Bernie Siegel advocates being like your pets – enjoying life and living in the moment. Last week I spoke to Bernie Siegel, MD, best-selling author of the classic book, Love, Medicine and Miracles; and most recently, A Book of Miracles—Inspiring True Stories of Healing, Gratitude, and Love. Bernie is incredible; he’s a cross between a wise [...]
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 [...]

I remember feeling very anxious after completing treatment for what was then, stage II breast cancer. I thought, “Now that I’m off treatments, what do I do now and will it come back?” I saw Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Patrick Quillin at a bookstore and purchased it. I looked through it, thought about making [...]
These days I’ve been networking with some fabulous cancer survivors who, like me, are trying to make a difference with their blogs/books. Brenda Coffee is certainly one of them. A while back, my husband Mike reviewed Brenda’s book for caregivers, Husbands and Heroes. Brenda also sent us her guide for newly diagnosed women called The Breast [...]
I have been spending some time lately networking with some terrific cancer survivors who are making a difference in so many ways. Brenda Coffee, a popular blogger, author and breast cancer survivor; is one of them. Brenda recently sent me and my husband Mike her books to review. Mike is much more on the ball than [...]
As my post title says, I think I need to go back and read my own book. If you’ve visited recently, you know that I am getting close to releasing From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds. If all goes well, it should be out by late next month. But it’s been [...]
