience may be. We want to hear about it! The Nurses Week 2011 Theme is Nurses: Trusted to Care. Research has shown that Nursing is a highly trusted profession. We became that way because of our heart, soul, and passion for what we do. That’s why we remember those days that may have gone forgotten! My Entry: My Most Memorable Experience as a Nurse One day years ago in central NY State I received what seemed to be a simple Home Health (HH) Nursing referral. My new patient (pt) was described as an elderly gentleman diagnosed with bilateral lower extremity cellulitis. Upon arriving at his apartment, I noticed that...

My Other Mother "MOM"

Strong, Honest, Giving, Kind, Hard-working, Committed, Loving, Insightful, Peaceful, Family-oriented, Funny, Resourceful, Flexible, Understanding, Easy-to-talk-to, are just some of the adjectives that describe this remarkable woman. She has been a pillar in my life and in our family since early childhood... many times she was "the glue" that held us together. She is modest, never boastful, and always lends a hand to anyone in need. I thank God that she came in to our lives! I remember introducing her to our horse "Patches" and showing her how to feed him... I remember thinking how Cool she was on her motorcycle... I have always enjoyed sharing thoughts, feelings and life in general with her... she is an excellent listener who truly cares. She is a therapeutic painter who has experienced a fair share of "color" throughout this life... I have been blessed to have her in my life! I really do think the world of her:-)
