I approached today as if it were any other day...it's hard not to when you've been dealing with sick kids for 2 weeks, being run down yourself from the viruses and multiple wakings at night. I started thinking about this year...this milestone that I have reached. 1 year cancer free!
Huge when you look at cancer statistics...most recurrence happens in the first year. Every...

This journal is a tribute to my very best friend Shelby. Just a little background... I have known Shelby since the second grade so we have officially been friends now for 25 years. It is amazing to me to know that I have known her for that long and always stayed close to her. She moved away from the small town we both lived in in sixth grade, but luckily our parents were close fr...1 Recommendation19 Comments

This morning, before I got out of bed, I was thinking that I so often dwell on my loss and not on the things that bring me joy. So, I decided to start a list of the things that are joyful still in my life. My heart will forever be broken but that doesn’t mean that I cannot find things that bring me joy. So, here is my list. I will add to it whenever I think of something else that brings me ...1 Recommendation11 Comments

I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
I really can not believe all the love and support you have all shown me. It is very overwhelming at times. I was on my way to work today and started to think about my journey and how far I have come. My world came crashing down December 07 and seems I have been climbing an up hill battle ever since. I have felt more pain in these last years then some will ever feel in there entire life. I however...1 Recommendation15 Comments

This week I have been working at the PGA. I am on the transportation committee like I was in 2002 with Alicia. It brought back wonderful memories of Alicia (and how they would NOT let her drive the cars LOL...bet she is mad at me NOW!). I drive people from the PGA or the players or their families. I drove several of the players today but I ended my night driving Phil Mickelson's dad back to h...1 Recommendation9 Comments
