Whew! I’m finally coming up for air after being out of town, then a solid week of editing my book.
I am still coming down from the excitement of attending the Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer conference. As a Pink Ribbon Girls scholarship recipient – and new board member – I have the task of [...]
As I was saying in my previous post, I had a great time at the Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer conference this past weekend in Atlanta. I don’t think I’ve ever been anywhere with so many women in one place.
So imagine my surprise when I boarded the hotel shuttle and the first person I [...]
This weekend, I had the honor and privilege of attending the 10th Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer in Atlanta. The event, sponsored by the Young Survival Coalition and Living Beyond Breast Cancer, attracted more than 900 women from around the nation.
My friend Ashley Oehler (who took this lovely picture) were among [...]
Flowers – and love – do have power.
It’s in the teens here on this gloomy, winter day. What better time to think about spring with all it’s beautiful, fragrant flowers?
Miracle Survivor, Susan Farmer, was facing an extremely gloomy period of her life in 2001 when she was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. Debilitated from treatments [...]
It’s been an interesting couple of days. Yesterday I met with Dr. Gary Huber who has guest posted on my blog (www.healthyalterego.com). It was a real eye opener.

OK, now that I have your attention, I want to admit that I’m kind of a prude when it comes to sex. It’s not something I talk about, and it certainly has not been top of mind these days as a person living with cancer. And that’s the problem; I think survivors spend so much [...]
As I was catching up on my newspapers, I came across an interesting article about a study at The Ohio State University on the Amish and cancer. Not surprisingly, they found the Amish have a lower incidence of cancer than the rest of us.
Part of the reason is that they grow and raise their own [...]
I’m back home from the Annie Appleseed conference and, as promised, I will share what I learned. There is way too much for me to share on a post or even multiple posts, but I’ll do my best to boil down the highlights as I saw them.
The best part of the conference? The fabulous people [...]
Well my friend Ashlie and I finally made it to West Palm Beach for the Annie Appleseed Conference. I was wondering if we’d ever get here, given the five-hour delay with our flight. Snow closed Chrissy’s school, as well as most in the city. It was sunny and in the sixties when we arrived, but [...]
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 [...]
