“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 Am Woman, Hear Me Roar
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 […]
Wild Ride
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 […]
