I’m a mom of 2 teenage boyz, 15 and 17, exhausting! I’m also a wife to a very wonderful husband who happens to be a massage therapist and a musician. He does both very well. I live in a small town on the Central Coast where the sites are absolutely beautiful. I have 2 cats, Egypt and Callie, both are calicos. I also have a parakeet named Isis. I am currently in the healing process for cancer treatments and doing well. I have 3 more treatments to go and then I’m done with all the poison, Yeah!!! I love to read and network on the computer. I love taking walks by the beach. I love listening to the birds in the morning when I wake up. And I don’t take my life for granted. I’m always grateful for still being alive and doing as well as I am. That comes from the LOVE my husband and my children have given to me throughout this journey. And by the Grace Of God.

I’m currently working on getting some stationery started so if anyone has any suggestions on how to break-into this arena I would be open for suggestions. I want to do something for ‘cancer’, so I’m developing something very specific, but it’s taking some time. Hopefully in the next few months it will be ready for full-on publication. I will also have a % that will go to the American Cancer Society for support in research. I know there’s being a lot done out there, but I feel I can contribute in this way and feel like I’m giving something back. I think anyone who has dealt with cancer feels some sort of desire to give back for all that they’ve received, and to push the funding for research even further.

I am also beginning to return to work in small increments. It’s not easy, the job I have is very demanding and can be at times VERY stressful. So, this is where I learn to use affirmations heavily. And remember to BREATHE. If you don’t get enough oxygen to the brain and the body, stress settles very quickly inside. Breathing helps to move the stress in another direction.

My life is good right now. I’m am considering going back to school while I have the time and maybe change my direction as far as the field that I work in. I’m a Medical Records Director for a skilled nursing facility and it’s sometimes just too demanding. It takes a lot out of you, regardless of how grounded you are. But I am grateful that I have a job, and that my employer has supported me throughout this entire year and a half journey. They have been very supportive. And I do work with a wonderful group of nurses. It’s not all gloom and doom. There are lots of ‘smile’ days.

I’m also praying that my husband’s music career really takes off. He’s been a semi-professional musician in his past life, many years before we married. And now, with all that’s happened to me, he’s rediscovering what really makes him happy, and that’s his music. What a blessing!!! He loves playing music and it’s in his blood. So, with a lot of hard work and good fortune, he’ll make it happen the way he wants this time around. I would love to see that happen and see him enjoy the rewards of his hard work. He soo deserves it. He’s one of the most compassionate men I know of, beyond God, and he truly deserves to have his music out there. He writes from his heart and his experiences. He also tries to bring a message of hope and well-being to the planet through his music, and that’s why I love his music. If you’d like to sample it you can go to myspace/project41band and hear some of what I’m talking about. Just a little plug for the band. It’s all good..:)
