I finished the first draft of my book a week ago and I felt so jubilant, I was walking around with a spring in my step and a huge smile. Now I get to start the editing process! I get the feeling that finishing the first draft is just the beginning of the work? I…
my life after tiara
I guess I’m close to finishing the first draft….
Lou and I were on a bike ride to the beach the other day when he asked me how far I was along in writing my book. Well, “I was at 230 pages when I was typing it in Word but I just started typing it in Google Docs. I copied it over to Google…
3 months into my liver cleanse, an update!
I didn’t even realize that exactly 3 months ago today, I started my celery juicing and liver cleanse. So has it worked to get rid of my rash? Well, you decide for yourself: here is my current before and after photos. If only I bothered to take better pictures in the same lighting, you would…
Apparently things can change in a second, or so I’m told!
For those of you who don’t know, my hubby, Lou, loves the OC Fair. Every year leading up to the fair he begins planning his first visit which always happens on the first day the fair opens, unless he has to work. When the kids were little he lined up with the girls on the…
Sparkly and Sober
Since my last post, lots of changes have happened in my life! If I was telling you this story in person I would skip around from one subject to another pulling them all together with my over exaggerated hand gestures and facial expressions, but since I’m writing and you can’t ask me questions, I’ll go…

My life changed forever, 20 years ago today.
Somehow 20 days have gone by and I haven’t posted. 20 days, 20 years, time moves so quickly and we can never get it back. 20 years ago this weekend Tiara was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis. I remember sitting in the blue vinyl chair at CHOC watching the eeg tech perform the first of many…
I can’t remember how to do anything!
This isn’t like riding a bike, because I can’t remember how to do it, even though I used to be really good at it! You know how you learn to use your phone and then you have to update it 2 years later and everything is confusing and you can’t seem to complete the simplest…
I’m back to blogging and am writing my book!
Well, it appears I am back to blogging! It’s so funny because I haven’t written a blog post in over 3 years and I’m ready to dive back into the blogging world. Why, now, You ask? Let’s go through my reasons. The first reason is because I am half way through writing the book I…
A new year and a milestone
So, the holidays came and went and so did the 1 year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. I have thought about you all often and still can’t believe I didn’t post on January 15, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write as I was afraid of what I would say. As you all know, I…
