One of the single most important things that I have learned since writing my very first blog is that by telling my story, I am helping other people who have been or currently are in the same circumstances that I have experienced. I have also learned that once other people read or heard your story and know that others have …
Let Life Happen TALK
In case you didn’t catch the messages last evening, Let Life Happen TALK launched its first internet broadcast at 8:00 p.m. It was almost as much of a surprise to me as it is to you as Kirk did not tell me about it until late Friday afternoon after he had the whole thing all set. However, I must say …
A Special Tribute to My Husband
January 22nd has become a very special day to me. Not only is it the 2nd anniversary of writing my weekly blog but also I walked out of the doctor’s office yesterday after my final follow up after my reconstructive surgery. I feel so free.

No New Year’s Resolutions for Me
Every year I start out by making one or more New Year’s resolutions. And every year, long before we are even half way through, those resolutions are long forgotten.
