Better than hot coffee on a cold day.

I’m still not sure what to call the series, but you can find all of the posts under the Cancer & CHD link on the right sidebar. If you’re just starting out, here are week 1 & week 2. Not much has changed from last week. I did the PET scan and got the results. Randall was upgraded to a… Continue Reading…
I haven’t been really forthcoming on this blog about my breast cancer and what I’m going through. It’s really hard to contrast that with my constant #HappinessJunkie hashtag and my Happiness Project. Before you say anything, I totally understand that I preach about life not being a zero-sum game, and you’re allowed to feel many things at once. Today I’m… Continue Reading…
***EDIT*** I was given my diagnosis as I published this article. I have Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. *** I was recently probably diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m saying probably because the radiologist has assured me that the 4cm lump in my left breast is most certainly what cancer looks like. And though there’s no cancer markers in my blood or Lymph, she’s led… Continue Reading…
I dislike winter, and that’s an understatement. Oh, sure, it’s all pretty to look at from inside the safety of an air conditioned condo in Phoenix, or aboard a sailboat in Sunny South Florida. By no means should you (I) ever attempt to hang out – let alone live – in a climate that goes below 65 degrees for longer… Continue Reading…
I have this friend named Martin, and not only is he an amazing human, he’s a person I feel truly blessed to know. There are very few blogs I read of my own accord, and you can bet his is one of them. He’s even linked in my sidebar, because that’s what I do when I like what I’m reading…. Continue Reading…
SO, I’m sitting here in a hotel room, trying not to bawl my eyes out, and I’m not entirely sure why. And, that’s not entirely true. I’m having an anxiety attack. You may remember this is a relatively new thing for me to experience, and they only kicked in after I stopped smoking in August of 2017. They make me… Continue Reading…
So, here it is. I’m feeling lost. More than that, I’m feeling fucked. Completely, wholly, truly fucked over. I’m not sure what I did to deserve this, but it must have been something quite big. I spent everything I had to move back to Denver in July with my then-boyfriend. I was triggered 3 days after we got back, and… Continue Reading…
If you haven’t noticed yet, I hide the images I create for Pinterest in my blog posts, so they don’t take up a ton of space, and so people don’t have to scroll a billion times. I also don’t have a PinIt button, because I want to be really specific about what is pinned from my blog. This post is… Continue Reading…
I got this recipe for these gluten-free peanut butter cookies from my friend Colette a decade ago, and they’ve been my go-to for unexpected or last-minute guests and parties. They’re good enough to be included in your holiday cookie tins, though. Bonus: They’re Gluten Free and Vegetarian. I mean, how much better does it get? Double Bonus: They take about… Continue Reading…
Gratitude. We’re taught from a young age that we need to express it, and the first phrases we’re taught are please and thank you. I can’t remember being taught to say you’re welcome. I learned by example, and the common response in my home was, “No problem” or “Uh-huh”, which I don’t think qualifies as an actual response. When we… Continue Reading…
Because I have to get busy roasting the squash and apples, without further ado: My cardiac team at Joe DiMaggio/Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Without them, I might literally not be here to type this. They fought for my life with me, and for me when I was just too tired. To Dr. Roth, Dr. Young, Marea (my cardiac… Continue Reading…
