So, it's been a while since my last posting. In truth, I've just been lazy. Or maybe I've been busy (though, not THAT busy). Since the last time I wrote, I have received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, I have studied and by the grace of God, passed the NJ boards for PT, and I have waited and waited for my license to be processed. Once my license was finally approved, I finally started my

March 13, 2010Around 4:30 this afternoon, I unfortunately lost power in my apartment: that was bummer #1. Bummer #2: I was in the middle of a game of scrabble with mom (via Facebook) and I believe I was winning… who can remember though, right?  Anyway, the game was put on hold, temporarily….or so I thought.It is currently 8:51PM and I am STILL without power.

This weekend I played Disc Golf in a park in South Charleston, WV with my good friend Shelly. It was my first time ever playing disc golf, which is funny because I love frisbee so much. Anyways, I loved everything about it....especially the company! Best throw of the game (and the one I managed to get on video) goes to Shelly! I can't wait to play again with spring coming!

My top 10 memories of 2009, in semi-chronological order...1. Living in London for 3 whole months! A great roommate (thanks for all the fun Leslie). A great city. A great clinical at Queen Mary's Hospital. Great food (don't let other people tell you London has boring food...it's not true!) London. Greenwich. Wimbledon (center court!). Even Paris. Now I know firsthand why it's called Great

1. Why does coffee taste so good in the morning?2. Why does it taste even better in your favorite mug?3. Why must landscapers start blowing leaves so early? mornings are supposed to be quiet and peaceful.4. Why do we need a holiday to remember to be thankful?5. Why can't I eat more on Thanksgiving? My eyes are always bigger than my stomach.6. Why does breakfast taste so much better when you're

Today they tore down the walls (and ceiling) of my kitchen (which may not seem like a good thing, but it is). I have to admit, it's a little chilly and there is a chlorine-like odor lingering around my apartment. Ugh. But, if I step back, I realize that this was a necessary thing. Plus, they were already weak and therefore would have fallen down eventually anyways."Why share this on a blog?"

Ok, so HUGE news:My older sister (my only sister), Nicole, is engaged. Engaged to none other than John, a fun, funny, energetic, smart and cool guy, and I'm so thankful that's he's going to be my future brother-in-law for two reasons. One, because I've always wanted a brother (Nicole was a good play-mate growing up, but she never wanted to play basketball with me- hence why I always wanted a

Do ever think sun showers are funny? If not funny, at least fun. I don't what it is about them, but they make me smile.My friend Kate used to say that there is a difference between liking something and loving it? For example, you might not like your younger brother or sister when they pull your hair and pinch your arm, but when it comes down to it, you still love them- because they're family.

Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourself. -Phillipians 2:3I've been turning these words over and over again in my head recently. These are some of the questions I've been asking myself:Do I count others more significant than myself? The words I speak. The judgments I make (even if only in my head). The actions I take...or don't take. Are

This labor day my friend Angie and her family came down to the Jersey Shore. Let's just say: it was magical! Here are my top 20 memories:1. That minivan pulling up to the house, late at night. Being able to give Angie a real, in person, hug. They were really here! The Davis’s and Cavadini’s together at last. 2.Waking up extra early so that the kiddos wouldn’t be afraid of their new environment.

It's a strange feeling, coming home after 3 months of living in another county. Back to New York accents. Back to driving on the right side of the road. Back to a place you've known all you're life. And you feel both instantly comfortable but also out of place. Momentarily at least. Now, I can't teleport (not yet at least), but it almost feels like I have. Such an abrupt end to an amazing

I wanted to give a HUGE shout out to my fellow ultimate players! I have been blessed 10 times over by playing frisbee every (ok, most) Sundays while I've been here in London. As my friend Jim puts it, "playing frisbee is my zen." It clears your head. It's a great workout. And seriously, how much better can it get: playing frisbee in a beautiful park right in front of Buckingham Palace, most

This past Friday, I was feeling rather spontaneous. On the bus to work, I contemplated what I wanted to do this weekend. And then out of blue, it came to me. Why not go to Paris? Sure, why not. Only live once. I decided that the overnight bus was my cheapest option, and I could catch a bus that very night. Come quiting time at work, I rushed to an internet cafe to buy my coach ticket. This

