Finding My Second Wind
For the first time in a long while, I feel a spark again.It’s subtle, but it’s there — a second wind that’s guiding me toward something meaningful. I have a few projects on the horizon that I’m genuinely excited about, and that excitement feels… new. Familiar in a way, yet deeply different. Maybe that’s because…

Grieving the Old Me with Stage IV Cancer
Grief with stage IV cancer isn’t just about death—it’s about losing pieces of yourself while you’re still here. I grieve the life I had. The ability to plan a day and actually do it. The energy to say yes without wondering if I’ll be too fatigued, in pain, or stuck at another surprise blood draw.…

I’m baaaack!
It’s been a minute since I’ve written anything. Been a bit busy. I just looked and I haven’t posted since March 2023! Wow! Okay, so… We moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in November 2024. Pete actually moved in October 2024, because I stayed behind to deal with the house! I finally just picked up and let…

Several other birthdays and losses in the month of October. It’s also that Breast Cancer Awareness month that I have come to have a really hard time with.…

Stuff, Stuff and More Stuff
So many things going on these days, its sort of a whirlwind! I am in the midst of trying to wrap my head around some sort of schedule. I feel like the last few months I’ve just been flying by the seat of my pants and have no control over anything. Not that there is…

May Update
I guess I’m only going to update once a month these days. I’m kind of slacking, but, in my defense, I’ve been super busy with things. So it’s been kind of crazy. So let’s see what’s gone on the last 2 months! Business: Geeze. So much work. I pretty much have most everything in place.…

Updates and fun things
I updated my hair chronicles and I didn’t realize I haven’t posted since the end of January. So Here we are 10 months post chemo, 9 months post surgery and almost 5 months since radiation and treatment ended. Seems like a complete life ago. I still tell people I just moved here because I really…
