  1. 2 1/2 Years Later I Am Still Alive
    Jul 7, 2022 · original
    I have a shirt that says “I Am Still Alive” across the front of it, and I am wearing it right now. It’s fitting as I type in this space for the first time in 2 1/2 years! It was created by the late David Wenzel and mimics a tattoo he had written backward across his chest so that he could see it reflected correctly in the mirror each day. As a cancer fighter, it reminded him to keep fighting. It’s written backward on the shirt, too. It’s one of my favorites & I remember David fondly every time I wear it. I have so many stories about this very shirt. One of the most poignant stories will be in a book I’m soon to publish, but I digress. I’m not sure what has prompted me to log into this online space that meant so much to me for so many years. I guess I just wanted to say hi, and that I’m still alive. I say that a bit tongue in cheek, but also for real…I’m so very thankful to be alive. 11 ye
  2. An Engagement, Writing Retreats and Heart’s Desires at Highlands
    Nov 11, 2019 · original
    I’ve had a secret heart’s desire for a few months now. I’ve wanted a little get-away, some solitude, a writer’s retreat. I have an important writing project deadline at the beginning of next year, so now that fall is almost over, this desire has been felt a bit more acutely. The idea of a retreat was not a demand or need, just a little nudge of thought in the back of my mind, a desire of my heart that only God and a couple of my besties would know about. Desire of My Heart “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 “Be faithful in a little, and he will give you much” Luke 16:10 God has a way of weaving stories and heart’s desires and bringing them about in ways I couldn’t even begin to dream up on my own. I am in the middle of a beautiful moment in his tapestry of this life that I get to live. It is a moment that I honestly can’t believe I
  3. 12 Fun YouTube Videos That Help Me Live Well
    Oct 14, 2019 · original
    Goodness, it has been a hot minute since I have written on this site. I miss it! This past summer had me living day by day, minute by minute…and I have loved it. It was a strange feeling as I am usually a planner and like to think ahead and stick with the plan. When God is in the minutes, living moment by moment is so very fulfilling and I feel more present than I ever have in my life. Minute by minute is a great way to live well! It is not natural for me and the fall is bringing rhythms I am thankful for, but even now, I am enjoying a more fluid schedule and the unknown adventure each day brings. I will share more about what I’ve been doing in these more fluid moments soon, but for now…lets talk YouTube videos! Here are some fun YouTube videos I have loved that have helped me live well in the moments lately. I love watching YouTube videos while relaxing in the evening. Notice how many i
  4. Oceans of Grace When Discouraged, Depressed, Sad or Mad
    Jun 26, 2019 · original
    This is how God works with me. I seek his face, my own expressionless, staring out the window Smeared mascara, tears wiped away with a swipe of my wrist while doing dishes. Heart sad, my spirit so discouraged. My lack is in my face. I go upstairs and gather my tools to enter into His presence. Coffee, journal, blanket, fan, pen, books, phone… A habit that carries me into the only thing that brings hope. A holy habit. I seek his face. I draw close to him because he promises he will do the same. “draw close to God and he will draw close to you” James 4:8 Sometimes I leave feeling empty even though I know I’m not, for he is always with me and within me. And sometimes I receive multiple kisses from the God I so love, a feeling that overwhelms my broken heart and it becomes fixed and full, and feels like it might burst. I deep breathe and think about His presence in me, fully known and fully
  5. Let’s Talk | Life Update
    May 31, 2019 · original
    I’m sitting at a new to me table in my updated sunroom, in the mood to talk…so let’s talk! Boy, I have missed writing on this blog. It has been a while, and this year I’ve only written a handful of posts. The year started out with: healing from surgery in January, a bout with vertigo in February, a life-changing local cancer conference that I spoke at in March learning how to be witness and extracting story in April and a donut-filled graduation celebration in May. I’ve taken it slow on this blog of mine since that conference back in March, where I spoke of “pivoting’ in my talk to a room of beautiful fighters, survivors and caregivers…a talk of which I will share here on the blog soon. I looked out in the crowd as I took in a breath before speaking and thought, “These are my people.” An impression that was quite dramatic, and took away any nerves I had standing in front of an audience,
