I love going barefoot. I am just one of those people who only wears shoes when absolutely necessary. I have been this way for as long as I can remember. There is something wonderful about walking barefoot, feeling the unique surfaces below your feet. Getting married on the beach was so romantic and special, and one of the best things about it was being barefoot. I think this love of being barefoot has made it even more annoying to deal with nagging heel pain known as Plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. According to the Mayo clinic, “Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners. In addition, people who are overweight and those who wear shoes with inadequate support are at risk of plantar fasciitis.” Well I’m not much of a runner but I am overweight and I do wear shoes with inadequate support (flats and flip flops are my main shoe choice). I did ask my doctor about my heel pain, and she recommended that I work on reducing the inflammation (with ice and ibuprofen) and stretching the fascia. Basically – it was up to me to deal with this. She said I could try a brace to see if that would help. I have tried various methods to help, and some of these techniques have worked better than others. Stretching the fascia or ligament can be done manually, but it’s very awkward to try to pull your toes back to stretch. It feels great when I ask my husband to do this, especially when we are just sitting watching TV. You can also stand on the edge of a stair step and extend your heel below the step to help stretch. Another method that is recommend is to rub your foot across a golf ball or tennis ball, curving your foot around the ball to extend the arch shape and stretch the ligament. Some people even recommend using a frozen golf ball to reduce inflammation as you stretch. I decided to try a Plantar Fascitis Night Splint Brace that my doctor recommended, so I looked on Amazon and found one that was pretty reasonably priced. I followed the instructions and put the brace on my foot and it did feel better the next morning, so I was really encouraged. Unfortunately after a few days the pain returned, despite the brace. I had to look for other solutions. The other techniques involve ways to reduce the pain and inflammation. Using Advil or Aleve products do help, but I don’t think of this as a good long-term solution. Icing the fascia really helps with both the pain and inflammation, but it can be tricky to ice the bottom of your foot. I did find a really great product on Amazon called IcyFeet that is hard plastic molded to the shape of your foot, and you just throw it into the freezer. I found this to be really helpful and no messy dripping, but you do need to wear a sock when you ice your feet, as it does get really COLD. After a few weeks of icing and Advil my heel did feel better, but when I do too much walking or wear flat shoes all day the heel pain can return. I know that losing weight will also help – but of course that involves exercise yet walking and running are a challenge, because if I do too much the pain returns. I keep the Icyfoot ready in my freezer and I do the best I can.

If you are an author, you will have a love/hate relationship with your book reviews. Every author’s heart soars when they read a glowing review – after all who doesn’t love to hear that someone liked your work. Unfortunately, what goes up must come down, and our hearts drop like a stone when we read those negative reviews. Reviews are essential for an author. They not only help us to hone our writing skills, but reviews can be an important marketing tool. As the number of positive reviews increase, book sales and exposure go up as well. I really do try to listen to the feedback that readers give me. I really do want to improve my writing. I also know that some things are simply subjective – some people will find humor where others will not. The one thing I do not understand is reviews that are mean-spirited or just plain unhelpful. The good news so far is that I have only received a couple poor reviews (2 star ratings on Amazon or Goodreads) and I have not received any 1 star ratings. That is, I guess, something to celebrate. I wanted to take the opportunity to share some of the ‘poor’ ratings I received because they clearly illustrate the challenge that authors have with reviews. I recently received this review on Amazon for “The Misadventures of Me and My Uterus” along with a two star rating. I can understand the high reviews this book has, it has great humor and every woman would relate to this book. Once I started reading the book I am not sure if this is the book that has high reviews; it could be that I my expectation was high that I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting an autobiography, but it was turning more like a medical book with some of the terms I am not familiar with. I admit I was confused by this review – she did say it has great humor and every woman would relate to this book, right? I do understand she did not like the medical jargon included in this book, and that is a very valid point. I also understand that sometimes when expectations are too high I wind up not liking something because it fails to meet them. I did try to ensure that all medical terminology was clearly explained, but clearly this reader did not understand the material presented. The majority of the book is a memoir of my personal experience with several healthcare issues so medical jargon was unavoidable, but I can see her point and I do appreciate her purchasing and reading my book, as well as taking the time to leave feedback. I did find it amusing that a different Amazon customer that I have never met actually left a comment on this review: People ought to be willing to learn something new and not expect to merely be comforted and/or entertained by a book. Books are for mental exercise, after all. The next review I want to share is also for “The Misadventures of Me and My Uterus” from one of the Amazon UK customers who also gave my book a 2 star rating: I wanted to like this book I really did but I found it dull. There was some interesting info here but sandwiched by material that was highly irrelevant (such as how great her partner is). That said, writing was good and clear, although not necessarily amusing. Once again – humor is highly subjective and while lots of readers enjoyed my sarcasm, this particular reader did not. At least she thought my writing was good and clear, if not amusing, and I am sorry that she did not appreciate me including my then fiancé into the story, but it is MY story after all, and he really is pretty great. The final review I wanted to share is similar to one that many authors struggle with, a review that is too short & does not provide helpful info. This reviewer gave 2 stars for my new short story, “The Locket” and it said only: Would of been better as a longer story. Seriously? Umm – it said SHORT STORY in the description. Is that the only reason you gave it two stars? Did you like any of it? This is an incredibly frustrating review. It provides very little useful information. Reviews are essential and even negative reviews can be helpful sometimes. Authors will always have to deal with some negative reviews, after all you can't please everyone.

