Dealing With Death
When I heard of the death of Michael Jackson I was totally shocked as was everyone else in the country. I grew up with him, had a childhood crush on him and truly loved his music. The second half of his life was difficult to deal with since he was such an icon. I was […]
My Dad
Celebrating fathers day last Sunday was a wonderful experience that I look forward to each year. First my dad came and spent the weekend with us, something he does not get to do often anymore. Second, I was able to gather almost the entire family for a barbeque along with kids, grandkids and some very […]
Sample Book
Read the sample book over the weekend and so did my husband. We are both pleased with the finished product but it still needs some changes. Just a couple or mild adjustments and we should be ready to let all of you be able to read my story. When I proof read I try to […]
My Conference with CHOP
The Children’s Circle of Care is probably one of the most amazing and wonderful experiences my husband and I have experienced as far as charitable organizations.

They are very excited that we are donating the profits to them and are willing to help in any way possible. I look forward to working a bit closer with both of these folks and feel very confident that there […]
How Did They Do It?
Today I went to brush my hair and thoughts swept through me from my childhood. Actually it was a story my mother told me when I was a bit older and recovering from my cancer. As she brushed my long blonde hair when I was so very sick, she told me that she would cry. […]
My Inspiration
Today I was doing my normal gym routine, and got caught up thinking about someone who inspires me. A very close friend of mine had been through a double mastectomy over the past 10-15 years and loves life to the fullest every waking moment. Whenever I am around her I feel inspired that she can […]

Memories
With the deep snow falling in the north today, memories of my childhood creep into my thoughts today. As a child, the snow came more frequently during the winter and my memories of playing in it come back to life. The only problem was while I was very sick I would bundle up to play […]
