I have been gone from here for quite a while. I did not realize just how long until I looked the other day. It has been so long that I even forgot my password and username! It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to write about. But it just got pushed to the side to … Continue reading Life Does Go On
A Change of Season and Style
My favorite season is Summer. Closely followed by Spring. I hate cold weather, coats, gloves, scarves, boots…the whole shebang. I am one of those people that are always cold. It doesn’t matter what season it is, if you come to my house and I am watching TV, I will have a blanket on. I could … Continue reading A Change of Season and Style
October…Again
Yes, it is October again. On October 1, everything turns pink. From the water in fountains to NFL sneakers to soup cans. It is everywhere. But does it really mean anything? Does it accomplish what it is supposed to? For breast cancer fighters, survivors, and thrivers, we don’t need a month to become aware of … Continue reading October…Again
All Is Not What It May Seem
The adage is true… you can’t judge a book by its cover. I recently read an article that was shared on Facebook by a fellow cancer survivor. The article was about how people think that since you look “normal” after completing your cancer treatments that you must be doing fine. Sometimes that is just not … Continue reading All Is Not What It May Seem
It’s Ok…
My parents were older when they had me. When I born, my mom was 45 years old and my dad was 50 years old. Until I was old enough to have a job I had to go wherever my parents would go. One of the things we did a lot of was visiting. We would … Continue reading It’s Ok…

That definitely happened when I was first diagnosed with my breast cancer. It unfortunately altered my memories of what should have been an … Continue reading So Grateful….Years Later
Mission: Get Healthier – The Laundry Room
Hopefully you read my entries about my mission to get healthier, the kitchen versions. Replacing detergents for dishwashers and washers seems to be the hardest task to tackle. Especially if you have hard water like I do. Today, I would like to share with you the story of the wicked little washer… When I complain … Continue reading Mission: Get Healthier – The Laundry Room
A Badge of Courage
As I was going through my treatment, I would set little “goals” for myself to reach. In the beginning, my goal was to just make it through all the tests and those results. Some days were a lot harder than others. “If I can just make it through these first four rounds of chemo...”, I … Continue reading A Badge of Courage
Matter of National Security?!?!
I get it, our world is crazy. You can’t trust anyone. There is no “typical profile” of a criminal anymore. It could be that nice neighbor with the two cute little girls you wave hello to each morning. It could be the quiet boy in the neighborhood that “keeps to himself” and plays video games … Continue reading Matter of National Security?!?!
Making Changes…in the Kitchen, Part 3
Do It Yourself. Everyone has tried one of these projects or ideas somewhere along the line. Me, I’m a sucker, for a good DIY! I love Pinterest. However, for my husband the word Pinterest is the equivalent to a curse word. He cringes whenever I say it! On my quest to make some healthier changes … Continue reading Making Changes…in the Kitchen, Part 3