I haven't whined about Menopause for a while now; I have quietly and graciously accepted the night sweats, the long weird hairs growing on my chin, the weight gain, the indigestion, all of the various abuse heaped on women during menopause, but I do have to admit I was fervently hoping that along with all those glorious side effects I would also finally be graced with an end to my monthly period. It seemed like an unfair trade-off, but at least it was a trade-off…but I was wrong. This week I was reintroduced to my monthly visit from the cranky, irritable, bloated and all around yucky feeling that comes along with a visit from my ‘Aunt Flo’. The ONE benefit of menopause is that your period finally stops. I had such high hopes – I had gone almost seven months without a period! I thought I had finally made it to the Promised Land, only to have my hopes dashed. I wish I had this Uterus piñata so I could take my frustrations out on it and beat the crap out of it. My mean spirited uterus just won’t quit. My hubby says that because I am such a fierce Mom, my estrogen is just tougher and more plentiful than other people. I wish there was some way to tell my uterus to knock it off already, that it's time for my uterus to retire, but it seems my uterus isn't willing to just ride off peacefully into the sunset. So now I face all the struggles of getting older along with my stupid old period. I should have known better, after all drug stores put sanitary napkins right next to depends pads - they must know that aging is a gradual and frustrating process. Yes, in nature’s cruel irony, I have the pleasure of dealing with gray hair and oily skin on the same day and it’s not fair. I know there are worse problems in the world, but I really, really, really want to be done with this by now. I doubt I even have any eggs left, and the crazy spring inside my fallopian tubes are blocking those eggs from coming down anyway. Hopefully one of these day my uterus will get the message.

A few years ago my husband and I made the decision to invite a young girl into our home and our heart. What we learned is that the foster care process was both wonderful and awful. We learned that we had an infinite capacity to love, that we were willing to step up when it counted and to offer a young girl a chance at a very different future. We also learned that the foster care system in this country is a mess. We filled out countless forms, we went to meetings and special training, and we found frustration at every turn. Some of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, but most were overworked and overwhelmed by a system with archaic rules that often exasperated rather than supported families. Our application to foster was actually held up because we had a pet hedgehog. We had passed every interview and inspection, but we had mentioned our pet during an introduction game at a mandatory foster parent training and a week later a caseworker called and we were were told that our application could not be approved because hedgehogs are not considered a legal pet in Arizona. It seemed so absurd that a small spiky pet no larger than a hamster would put the placement of a child at risk. Ultimately, we made the difficult decision to no longer continue fostering, but neither of us regret our decision to try and help. Although our situation was not successful, I remain a strong advocate for Foster children and families. Recently an author asked me to review a new children’s picture book, What's a Foster Family? The story is about an only child whose parents start fostering. The goal of this picture book is to raise awareness for foster children and recruit more foster families. I quickly agreed to review the book, and my review is below. What's A Foster Family? by Anne Garboczi Evans My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is a sweet, child friendly way for families to introduce the idea of fostering to young children. The illustrations are simple and effective, and children will relate to and enjoy reading this story. This is a great way for families to introduce the idea of fostering to young children. There are many ways to help Foster children; you can volunteer to become foster parents or you can donate to organizations that support foster children. One of my favorite groups is the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (http://www.affcf.org ). Foster children and families need our help, the statistics about Foster care are staggering: NATIONAL STATISTICS 3,000,000 reports of child abuse or neglect are made every year in the United States? Children who experience child abuse and neglect are 59% more likely to be arrested as a juvenile, 28% more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30% more likely to commit a violent crime? Annually 600 teenage foster children turn 18 & "age-out" of foster care with limited support? 40% of foster children are between the ages of 13 and 21? 50% of foster children drop out of high school? It is estimated that nationally a foster youth change placements about once every six months? 50% of young women previously in foster care will become pregnant by 19 years old? 25% of young men previously in foster care will father a child by 19? 3 in 10 of the nation’s adult homeless are former foster youth? On average, only 7-13% of foster youth enroll in higher education? 1% of former foster children earn a college degree? ARIZONA STATISTICS As of February 24, 2009, Maricopa County has 6,891 children in foster care placements? Currently statewide there are approximately 10,000 children in foster care? 35,000 reports of child abuse or neglect were made in Arizona last year? In Arizona, 1,300 children a year wait more than three weeks in emergency shelters for a family? 60% of child abuse victims also suffer from neglect? A young child is more likely to die of child abuse or neglect in the Phoenix Metro Area than any other area in the Nation? (http://azhope.com/about/foster-care-statistics.php)
