A Medical Update
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Thursday, December 04, 2008
Hi friends and family! Since I’ve been very open with you over the past few weeks in sharing about my little medical situation and last week’s surgery, I wanted to give you an update on my post surgery appointment yesterday and subsequent diagnosis.
During last week’s surgery, additional tissue was excised and sent to pathology for analysis. After several long days of waiting, we learned yesterday... READ MORE
Saying Farewell
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Wednesday, December 03, 2008
Last week, our parish and school community were hit hard by the sudden loss of two of our members to untimely deaths. So this week, we will be gathering twice within three days as a community to celebrate Masses of Christian Burial.
Yesterday was the first of the two funerals, to celebrate the life of a seventeen year old who had been suffering protracted illness and injury for the past year. Russell’s... READ MORE
Pedometer Giveaway Update
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Congrats to Jeannie, lucky #55 and winner of last week’s TraQ Any-Wear Pedometer giveaway sponsored by Sportline.
I hope that Jeannie will enjoy her pedometer as much as I’ve liked mine, and that the rest of you will consider adding a pedometer to your wish list and joining me in my quest for steps!
And just so you don’t feel disappointed if you’re not Jeannie, I thought I’d offer you another... READ MORE
Happy New (Liturgical) Year
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, November 29, 2008
With tomorrow being the First Sunday of Advent, we celebrate the beginning of our new liturgical year.
I’m a huge resolution-maker, likely because I have so many areas that need improvement in my life! So I always love the beginning of a new liturgical year for the opportunity to reflect upon the past year of my life and to look forward to the future.
Last weekend at Mass, our homilist Msgr.... READ MORE
Blacking Out?
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Friday, November 28, 2008
It’s likely that by the time you read this, some of you may already have had a full morning of shopping!
I have friends who make an annual ritual of rising at 4:00 AM, gathering for coffee, and heading out to the local shopping centers to hit the big sales on the day after Thanksgiving, also known as “Black Friday” in the retail industry.
I want to offer a reminder that as you find yourself shopping... READ MORE
Waste Not

Recently, in my hometown paper, food columnist Joan Obra wrote a fascinating column entitled “Rotten food in refrigerator adds up to too much waste”.
Sadly, Joan’s article is not online, but it left such an impact upon me that I wanted to share a few of her most important points with you here and get your ideas on the topic as well. Joan recommended that in advance of going out shopping for the... READ MORE
Stepping Out
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Tuesday, November 25, 2008
As part of my “journey" to a better life with the 3D Plan, one of my favorite aspects of the program is that it recommends wearing a pedometer and tracking daily step count.
Luckily for me, the great folks at Sportline recently sent over a totally nifty pedometer for review. I’ve had pedometers in the past, starting with one that came in a McDonald’s salad a few years back. But this model, the... READ MORE
Medical Musings
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Saturday, November 22, 2008
In early October, I shared with you - my Faith and Family Live! friends - that I would be treating myself to a mammogram in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I fessed up to the fact that I’d been negligent for the past few years when it came to tending to my own health care. I felt healthy and great, so it came as a bit of a surprise to me when my initial mammogram turned into a... READ MORE

Two for You
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Thursday, November 20, 2008
With the holiday season approaching, most of us are thinking about gifts for our friends and families, but today I’d like to invite you to give two gifts to yourself or the special women in your life.
The gifts I have in mind are two wonderful new books, both written by my good friend Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle and now available through Circle Press.
The Domestic Church: Room by Room is a lovely... READ MORE
