Welcome to my new blog! Well, actually, this is my first blog. What I previously called my "weblog" was actually just an online journal. So bear with me ... this is my first venture into official blogdom.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a Christian, mom, wife, daughter, grandmother, sister, friend, and neighbor. I'm my kids' shuttle service ... I'm my family's schedule coordinater and food & finance manager ... I'm a business owner. I'm creative ... I'm sometimes lazy ... I'm dedicated ... I'm busy ... I run ... I procrastinate ... I dance ... I'm ambitious ... I stress out. And I'm tired!
I am also one of the growing number of women living with stage IV breast cancer, thanks to modern medicine. Although my cancer doesn't define who I am, it has certainly altered my life. I am grateful to be alive and to BE all the things I listed above.
My original online journal began in December 2005 (at the first sign of my stage IV recurrence) and runs through September 2008 ... It's a long read and I don't expect anyone to delve too deeply into it, if at all. But at least it's out there ...
Thanks for reading -- more to come!

Originally diagnosed with stage II breast cancer at age 32 in 2000, I've been living with stage IV cancer since 2006. From the mundane everyday to the ongoing cancer treatments, I chronicle it all in my blog, called "Ya Only Live Once ... A Survivor's Journey." I hope to reach others who are on their cancer journey with information, inspiration, encouragement, humor and maybe some "I've been there."
