One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1

Or maybe they’re out to make a buck and don’t care what a few consumers have to say about it. Sadly, much of the American consumer public has an attention span slightly worse than that Ellen Degeneres fish in “Finding Nemo.”

Game; set; match.
