This is a Hard One!

(I'm Gonna Love You Through It) click on this





I have a friend...




She was in my life at the time I got the news I had Invasive Breast Cancer...




I was 37 and had 3 little children...




When we had to make a plan to figure out surgery, recovery, chemo treatments, recovery again, my children, my home, my husband and the next 6 months of my life she did it for me...



I got a text the other day from her. She was a little chocked up stating I had to hear this song.

So I went to itunes. Found the song and just had No words... Really! This song is written for all the Women who have experienced Breast Cancer.


For me the lyrics are exactly how I remember my experience.

Love you my friend...

I'm not there yet for the 3Day... Please help me get there! I only need $300.00 Bucks

17 Years...

I wanted to begin my writing by saying "17 years of full Bliss!" However to be honest it hasn't been. Lots of challenges during these 17 years of marriage. I guess the key to making it 17 years are these challenges, disappointments and heartache and how we have handled it.





Mitch,,, great person, kind person, understanding person and most of all he loves me!






I can remember after one of my surgeries it left me so disfigured that my doctor mentioned I might want to let Mitch dress the womb and clean the drainage. I thought how can I do that? How can I let him fix me! He did... with such calmness and sweetness that I knew I'd get through this living "hell" I was in.






So love to you Mitch/ for being with me for 17...

It's getting Hot...170 Until the Event!

I swear I'm not obsessed with the 3 Day even though my blog seems to be posting a lot of this lately. However, I just have to say that I truly have amazing FRIENDS... They have come though 100% in my fundraising. I'm not there yet but I'm getting close!





I'm going to continue training at night. The Arizona weather in the evening is still great. But when July hits I'll be hitting the gym.





I've really enjoyed training alone and have had lots of time to reflect on the past 2 years of my life. Having Breast Cancer for some reason never leaves your memory. It's a good time to think, process and reflect my thankfulness that I'm a live







Love to all my dear friends and readers.
