is Wendy's blog for you?
Jack Nicolson put it brilliantly in the road-trip scene from the 1999 movie As Good As It Gets: Not everyone has a terrible story to get over. Some people have great stories, beautiful stories that take place in parks with friends and noodle salad. Good times, noodle salad. Just no one in this car.
If you're overwhelmed today or need help facing a painful yesterday, you're in the right place. You matter to God. It (whatever it is), matters to God. But no one can make that discovery for you. I'm here to comfort, inspire, and even challenge you along the way. Lessons learned throughout my toughest years of healing were never just for me. God had you in mind as well. You are why The Medicine Place exist.

If a life can be a book, I open mine to you. Read my story, and experience the power of God in your own.

Are You Taking Care of Yourself?
Hi ladies! I am going to make a concerted effort to blog more frequently, even if it at times it's for a quick hello. I'm trying to balance the day job, school being out, a book proposal, and blogging. I'm not in the zone yet.
Yesterday I looked in the mirror and thought to myself: If you would get back to the gym and drink more water, you'd feel better. I suspect that all writers and women in their forties eventually think these things. I'm usually healthy, but somehow coffee became breakfast and lunch--a handful of chips with a soda. Please, somebody out there tell me you can relate!
What has taken me a bit off guard is that these are the reactions I once had when my life was dysfunctional. Today, I have a healthy home-life, but even good things can bring pressure. It's important to take consistent care of yourself regardless of what's going on.
Today I will drink eight glasses of water, move and play, eat something with protein, kiss my husband, hug my son, allow my two labs extra licks on my cheek, and try to be in snoozeville by 10:30 PM.
How about you? Are you taking care of yourself? Drinking enough water, moving and playing, eating healthy foods, and getting enough sleep? Do you remember the last time you kissed your husband?
