I’ve noticed with the end of the decade approaching, publications, blogs and Twitter feeds are looking back to how things were 10 years ago.
It seems hard to believe that 10 years ago, Mike and I were watching on TV how various countries around the world were celebrating the millenium. Chrissy was just a baby then, standing [...]
I have been enjoying spending time with my daughter these past two weeks during her school break. Yesterday we were at the art museum when I felt her soft little hand in mine. There were lots of hugs too. Ahh, such a gift!
Of course, after a while she got bored and the whining began. But [...]
I had an interesting comment on Saturday’s post, Taking the “my” out of cancer. The visitor related how she was not afraid of cancer being a death sentence because of her spiritual beliefs that we are going to a better place.
I certainly know that we all are going to die someday, and I also believe [...]
In my last post, I talked about wanting to focus more on the spiritual rather than medical science. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I ignore medical treatments. And there’s something to be said about good news!
This month, I’ve seen some promising updates coming from the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. They’ve had this conference for 32 years, [...]
As you may or may not have noticed, I gave myself a Christmas break from my blog to spend this special time with my family. It’s been mellow, but nice.
This week, I started a healing support group at my church, New Thought Unity Center. My hope is that it will be a place where like-minded people can share spiritual [...]
I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to checking my stats. Every day, I go to Google Analytics to see how many visitors have come to the site since it started Sept. 11, 2009. I’m excited to report that, as of today, more than 2,100 people have visited Miracle Survivors!
It’s really fun to look at [...]
As difficult as it was to receive a cancer diagnosis, I always said to myself, “Thank God it was me and not my daughter.” So I can only imagine the turmoil Deirdre Carey experienced when she was told her beloved six-month-old Charlie had an extremely rare form of brain and spinal cancer. Worse yet, Charlie was given a [...]
A couple of months ago, I met Tom Wilson II, author and Ziggy creator, at a huge, local book event. He was there promoting his memoir, Zig Zagging, Loving Madly, Losing Badly. How Ziggy Saved My Life.
I was struck by Tom’s genuine humility, kindness and compassion, which I believe shines through his book. I spoke [...]
The title of this post is going to be my mantra. I’m realizing that I’m just trying to do too much, and when that happens I make mistakes. And when I make mistakes, I put myself down. This increases my stress, and I don’t take care of myself … You see where I’m going. It’s a vicious, [...]
We’re all busy with the holidays coming up, so I’ll make this quick. Yesterday I featured Ann Fonfa, founder of the Annie Appleseed Project. She had some great basic tips for people like you and me who are living with cancer.
”I tell people the healthier they are going into treatment, the better off they’ll be,” she [...]