  6. Blender Banana Oat Gluten-Free Pancakes
    May 6, 2019 · original
    These Blender Banana Oat Pancakes are hearty, gluten-free and tastes just like the gluten-free pancakes from our favorite breakfast restaurant. They take only minutes to whip up and use those ripe bananas that are always have sitting around. A Pancake Tradition I have a tradition with my girls of taking them to breakfast after orthodontist appointments. If your teens have had braces, you know these appointments happen often…about every 3-4 weeks for over a year! Because of this, and the cost of braces, we staggered it and had our girls in braces just one at a time. I loved using these ortho appointments as an opportunity to have a breakfast date with my girls, but wanted to send them to school with a belly full of healthy food and I didn’t want to pay too much for it! Because of this, we found a local breakfast restaurant called The Egg and I, and ordered the same gluten-free oatmeal pan
  7. Creating Hygge in my Sunroom With Facebook Marketplace
    Apr 10, 2019 · original
    Thank you Facebook Marketplace for sponsoring this post. There’s something for everyone! I have a fun new hobby of turning another’s used into something NEW thanks to Facebook Marketplace . I wanted to create hygge in my sunroom now that the weather is finally nice! Just last week, my sunroom was full of broken down cardboard boxes that were needing to go to recycling and was quickly becoming overloaded with stuff. It is the first greeting for my guest when they visit, so this was not ok. It needed a little TLC, but I needed to keep it simple and inexpensive. This is where Facebook Marketplace comes in. Facebook Marketplace has made it so fun and easy to browse and buy items from your local community, and sell any items that are in your home and need a new home. Make money while minimizing and beautifying my home? Yes, please! It really could not be more simple. If you can take a photo w

I had 2 of the best physical therapist that specializes in vertigo treatment, and after just 3 sessions with them, my vertigo was completely gone. If you suffer from vertigo, there are maneuvers that you must try! Yes, you can find some YouTube videos that show these maneuvers, but I highly recommend finding a physical therapist that is trained. The maneuvers that worked on me we
  9. Mastectomy, Reconstruction and Finding Warmth and Comfort with Elemental
    Mar 5, 2019 · original
    This post was sponsored by All words and opinions are mine. It has been 8 years since my mastectomy and reconstruction due to breast cancer, and it’s been quite a ride. I’ve had several surgeries because of reconstruction complications over the years, which is quite common with mastectomy reconstruction, so I know I am not alone. It was so it was strange to focus and heal elsewhere with my most recent oophorectomy surgery . It was a much easier surgery than what I am used to and I am so happy to be fully healed from that! Focusing elsewhere may be shortlived, however, as I will be needing another breast reconstruction surgery in the future. I am prone to keloids and have scar tissue pushing my implant toward the center, and causing discomfort. The discomfort is bearable, but if it gets worse it will become more than a nuisance. I am hoping to put this surgery off as long as possible! Mem
  10. Vertigo, Dizziness Can Mean a Brain Scan When You are a Cancer Survivor – Health Update
    Feb 22, 2019 · original
    My life journey as a cancer survivor can pivot periodically, and sometimes I’m left dizzy, usually figuratively but lately quite literally. The last 2 months I have had vertigo and will be getting a brain scan on Friday to make sure it is truly a vertigo disorder instead of something more serious. Vertigo and BPPV So far, all signs point to what is called BPPV. “Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ( BPPV ) is an inner ear problem that causes short periods of dizziness when your head is moved in certain positions. … This dizzy sensation called vertigo usually only lasts a few seconds up to a minute, but often makes you feel like the room is spinning around you.” -Shannon L. G. Hoffman PT, DPT In BPPV, calcium crystals become loose and go into one of the semi-circular canals. When you move your head a certain way, the crystals move inside the canal, irritate the nerve endings, and you bec
