This time of year is always one of reflection to me. My husband Mike and I took a nice long walk this weekend and discussed what an amazing year 2011 was for us. Molly MacDonald, founder of the Pink Fund that provides financial aid to Michigan residents undergoing treatment, asked me to blog about it for [...]
I had a very interesting interview on a Detroit radio station for a program called God 321. I met the host Danny Hutchins at The Pink Fund Crazy Sexy Luncheon of all places! I am grateful to my friend Molly MacDonald, who leads this wonderful organization, for introducing us. I was apprehensive on being on [...]
Ah Facebook, I just can’t seem to leave it alone! I’m a social person, and most of the time I’m sitting at home on my computer alone without coworkers to chat with or a boss to pile work on me. So I find myself trolling on Facebook to get a peek into people’s lives and thought processes. [...]
Last year I heard an amazing story on NPR. Dr. Vincent Tuohy, an immunologist at The Cleveland Clinic was developing a vaccine to prevent breast cancer. Last year, Dr. Tuohy released his findings: a first-of-its-kind vaccine to prevent breast cancer, which has shown extremely favorable results in animal models. The researchers found that a single [...]
Sometimes I sit at my computer and wonder if anyone is out there. Sure, I read my stats and know people are following my blog. But it’s sure nice to hear from my readers and know that their lives have been enriched somehow from the work I’m doing. I’ve made some really great online friends from [...]
I haven’t had a chance to post in a while with all my travels. I’ve had an exciting week so far. On Saturday, my husband and I traveled to Detroit to attend The Pink Fund luncheon/fundraiser featuring Kris Carr, best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor and Crazy Sexy Diet. I was [...]
With October approaching, I’ve been thinking about what breast cancer organization to support. There are so many! I’ve become disillusioned with Komen, given their questionable marketing relationships and relatively low percentage of funds going to research. I wanted to find an organization that is aggressive about finding a cure. I recently had the opportunity to [...]
I love roadtrips with my family. While we’re in the car, we have great discussions we normally wouldn’t have with our personal devices, computer and TV as distractions. On a recent trip, my husband Mike gave me a wonderful idea for my book, From Incurable to Incredible: “You have all these great questions at the end [...]
It’s been a little over a year since I released my book, From Incurable to Incredible. Today, I’m going to be on a radio talk show (1 p.m., Bill Cunningham, WLW-700 for you local folks) to discuss what my year has brought. I was on the show last summer, and he asked me to come [...]
Last week I returned from Salt Lake City where I was presenting at the grand opening of the Jordan Valley Breast Care Center. The fabulous event featured 10-minute massages, pedicures, manicures, food and giveaways, including free copies of From Incurable to Incredible™. The turnout was fantastic and everyone was so nice and inviting. The morning [...]