I'm learning many things here in London. Academically, I am learning all about how to work with persons with amputations. How to teach them to use their artificial leg (prosthesis) to increase their mobility and in many cases, to walk again. Today, one my patients, an amputee, "graduated" from walking school and he was discharged from the hospital after being there for 3 weeks. A long time to be

The weekend called for some serious sightseeing (being that I had to work during the week and wouldn't be able to play "tour guide" then). And can I just say, my hat goes off to those tour guides that are really good at their jobs! I was soon to find out that you really need to know your stuff, almost having an internal map, to be a guide. Plus, I have a confession. There was more than a

Although London-Family Week was technically last week, I was WAY to busy enjoying my family to post anything before now. Hence, I dub this week, "London-Family Week in Review." Where do I even start?

Happy late 4th of July. And yes, people in London celebrated Independence Day. OK, maybe it was just the Americans in Britain that celebrated (myself included!) The afternoon of the 4th was a lazy one, and it wasn't until 8 o'clock that we were all ready to go out to a restuarant/bar called The Big Easy.

This weekend I visited the Prime Meridian. Yes, none other than Greenwich, England. What an awesome place to visit! Tourists and locals alike gathered to picnic in the massive Greenwich Park- some locals even setting up full wine and cheese picnics. One such picnic was complete with white-tablecloth covered tables and accordion player providing the entertainment. Another family picnic within a

(This has been a very freeing experience, not having a cell; we'll see if I feel this way in a month though!)Where would you find Natalie? 1. During the week, I'm at the hospital. Working hard.

I had one of my patient’s ask me to “give him an American exercise” (he was quite aware that I was NOT British.) I laughed and said that there’s really nothing uniquely American. Of course some techniques and philosophies differ from place to place, but I’m starting to realizing that physical therapy is physical therapy; it’s an universal language of sorts.

Today is Double "D" Day because I finally was able to set on the top level of a Double-Decker bus this morning. I thought this would be easy thing to do, but for one thing, not every bus is a double-decker and for another thing, the trip has to be a long to make the upper deck worth it. nyhow, check riding the double-decker off my list of things to do while in London.

The football jerseys worn by my neighbors gave it away: today was a big football day. Little did I know that it was the Final Game of FA Cup (Note: this means something to people that follow soccer and to nearly everyone who lives in Europe). The game was Chelsea vs. Everton. Walking along every street, and filling every local pub, Chelsea fans were supporting their favorite team. Not being a

I think it was Henry Gray (author of Gray's Anatomy) who used to give each day a name in his journal. Or maybe it was Jon Krakauer (author of "Into the Wild"). Either way, I dub today "Canal Day." This week is essentially supposed to be "orientation week" for Leslie (my roommate/partner in crime/fellow PT student) and I. However, it is quickly turning into "let's see as much as we can

9:30 last night...Made it through airport security without a problem. Not sure why I was so worried about it. Sat by the gate and made some last minute texts- last time to use cell phone for 3 months...will I miss that convenience? Stewardess sounds like my British professor (kind of looks like her too!)

It's a little after Noon (London time = 4 hours ahead). I am sitting in my very simple room, yet it will definitely serve it's purpose. Just picture a dorm room; 2 beds, 2 small desks, 1 closet (yea, the 1 closet may be tough for us girls). I will be sharing the room with a classmate whom I know well enough and whom I am looking forward to getting to know better. Will right more soon. Off to

Let's say, you're going on a vacation....better yet, let's say you're going to a foreign country on an extended stay. "What will this place look like?" you ask yourself. "Where will I be staying? I'm so anxious, I just want to be there." The answer is simple = Google Earth!In 15 short days I will be flying across the Atlantic Ocean...and living there for 3 not so short months!Where will I be

I don’t know about you but personally, I am pretty uncomfortable with the unknown. I’m thinking about those times when you or a loved one is ill, but the doctors have no definitive diagnosis. Yet. That period of waiting is very very uncomfortable. My mom, like most moms couldn’t fall asleep until her daughters were home safe at nighttime. Not until she heard the garage door open could be

