Coffee and Donuts
To you this may just be coffee and donuts, but to me it is everything. A family of a girl I took care of a while ago in the PICU, stopped by during Nurses’ Week to wish and let me know “this is the only thing we can do for you, we remember you all…

Happy Nurses Week
May of 2009 I graduated from Nursing school and 10 years goes by fast. As a student I was filled with much hope and longed to make a difference in this world. Tonight, during Nurses Week, I had the honor of pinning my dear friend Vanessa and I cannot believe how time has flown by.…

Sunkissed
“If you look towards the sun you will never see your shadow. It’s when you look away you will always be chasing it.” It’s easy to dwell on the past, it’s easy to dwell on our mistakes. It’s easy to count our failures and fallbacks. Don’t dig up the past. Let the past stay behind…

Starting over
Sometimes life doesn’t go the way we expect it to. I think we all have this picture in the back of ours heads how we think ours days would look like or turn out. None of us expect suffering, none of us expect the trials, we especially don’t expect that our life would not go…
