My journey of life while dying with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer
Moving Forward I've read before, there's a reason the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. So you look forward instead of back. Cancer Update I'm still a boring cancer patient. Thank God! My tumor markers remain at 12 (anything under 32 is great). I started at 910 back in 2015. We celebrated my fourth …

Your Name Is Your Reputation When I was growing up, I was always told that "your name is your reputation, don't ruin either one." It is a good point to keep in mind. Being Remembered and Paying It Forward Recent events of what Robert F. Smith did at Morehouse College this past weekend started my …
Looking at the Other Side There's always two sides to every story...right? Isn't that what we've all heard all of our lives? I've always had a natural sense to look at things from the other side. The hubs has that sense too, and has even taught me some things about even more ways of looking …
Friday Night Lights What do you do on a Friday night when you're our age and NOT going to Menards? (I sound sooo old at 48!) You get the best perch plate and tator tots from Krazy Cow, get together your menu for the next two weeks, order your groceries online to pick up on …
A friend of mine told me the other day "you haven't blogged in a while, I love reading your blogs!" The look on her face was one of loving chastisement, essentially showing me that, I guess I had been too busy with other things to do what I do best - bore you all with …

Plastics Corp. in Luxemburg, Wisconsin from 2013 to 2015. Jannie graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in December 2018, her major being Elementary Education and Human Development, and a minor in ESL …
Educating Others I've always loved teaching. It started when I was little. I would create math worksheets and spelling/English/reading worksheets for myself, and then I would correct them. I would use the organ bench in our family room as my teacher's desk. I imagined that the family room was full of my students. Of course, …
The Energy Crisis The hardest fight I have while living with cancer is fatigue. This fatigue will make me fall asleep at the kitchen counter while typing on the computer. Or I will fall asleep while scrolling through Facebook. I have learned to never text while I am falling asleep! I sleep at night. Sometimes. …
Financial Troubles I believe that everyone, at some point in their lifetime, have had financial troubles. Unless, of course, you are part of a husband and wife dual-income household, with at most two or no children, and receive ten thousand dollar checks from your parents for Christmas every year. Or even one year. For the …
