Living Legendary

May has been absolutely (you guessed it!) LEGENDARY!  And we’re only half way through!  The first weekend in May, my sister, Sara, married Noah.   Their wedding was pure joy!  I was so thrilled to be her maid of honor.  Another bucket list item checked off!  A year ago, when Corbin wa

I know I’m overdue for an update.  Sometimes when I don’t post it’s because I’m caught up in the moment with life events.  Other times when I don’t post it’s because typing the words out makes it that much more of a reality – that’s been

Yesterday happened to be “World Cancer Day” and I’m unsure about how I feel about that since EVERY day is cancer day in my world. The Stupid Cancer Radio Show last night went really well!  It’s so nice connecting with others who understand the world of cancerland.  W

15 Minutes of Fame I have loved this break from chemo (a vacation & a mostly stable scan result!!) but I’m back to work now, writing this from the chemo room. I wanted to let you know of a few very exciting things coming up and I’d love for you to watch, listen, and maybe even lea

This year for Christmas, I received two amazing gifts, both about making memories. The first gift was a family vacation from my parents.  We haven’t been on a family vacation of this magnitude since 2005 (pre-Corbin, pre-cancer).  This trip was family friendly since Corbin (6) and my
