Hope you all had a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! Today we have a very special guest blogger: my 10-year-old daughter Chrissy. My budding writer did a post on our family blog to reflect on gratitude. I may be biased, but I think she has a lot of wisdom to share. Here’s what she has to say: I [...]
I just got back from the Thanksgiving holiday. I love stuffing and other such goodies, but it is not part of my diet plan. So I’m back to my own food and routine, including this blog. One of the great side benefits of doing this is being connected to some great experts like Dr. Gary [...]
I’ve changed my view of Thanksgiving lately. I used to think it was all about pigging out and visiting relatives. Now I’ve been focusing more on what its name intended: giving thanks. A friend of mine started a page on Facebook, which is a daily gratitude list. I think it’s a great idea, but I [...]
Is this a message? Copyright Andy Dooley. I draw my spiritual resources from many places. I was raised Jewish (more cultural than religious), but I go to Unity on Sundays and follow Joel Osteen’s TV program and books. My Grandma Shirley would be rolling in her grave if she knew. Hey, it works for me! [...]
Denny and Theresa Seewer Denny Seewer and his wife Theresa, live in a small town called St. Marys, my husband Mike’s hometown. We’re heading to St. Marys for Thanksgiving, so I thought it would be a perfect time to share this Miracle Survivor’s story. Back in 1975, Denny was young husband and father of a [...]
Here’s the link to the Enquirer article for those out of town or who missed it. I only have one quote, but there’s two pictures of Chrissy and me in the printed version – (one when I was first diagnosed with hair growing back and one they took this week of us). I guess it [...]
I’m someone who hates getting her picture taken – unless they take out all the wrinkles with PhotoShop, and it’s approved by me. Until recently, I have avoided attention. I guess this cancer diagnosis has changed things. I take chances, like exposing details of my life on this blog and book. When I was working in public relations, [...]
This is part 3 and the final installment of the series on affirmations by Terry McBride, inspirational speaker and author of The Hell I Can’t. Terry has an audio program called Everybody Wins. I would listen to it in the car and when I was cleaning the house. I’m a visual person, so one of the analogies [...]
I know I promised one more installment of Terry McBride’s interview, but I feel I need to address the ridiculous recommendations for breast cancer screening released recently. A government task force has ignored the American Cancer Society’s and most doctors’ recommendations for getting annual mammograms at age 40 and doing self breast exams. They’re saying you don’t need [...]
This is Part II of my interview about affirmations with Terry McBride, speaker and author of The Hell I Can’t. See yesterday’s post for Part 1. Affirmations are very individual, depending on the person. When I do my affirmations, I usually start right where I am. If I do an affirmation that is so far [...]
