Welcome to my new blog.

 I wanted to find a way to deal with what has been going on in my life over the past year.  This blog is my online journal.  I think it will help me move on and grow.  If someone stumbles upon my blog and reads it and something in it helps them then all the better.   I am going to start with my background and what has been going on in my life over the past year.   I also will include tips and suggestions for dealing with all aspects of the healthcare system.  I love to read, craft, garden and travel too, so you will see posts about this things too to mix it up a bit.    I will write more soon.  Just Breathe Kelly