I was extra blessed this Valentine's Day to have not just one Valentine, but seven Valentines (my mom and dad, my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins and my newly engaged friend). And although I cannot fully explain how much I LOVED spending this day with this day with them, I'm going to try anyways. Here are the things I loved about today:I loved...1. the way my dad and my uncle just took charge,

A few days ago I received a blogging award, the Lemonade award, from my friend Angie. (Thanks Angie. You know that you inspired me to start my own blog.) The award is for "making life a little sweeter" (it's the whole "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade" thing). I've been pondering who to pass the award onto and then I decided that my friend Steve deserves it. For his blog, definitely.

This morning I was working out at the gym. I was in a cardio mood, so I split up my time between the track and the bike. I had left my iPod at home thinking that I would fine without it today. Usually, music is my saving grace during workouts. It keeps my mind from constantly thinking: only 10 minutes more, only 9 more minutes...But even without my iPod, I had a song stuck in my head.

Do you ever feel like you are feeling things more strongly than usual? Things just seem to impact you more. I felt that way for the past couple of days. For example, today, while I was waiting for the crossing guard, aka, the little flashing man/sign, I found myself staring off into space. The rain was coming down, more than a drizzle, but it didn't really matter b/c it was warm outside (is

I am thankful for good conversations. For the chance to speak my heart and listen to the hearts of others - for conversations both in person and over the phone. For laughter. For tears.

This is my post for tonight (or visit Angie's blog at www.springofjoy.org).What is prayer? Why do we pray? Often we think that prayer is when we ask God for things that we need. And I know how superficial that sounds. But sometimes we ask God to watch over our families, to keep us and those around us safe and healthy, or we even ask if God if He will reveal himself to us. But I think prayer

This afternoon, I had a profound thought. Granted, I had been studying at the library for five long hours, so there is the possibility that I was a little, let's say, "out of it," but still, it was a thought. What about your priorities, Natalie? What do you really want to accomplish in life?Now, by priorities I was more so thinking "goals in life." So, what are my goals in and life and will I

As many of you already know, I had a birthday this past weekend. And first and foremost I just wanted to thank EVERYONE for showering me with birthday well wishes. I am still overwhelmed (in a good way) by your kindness in remembering me. I am usually not really big on celebrating my birthday...probably because I am uncomfortable being the center of attention. But I have to say, this was

This weekend I returned to my home away from home in Harrisonburg, VA (Go Dukes Football: 8-1). It was so so nice to visit with friends and catch up on each others' hectic lives. To see how Angie's kids have grown up so quickly. And I didn't think it could happen, but they're even cuter than I remember. It was so so nice to stroll through JMU's campus with Angie and just BEING with her and

I have to admit...it's been a slow start toward the One Thousand Gifts goal I made. We'll keep truckin' though...12. Moonlit walks after dinner. Listening to sounds of the crickets. Looking up to see the stars shining down on me.13. Realizing that THIS moon is the same moon no matter where you are. Whether you're in New Jersey or California, Japan or Italy, South Africa or South America.

A little over three years ago, one of roommate's father died in a terrible plane crash. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember being in my bedroom when my friend Kate knocked on the door. I thought she had just stopped by to say hello and such. But instead, she was there to break the news of our friend's father's death. I was completely and utterly shocked. How was that even

In High School or maybe it was college, I can't remember, I started keeping my "best thing of the day" journal. And ever since, I have kept the journal on and off. Some months, I will be really good and excited to write in it. Other months, I lose interest altogether. It'd be interesting to look back and see if I can find out why I did or did not write it in during different periods of my

Once upon a time, there was a Kitchenette that lived in a new apartment. The Kitchenette was very cute with a yellow tablecloth and matching kitchen curtains...Then one day, the Kitchenette sprang a leak through a small hole in the ceiling.By Monday, the small hole was tired of being so small. "I've been a small hole for too long," it told the ceiling. And so while Natalie was working, the

If you would have asked me 3 months ago, "do you like blueberries?" I would have said, "NO, I don't like the taste of blueberries. Actually, they don't really taste like much of anything. No, blueberries are not for me." Well friends, things have changed. Over the summer, I had a change of heart (or change of taste-buds maybe). So, ask me again.

