Wednesday, June 30, 2010. To Be or Not To Be, The Skunk Replies. To be or not to be– that is the question:. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles. And, by opposing, end them. William Shakespeare. I'm going all English Lit rogue on you tonight. I keep thinking about this, to be or not to be. Sometimes I lose track which one I'm doing or which one I should be doing or which one I feel like doing. I am sick of fondue.

They exist because you believe yourself. Undeceive yourself and be free. You are not a person. You learn somethin this year? It was the worst year of my life. It was the best year of my life.

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Almost Three Years Out. My friend Jenny gave me a great book to read, it's by Regina Brett, a breast cancer survivor and columnist for the Plain Dealer, out of Cincinnati. I am really enjoying this little book of simple common sense treasures, and it's for anybody, not just my cancer peeps. I highly recommend it. Jenny also forwarded me Regina's latest column regarding her fifteen year "cancerversary.". What have I changed since my cancer diagnosis? Way better at managing my...

I thank you so much for all your love and support during a challenging recovery, and will be blogging about it this week. Click on this link to read her statement. That is not to say it makes losing your breasts any easier, even with all the love and support we receive from the men who love us, and the plastic surgery options available for reconstruction.

Thursday, November 20, 2014. Our Fall this year was filled with glory. We celebrated Cara's 23rd birthday. We cried with joy when Adam proposed at the lake over Labor Day weekend. Our hearts were broken when Cara left us in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 14. Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile. William Cullen Bryant. For me, the year's last loveliest smile will always be this one. How beautiful leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days. John Burroughs. When proble...

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. You Glow Girl, Boom Boom Pow. Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. This happens often in Cancerland. Even with all these well intentioned medical professionals focused on getting the job done, killing the cancer in my body. They are often so focused, on one particular area, it's easy for them to lose track of the rest of me. Hello, I'm up here, look up and away from my boobies, yes, that's it, here I am. Now listen. I was foolishly thinking now I'm finally to the e...

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Rocking the Crap and The Wabi Sabi. Thank you Shell for the guest appearance text while I was writing tonight, and telling me I am "rocking the crap" as a reply to my self doubt. You know about Wabi sabi? No it's not that spicy green paste you put on your California Roll. Wabi sabi is a Japanese worldview that beauty is found in imperfection and simplicity, guided by three realities, "nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.". To wear them a couple of months?

Friday, March 15, 2013. There is always so much to pray about, friends and family whose hearts are burdened in dark valleys looking for answers and God's comfort and a way out. Isaiah 65:24 Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear. In addition to my Bible and other current reading, there is a little book I keep on my nightstand,. My son Adam aka Batman and his girl, Cara. I love you Cara, it won't always be like this Hon, it will get better and better! I was blessed to meet...
