About Barbara

I was born and raised in Williamsport, PA (Home of Little League Baseball).  I moved to California in the 80′s where I met my husband of 15 years.  In July of 2007 I found a lump under my breast that turned out to be breast cancer and had a lumpectomy.  Just four months later, cancer was discovered again resulting in my choosing to have a double mastectomy.  I have lost many members of my family to cancer.  My Father died of lung and brain cancer and in 2008 after a lengthy battle, my baby brother died of renal cancer also known as kidney cancer.  I am also a survivor of domestic violence.  I want to  share stories of my life to let others know that when facing life challenging situations, they are not alone.  Another important fact is that I love martinis, ice cream (chocolate of course), and peanut butter.  Please don’t tell anybody, but sometimes that is my dinner.The inspiration for this website comes from the inspirational music CD that my husband Kirk and I created together called Let Life Happen.
