“You have cancer.” Those are the words a person never expects to hear in their lifetime. It only happens to other people. It won’t touch me or my family. At least that’s what I thought until everything changed in early 2014. I was 30 years old, the best shape of my life and a healthy […]

I survived.  I’m still breathing.  I’m alive. New Year’s Resolutions?  I don’t make those anymore.  I have life goals.  I certainly have a bucket list.  There’s a few other things up my sleeves that I want to share with the world if I’m so lucky to be able to do so. Four years ago I […]

Joke:  What pounds in your ear? Answer:  The eardrum. BOOM.  The most awesome joke ever that was made up by yours truly at the age of 10.  I sent that off to the Laffy Taffy Corporation and it was accepted.  It’s totally on the inside of the wrappers.  Not even sure if that’s still a […]
