Dreams do come true

Call it the power of intention, the law of attraction or simply blessings…whatever it is, I’m sure reaping the benefits of it.
A year and half ago when I was toying with the idea of doing a book, I doubted I was even worthy of considering it. Now it’s months away from becoming a reality. Each step of the way, [...]



Calling all angels: Imerman Angels

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 [...]



Benefit for my friend Cyndi

Around the holidays, I put out a call for my friend Cyndi Wenck and her family. If you remember, Cyndi’s family was already facing a hard time financially after her husband lost his job and their house foreclosed. Then Cyndi was told her cancer came back and it was Stage IV. Now her family is [...]



Hell yes, because I’m worth it!

Remember those Preference by Loreal commercials where the model emphatically states, “Because I’m worth it”?  Well, that’s going to be my mantra these days. It strikes me how absurd it is to worry about money when it comes to saving my life.
Over the past two years, I’ve read books, researched the Internet and piggybacked on what [...]



Blessings and blooms: Susan Farmer

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 [...]



Ten years ago …

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 [...]



Good news on the medical science front …

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, [...]



Taking the “my” out of cancer

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 [...]



Celebrating oneness in the world

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 [...]



Talking to Tom: Ziggy creator gained strength from his character

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 [...]
