    Finding Balance within The Tree of Life

    Work hard - play hard. These are words my father spoke, but more importantly, the behavior he modeled. My earliest memories are of him sitting at our dining room table with his slide rule. He didn't mind if I interrupted him. My dad always had a pen and pencil in his pocket. He loved to ask what I was learning in school. He would whip out the pencil and explain a detail about the subject. I thought he knew everything. I wondered how I could ever be a parent because I could n

I love the way the bird looks like it is deep in thought, reflecting a lovely day spent at looking out at the ocean. I told him that if he were a bird, he would be that bird and that is how he got the nickname "Larry Bird." People have said to me that they were sorry that Larry suffered for the last few years of his life. And while ALS was unfort

    We Will Cross That Covered Bridge When We Get There

    Have you ever had a time in life where you are trying plan something and nothing looks like it is going right? We Will Cross That Covered Bridge When We Get There is our artist way of expressing those feeling. Larry and I went to Boston in May 2015 so he could participate in an ALS study at ALS Therapy Development Institute (TDI). TDI designed a research program called the Precision Medicine Program for 20 to 25 patients to participate, but thanks to ALS ice bucket challenge
