Wow! It’s been over a year since I visited this place. My blog site. The place where I open up and share my world with…the world. Where I explore the inner thoughts and emotions of life after cancer. It almost seems silly in some ways to say that. It has, after all, been over 5 years […]

Home…Is Where the Heart Is
Home. A thought that’s been heavy on my heart and constantly on my mind of late.
