I’m heading off for my girls’ weekend, Pink Ribbon Girls, that is. Thanks to my lovely group of gals for sponsoring me to go the Young Survival Coalition conference in Atlanta.
I’m looking forward to spending time with my buddies, as well as learning more about breast cancer research and issues. I’m really excited about doing [...]
As I write this, I am thinking of Heather Ray. I learned last night that Heather passed away. You might remember me mentioning Heather in previous posts. She was the beautiful, strong “miracle woman” who I saw in the chemo suite. She only had one leg (she lost one to bone cancer as a child) and [...]
Yesterday, I was feeling a little down for some reason. I think it’s because I wrote my last story for my book. Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled to have it almost done, but it was a little bit of a let-down, too. It has been such a healing experience and honor to hear [...]
There’s something about having a book cover design that makes this all seem more real! Let’s just say it hasn’t been an easy task. I must have gone through 1,000 stock photos and a dozen design concepts before deciding on this one.
My heartfelt thanks goes out to Randall Reese, my designer. Randall also took the photo, which is [...]
Call it luck or divine intervention. Last month I was having lunch at Noodles & Company with a friend and put my card in their fishbowl. I didn’t think much about it until I received a call congratulating me that I won a “Hero’s Lunch,” a meal (actually lunch or dinner) for 10 people. Basically, [...]
The other day we received LiveStrong Magazine in the mail. It was their first issue, and they had a great article about Kris Carr, the Crazy Sexy Cancer author whom I’ve mentioned in past posts.
They included a wonderful quote/tip from her book: ”Nobody can predict the future; don’t be gunned down by what you hear. [...]
It’s freezing here, so I’m really looking forward to spending a few days in Florida for the Annie Appleseed Complementary and Alternative Cancer Therapies Conference. I’m eager to learn more about ways I can empower myself and others to live a long and healthy life. A big thanks to my support group, Pink Ribbon Girls, for [...]
Happy 2010! I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s holiday. Mike and I rang in the new year by attending the wedding of a friend and fellow Pink Ribbon Girl (my support group for young breast cancer survivors). It was especially poignant seeing this beautiful, young woman marry the man of her dreams and experience happiness after all of her [...]

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! What I [...]