Just as Superman's weakness was kryptonite, my weakness has to be chocolate chip cookies. You know the commericial that goes, "Lays potato chips, bet you can't eat just ONE." Well, for me, eating just one potato chip is a piece of cake (I mean, it's easy as pie....I mean...it's no problem) But eating just one chocolate chip cookie. I'd say that it is pretty much impossible for me to do. Note

A good friend of mine is about to commence his service to the United States Army. No one in my family or group of friends has served before, and therefore, I am left feeling both proud but also afraid for this new chapter in my friend's life. Regardless of the things Bill has shared and will continue to share with me about the Army, I will never completely understand the life of a soldier. And

Well, where to begin? This past Thursday was one of the best and not worst, but let's say "most tragic", days of the summer thus far. No worries though. It was a funny tragic. This is what happened:My friend invited me to come along and help her feed and groom four horses that she takes care of.

I'd like to give a few shout-outs to complete strangers. Although they may be strangers, these individuals who made "people watching" on the beach this weekend just that much more interesting. How I love the smell and sounds of the beach. And, of course, the sights of the beach too!1. Props to the lady who was wearing a souvenir sombrero on the beach. Straw hats, baseball caps, sun visors.

The title of this entry is NOT a typo. I often write about my family's boat (named "The 4 C's), but i am sad to say that this past weekend due to inclement weather and something called "studying" I was unable to take a voyage on The 4C's, So, what are the 3 C's? I'll tell you.Coffee.Chocolate...Cake.Yes, life is good. It is currently 6:08 p.m. on Thursday. After a short and sweet day in the

Today I was talking with a new friend, a Sister in Christ, and while we talked about "heavy" things, it was good to talk to her. She asked me some tough questions, a few of which I'd like to pass onto you...some food for thought if you will.1- What makes you tick? What "things", if they were taken away, you would be totally lost and broken without? what are thing "things" that make you feel

Sometimes, I consider making new friends to be hard work. And because it's hard work, sometimes I can convince myself that it's TOO hard of work. "It would take too much energy and time to make new friends." I try to convince myself of this. But then I realize, maybe it's not the hard work that I'm afraid of. Maybe I'm afraid of becoming vulnerable with someone else and then, maybe the other

Both in Virginia and now in Pennsylvania, I have been lucky enough to live in two worlds simultaneously. Two environments, at least. And should also add that I'm from New Jersey (or "New Jourzee" to those of you who like to pretend like you can imitate the Jersey accent...j/k). I grew up in the suburbs, in a place where every major highway/business/shopping mall was within a 10 mile radius

Last week I was home visiting with my family. A mini summer vacation. Now, I missed writing a post for mother's day, so I missed sharing about how much I love my mom because she is so confident with who she is and because I just love her! ONE of her (many) great qualities is that she is so comfortable and confident in who she is as a woman, as a mom and as a wife. I admire this greatly.A few

History was made today. I just came upon this by chance. From what I saw...it was quite the event!The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help

You've probably heard about the phrase, "the healing power of touch. " Pretty much, it's a theory (more than a theory really) claiming that the simple act of "touch" can be an awesome connecting force and maybe even a healing force-a force transmitted from one body to another. I believe in the healing power of touch. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't believe in the practice of physical therapy

At the gym today, the NFL draft was on the TV. Although I was wearing my headphones , (therefore I couldn't hear anything they were saying) I decided to watch anyways. Sorry, quick side note. Have you ever seen a silent film or better yet, turned down the volume on one of the daytime soap operas? That's the only way I enjoywatching soap operas-with no sound. I like to make up my own words.

