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"!

"Real Connections" & Providing Chap Stick

When last I wrote the world around me was consumed with "Hurricane Irene", and justly so. Many suffered significant damage related to the storm... and for that my heart is saddened for their loss. My local area has minimal damage to contend with and "the clean-up" is in process. My "brain", my "thoughts" they come and go like most...I suppose. Today I awoke from dreaming about my brother. I have six brothers...four genetic brothers (one full/ three half), and two step-brothers (imagine the challenge the geneticist had trying to chart my pedigree)so let me clarify... I woke up from a dream about the brother I always knew existed... but have never "known". In the dream he and I were talking, it was the middle of the night and we were in the former home of our other brother. My heart was in his hand as I searched for some "common ground" to plant a seed that might bloom into a close sibling relationship... He was upset and I

April 26 - Monday May 3, 2010 A Week Gone By

Sooo you are probably thinking.... what is the Lumberjack all about??? Answer: nothing at all I have just always liked the whole manliness nature of a lumberjack :-) Anyhow... Another week in time... more new job orientation, more domestic navigation, a little spring cleaning, some overnight guests... Cheering for my husband and his buddy as they completed a local triathlon yesterday! They did an awesome job!!! Today is about sorting piles of old (&new) mail... making phone calls, scheduling appointments and being the quality of "glue" that keeps the family together... you all know the stuff I am talking about. The nice part of today is that for the first time in awhile it is completely quiet hmmmmm:-)

Book Review

I just finished this book today. It was an easy and fun read. The elderly always make me smile... I like their stories...I respect their mannerisms. They have seen so much throughout their lifetime... They have "been there and done that"... In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get, becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point... I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing! The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly. It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present. My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love".
