Spring is here? reflect, take flight, re”root”
This morning when I woke up, all I could think about is “wow, spring is here.” For three days we have enjoyed what we think spring should look like; beautiful, warm and even sunny weather with a bit of a warm wind. But this morning it was sleeting, hailing, snowing – well, I’m not sure […]
My First Podcast. My Story Vault with Dr. Dennis Rebelo: Juxtaposition of Trauma and Identity: Physician/patient, Teacher/Student with Amy Sosne
Without a voice, there is no dialogue, and without a truthful voice, there is no honest connection and no hope for progression or change.
New Year, New Resolution. Inhale, I am here, and exhale, I was there and should be over there. You are now – Welcome 2026

Resiliency versus Post Traumatic Growth…
I realize that this is just semantics, but is there a difference? I’m starting this blog, which I have written over the course of several weeks (stopping and coming back to it, etc. – so it may be choppy – but it’s a blog!) with this question. Is resiliency accepting an experience and integrating it […]
Colorado; Trip Like No Other – A Stream of Consciousness About Challenges, Anxiety, Fear, and Coping
Well, at this point it’s almost embarrassing to give my update. In Colorado, “relaxing” vacation, supposed to ski a couple of runs or so each day, have some independent time with my husband, and really try to heal. Well – day 3, my mother has a burst cyst in her calf – beyond painful and […]
Trauma adds to trauma; resiliency is more challenging, messy, but possible with acceptance
(NOTE – I’m typing with a painful hand and some of these images may be disturbing and the grammar may be pathetic – but it’s my blog 🙂 First teaching with one arm, 2 weeks 5 days post 5 hour surgery, 3 weeks post 1 hour surgery – 2 metal plates, wires, box of screws, […]
