What Are Your Resolutions For 2013

The welcoming of the New Year has so many different meanings to so many different people.  For some, the New Year’s Eve parties and celebrations are the focal point.  For others, reflecting on the past year, especially with regard to major events that have perhaps changed their lives is most important.  Then there are those [...]

The Greatest Gift Of All

If you ask me, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.  I love the lights, the decorations, the music, the movies and trying to find just the right presents for everyone.  I love seeing families and friends getting together and sharing the spirit and fun of the season.  But most of all, [...]

Enjoy The Day

As I contemplated the topic for this week’s blog, my thoughts kept going to the massacre of all of those little children in Connecticut.  What happened there is so unbelievable that it just assaults the good senses of most people as we try to absorb what happened and try to make some sort of sense [...]

You Have Cancer? What Next?

You’ve just heard those three words from your doctor, “You have cancer”, and you know that your life will be changed forever.  Now what?  If you are like me, you will do what your doctor tells you to do as you speed through all of the testing and preparation for round one of either treatment [...]

Thanksgiving: 20 People Have Changed My Life

Each year as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and I start my preparations for the big celebration, I can’t help but reflect upon all for which I am most grateful.  I sat down to start making my grocery list and happened to turn on some news at the same time.  It was just in time to [...]

A Hero Moment

I recently came across the following quote: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~Winston Churchill   I pondered this for awhile as I thought about a group of people that I met this week that are living with chronic diseases and/or are working with those [...]

My Breast Cancer Story and Pizza

During the month of October, the makers of Freschetta pizza were helping to promote breast cancer awareness through their The Strength of 1™ campaign, which includes the sponsorship of Bright Pink, the only national non-profit organization focusing on the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women while providing support for [...]

My Gratitude for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This year, for the first time, I felt like I was a part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and not just an observer.  This was because of a number of very special people who most likely have no idea of the impact that they have had on me and a whole new set of goals [...]
