I am honored to have been nominated for inspiring blog by “2muchdrama”. Thank you so much! I have struggled with what to write a lot of the time, I just say what comes to mind, which can be a lot. My hope is to bring a smile to someones face or to actually impact someone elses life. I was inspired to blog by “thewirehead” one of the best bloggers I know.  I will try to follow the rules as such and make my fellow bloggers proud!

EHR?

In the United States in 2011 there were 380 major data breaches involving 500 or more patients’ records listed on the website kept by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights.[34] So far, from the first wall postings in September 2009 through the latest on Dec. 8 this year, there have been 18,059,831 “individuals affected,” and even that massive number is an undercount of the breach problem. The civil rights office has not released the records of tens of thousands of breaches it has received under a federal reporting mandate on breaches affecting fewer than 500 patients per incident.[35]

Wow, I remember when there was “paper charting” and that it seems may have been more in line with HIPPA. What is next, a chip in the wrist with our social security number so the hundreds of hackers can see all?!

Wake up America

Leave a comment

I have an  8-year-old son. At night when we are here alone he always asks me if the doors and windows are all locked. I reassure him, “yes baby, we are all locked up. Then I sleep with one eye open and bionic hearing.

How can I protect him wherever he goes? Answer is I can’t.

I pray for his safety everyday. And now I pray for the souls and the parents of the children in Connecticut.

Yesterday Heaven was blessed with 20 little angels.

Wake up America, it is not about gun control!  It is about recognizing mental illness , personality disorders, and psychosis in those around you. It is about stepping up and taking a stand. Take the responsibility of notifying someone of authority and follow through..make sure some type of action is taken. Do not turn a blind eye because you will be just as guilty in the end if something happens and you too will have the blood on your hands. A heavy burden, yes if it is a loved one, but a heavier burden if the end results in such devastation. There is something called “doing what is right, even if it hurts”! Again..key word RESONSIBILITY!

President Obama, your tears were touching but useless unless you change some policy and make reporting a useful tool and allow the agencies that oversee mental illness the resources that they need. This is your country and it is going to hell in a hand basket unless you step up!

I don’t know what else to say…..

No Worries

Perimenopause or not I am sure my 8-year-old son has it together!
Thank goodness Emma and Caden picked him up this morning after “The Night from Hell” last night!
We got up at 6:30 and rushed to get ready for school.
As he walks out of the front door Mommy is going through the list: Backpack, Lunch, Snack, Homework Pass, etc. and Joshua (Josh, now that he is a big boy) says:

No Worries, I’ve got this!

Ahh, the wisdom of a child!  Point taken!

 

Exhaustion

“Beautiful gates, houses and palaces, solidly built forts, elephants, saddled horses, hundreds of thousands of uncounted armies – none of these will go along with anyone in the end, and yet, the fools bother themselves to exhaustion with these, and then die.”

S has been a part of my life ‘on and off’ for the past few months, until I finally decided last Monday that there’ll be no more on time for us.

What have I learnt through this experience?

I’ve learnt that when you feel like someone is making more withdrawals than deposits into your life, you’ll be out of balance and in the negative before you know it. (Ref: 10 signs it’s time to let go)

I’ve learnt that whatever relationships I’ve attracted into my life at this moment are exactly what I need for my evolvement through this life journey, and I’m grateful for every one of them.

I’ve learnt that people’s actions really do speak louder than words and their depth can never be overvalued.

I’ve learnt that the most important thing that you can do for yourself in any given moment is to feel good, and if…

Mother Teresa?

Leave a comment

A very special friend the other day equated me with Mother Teresa..he said if I wanted to be like her that was fine but he saw people taking advantage of me. At first this comment hit me the wrong way..as an insult. I would never imagine myself to be someone as selfless and beloved by millions.

Knowing the person that made this comment I am sure it was not malicious in nature, only meant to help.

But has it? At first I thought the end result of the comment was good, it made me think..but now after a day or so it only makes me sad.

I have always been the type of person to wear my heart on my sleeve and I tend now to think that is not such a good thing.

I find myself today making a choice to change some things in my life and rethink how I have expressed myself for so many years.

I am not quite sure where to start but it seems I have to.

Thank you to all of my blogging friends and viewers. You and your thoughts are always welcome here.
