Out with the Old, In with the New

My faithful eMac has finally retired. After seven years of service, the "all-in-one" system began to fail—first with screen blackouts, then with frequent system crashes. I managed to extend its life for a few months by mirroring the display to an external monitor, but it eventually became clear that I needed a more reliable partner for my projects.

 

I am now the proud owner of a Mac mini! It’s incredible to think how far I’ve come since my first manual typewriter in 1972, or my first Commodore 64 in 1978. I’ve gone from 450 MB hard drives to a machine that allows me to get "oodles" of work done without the stress of a crash. I love it!

All My Walking Music Videos:

 

'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus  

They say it’s not about how fast you get there, but about the climb. Looking back at my foot surgeries, there were days when the 'mountain' felt impossible to move. This song became my anthem during those long weeks of physical therapy and quiet recovery. It reminded me that every small step forward—no matter how painful—was still progress. I’m sharing this video today to honor that journey and to remind anyone else in the middle of their own 'climb' to keep pushing."

 

 

'One Step at a Time' by Jordin Sparks

After foot surgery, the world feels like it's moving at 100mph while I was stuck at zero. This song reminded me that I don’t have to rush the process—I just have to keep my eyes on the floor and put one foot in front of the other. There’s no need to run when you’re learning how to walk again. Here is a look at my journey, one steady step at a time.

'Someone’s Watching Over Me' (Hilary Duff)
During my recovery, there were moments of pain and isolation where I felt overwhelmed. But looking at the image of the Divine Mercy, I was reminded that I was never truly alone. Hilary Duff’s 'Someone’s Watching Over Me' perfectly captures that feeling of being guided by a higher power. To me, Jesus is that presence—the one giving me hope when I feel weak and the inspiration to keep healing. This video is a reflection of His grace in my life.

'Footloose' (Kenny Loggins): One of my favorite dance songs! It was a blast to put this one together.

Springing into Action

With the snow finally behind us, I’m more than ready for the next eight months of warmth. It’s time to put these new shoes to work and enjoy the sunshine.
