Cancer: Helping Others

As I concluded a second Let Life Happen radio broadcast last evening on the subject about “how did you react when someone told you that they had cancer”, I wanted to thank each and every person who posted a comment or shared a story on this subject.  As we all know, that is a really hard subject with [...]

How Did You React When Someone Told You That They Had Cancer – Part 2

One of the hardest thing that anyone might ever have to do is to hear that a family member or loved one or friend has cancer. It has happened to just about every single person that I know.
Although we addressed this topic last week, I wish to continue the discussion this week, but I have [...]

How Did You React When Someone Told You That They Had Cancer?

One of the hardest thing that anyone might ever have to do is to hear that a family member or loved one or friend has cancer. It has happened to just about every single person that I know. I have been in the role of being the recipient of that news from my father and [...]

How Do You Tell Someone That You Have Cancer?

One of the hardest things that anyone might ever have to do is to hear the words, “You have cancer”.  But, for me and I am sure for many others, that wasn’t nearly as difficult as having to tell loved ones about the cancer.  This week on Let Life Happen TALK, I would like to [...]

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 [...]

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.  But, the next thing that came into my mind is [...]

Happy Anniversary to Me

Next Friday, January 22nd, will mark the 2nd anniversary of my writing this weekly blog.  Now while to many this may not seem to be any big accomplishment, it truly is a major milestone for me.  The main reason for that is that I came to this task kicking and screaming, in my own way.  [...]

A Call to Action for Women’s Medical Rights

As a two-time breast cancer survivor, I have been carefully watching all of the controversy that has been going on from the testing of young women for the breast cancer gene through the universal health care debates and now, the new recommendations for breast cancer and cervical cancer screening.  I have finally reached the point [...]

So You Think You Can Dance and the Breast Cancer Connection

“So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer Tyce DiOrio created an unbelievably moving dance routine for this week’s episode centered on a woman with breast cancer. The number was performed by Ade (pronounced Ah-day) and Melissa who danced so beautifully that everyone, including all of the judges, was moved to tears.
As was discussed collectively in [...]

Happy Anniversary

Today Kirk and I celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary.  It would have also been my parents’ 68th anniversary if they were still alive.  As I told Kirk at the time, I wanted to get married on that date because if our marriage was half as successful as theirs was, I would really be very happy.  [...]
