We finally have a little taste of spring today.
Isn't it amazing that on the frist glimps of warm weather everyone perks up. People are just extra cheerful here and all the kids that were in hiding all winter have come out of their caves. It's only 50 degrees out but you would think it was 70 the way everyone is acting. It's just great. I even see many people we...

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take 'no' for an answer
when they believe there is a better...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

- Today I have already made a few poor choices with food. IN THIS MOMENT I choose to BEGIN the REST of THIS DAY, choosing what will feed and nourish my physical body's health and stamina.
this will also feed my mind by increasing my self-esteem, my gratitude for being kind and caring toward myself, and my acceptance of what is necessary for my ...3 Recommendations4 Comments -
With 5 rounds already down, my next one will mark the halfway point of my treatment. I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, though im going to have to crawl through muck to get there. the first half was a lot brighther than i'd expected it to be. My side effects were relatively limited, and I quickly managed to find ways to make myself feel better durin...1 Recommendation1 Comment

Well, it is, now, March 5th, nearly a month since I started on my way toward feeling better. Two rounds of ABVD down, not sure how many more to go. Doc has said between 6-9 months worth of treatments, my aim is for 6, since it corresponds, perfectly, with my brother's 19th birthday, and my mom's 50th birthday. Doc also said I would start to notice the hair loss by now, but so far, i...1 Recommendation1 Comment -
A friend on DS recently asked me a question that really got me thinking about myself and how I am coping with everything that has happened, and is happening with my life and health.. she asked me "how do you cope with the fear?". At first I wanted to respond that I didn't know. Fear.. stress.. anxiety.. the general "why me's?" are things that over the last six years ha...2 Recommendations1 Comment

Fate, fate is something alright. how do you describe fate? fate is... i guess the reason for everything, it almost like a law. its unpreventative. its like a multiple choice question, it gives you a set in stone situation, but it also comes with numerous choices of what the outcome will be. though the way its different from a test is that it doesnt give the choices(you think of the choices yourse...2 Recommendations4 Comments

I've had some time to reflect over the past few days and I want to put this down to help me clarify my thoughts.
I realize that I have been fighting, resisting, and wearing myself out trying to stem the losses that I have "perceived" over the past few months.
I say perceived because there's always the other side to loss and that is the creation of space for new things.
Many of you ...2 Recommendations1 Comment