So, you're going about your day, and it's just your normal day (nothing special), but for whatever reason, you are momentarily taken aback. Have you ever felt this way? You stop what you're doing and look around, and it's almost like you're looking at life from a different viewpoint. You notice that the blooming trees look extra bright today. You wonder what it's like to be in someone else's

Yes, it's true! One week from today I will be a "second year" [grad student.] It's surreal to think that I have completed a full year of PT school already. You know the feeling...it's seems like I've been here forever, but at the same time, it feels like just yesterday that I began this whole journey. It feels like just yesterday that I was ordering/recieving my new textbooks in the mail and then

For most summertime boaters (in the Northeast), April is a bit early to be out on the water. Fortunately, we're not most boaters. Today, April 19, 2008, the Four C's boarded The 4C's (that's the name of our boat!) and we had a wonderful, though at times brisk, but overall, wonderful afternoon out on the water. Bob Marley was playing on the radio. The sea air swelled lovely and sweet. And

I have to say something. I think that my blog is very superficial and quite honestly, boring. I don't even enjoy reading what I write so how can I expect my audience, whoever you are, to enjoy it. I want to write about things that actually matter. I'm like the fashion editor of the magazine who hates that she is stuck writing about pointless things when she would love to be writing about

Friday was another beautiful day. Although it was supposed to rain, the weather held out, and thank goodness it did. Why? Well, because today was SPRING FLING 2008!!! What? You don’t know what Spring Fling is? Actually, don’t worry. I didn’t either…. Let me explain. My friend and I were studying at the library like we always do on Fridays before exams.

A close friend of mine just finished her radiation treatment following an 8 month battle with breast cancer. First, praise God that maybe, just maybe, the hardest times are in the past for her. Second, my friend has an AWESOME blog. She was my inspiration for starting my very own blog (which you are reading right now). Blogs aren't the only thing that Angie and I share however. We also

Tonight is a monumentous night. Sometime in the last few years, lactose and me started to disagree. I started having the most painful abdominal cramps either that same day or the next. At first, I tried to just limit my intake of milk and milk products. This helped, but most of the time, I felt better just avoiding all milk products . I tried the lactaid pills and they helped, sometimes.

You'll have to forgive me. I'm new in the blog world. Last post, I wrote, "give yourself a little credit! You are you! You are gifted in many ways."

Today I had the joy of setting my mom up with her very own email...her first ever! We had fun. I guess it's teachers do it all the time, but for me, it was refreshing to slow it all down, and explain what everything means...going back to basics, as they say. It's something I take for granted. Email. Internet. Typing. I've grown up with it, it's easy for me. But then, when you have to teach

It's been a while since my last post, but quite honestly, I haven't felt very witty or inspired nor I have felt like writing. I guess that's the beauty of blog. You are in control of the supply and demand. My spring break started on wednesday, and although, I have been spending the first part of the break recovering from a outpatient surgery I had done on wednesday, I am feeling stronger already

Some things are just embarrassing to purchase at the grocery store. It has taken me 10 or so years to get past feeling embarrassed buying "feminine products;" i always feel sorry if I am in line with a male check-out person. If I am uncomfortable, I imagine he is even more so! But, like I said, I'm just about over that fear.This morning, I had to purchase some prune juice...b/c I like the

I am currently reading Bill Hayes new book, “The Anatomist” a true story of Gray’s Anatomy. Ever since I took anatomy during my junior year at JMU, I have been fascinated with the human body and I have fallen in love with the study of how the body is organized, aka, anatomy. Thus far, I have enjoyed the Hayes’ book, although I must warn you that very little is known about Henry Gray, the author

In case you couldn't tell, I was rooting for Big Blue!When the Giants won the Superbowl, myself and the 20 or so people that I was watching the game with, we all went CRAZY!!!

I have a story/confession. Last night, I was walking out of my apartment. Our front light is out, so it was pretty dark, but I looked down and saw a POSSUM less than 2 feet away. My heart race must have been around 160....ok,maybe not that high, but close enough. Anyway, this leads to my confession. I, Natalie, have the biggest fear of all small, furry, 4-legged creatures that "scurries" along

I was talking to a friend tonight and somewhere between her telling me about her first real art show and me explaining what "joint mobilizations," are and why we use them in physical therapy, the conversation did an about face and we started talking about "deep" stuff.
