Florida has just been through a historic hurricane. We offer prayers and help as we can for those who have been devastated Devastation comes in many forms. Call it chaos. My latest obsession on the spiritual journey is understanding the role chaos can play and is…
This is what nurses do. We care. A whole lot. Until we can’t care anymore. We work. A whole lot. Until we can’t work anymore. We suffer. We strive. We give. We forget to live. I am not Annette Tersigni. My name is Kady and I have temporarily taken over Annette’s blog (she knows I’m writing to you but doesn’t know what I’m about to say). I was a nurse. I held up the four…

Greetings, Cut to the chase. I had a biopsy about 10 days ago. They found a suspicious area in my right breast, from an earlier mammogram and ultrasound. Not a lump, still a small area of unusual tissue. The expert team from the hospital I worked at for almost 20 years performed the procedure. Then came the waiting game, Easter weekend was coming up and the imaging center, where I was to return to get…
Greetings Beloved Soul Everyone is in such a hurry. Like the rabbit in Alice In Wonderland. “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date.” We’ve been programmed by modern technology to get it all instantly. Whatever it is. Lo and behold, I found this in one of my daily readings… It’s only natural to want a quick fix or an immediate solution to a situation. As one member jokingly puts it, “Grant me patience…

Namaste, It is time to celebrate International Yoga Day! My love for yoga goes back over 50 years and I cannot imagine where my life would be without it. It was so good that I created an entire career out of it. The most gratifying part of being the founder of the YogaNurse movement is the joy of meeting, teaching and learning from other like-minded nurses who are creating positive transformations in their lives and…
It’s Nurses Week and it’s also Year of the Nurse and Midwife in celebration of Florence Nightingale’s 200th Birth Anniversary. Today. May 12. I’m sitting here thinking about how challenging it has been this year for nurses. People all over the world are celebrating nurses and bowing to them in gratitude for the service they give but this wasn’t exactly what we had in mind for the year of the nurse. Nonetheless, I want you…
