I am sitting here, trying to decide what I should talk about today. And what happens? Yup, many random things are crossing my mind. So it's anyone's guess what will make it from there to here by the time I am done. "I have tough news for you." So...

Random Musings from a mother's mind-#2

I am sitting here, trying to decide what I should talk about today. And what happens? Yup, many random things are crossing my mind. So it's anyone's guess what will make it from there to here by the time I am done.

"I have tough news for you." Something NO one wants to hear in their life, something most of us do hear and most likely it will be something life changing. I heard those words over 7 years ago. I was just going through life, bitching about the things we normally do. And one day, it a… Continue

Random Musings from a mother's mind

So first entry blogging...what took so long? I have always liked to write and I tend to be outspoken, seems natural to blog then, doesn't it? So my excuses...not enough time, too tired, no one will read what I write...you know the usual. But something told me to get busy, write those thoughts....yes, the Random Musings!

The trouble is what do I start with? Lord, I have had the life experiences, so I should never run out of material. They started wayyyyyyy back when I was 4! Yup. FOUR. My father… Continue

Joy....I know my request in my last posting was a little out of the blue but again, I'm so excited that I connected with you. I know our experiences with cancer our so very similar as is our vision to help others. I look forward to hearing from you if there's a time that will work to visit. Please take care and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I'm so glad to hear from you!! Yes, our circumstances are so similar which is why your story touched my heart. I did have lymph node involvement, though, which is why my cancer was staged at IIIa. This experience has beyond a doubt changed my life tremendously. It's not been easy but there have been so many unexpected rewards. Not only do I look at things differently but have acted as well on the pull now to reach out to others - and I have a vision on how I want to do that. Again, our stories are so similar!! I have worked with the local hospital in Cresco and have started a support group - I facilitate the group and we have 8 folks who attend on a regular basis and have been meeting since Jan 2009. I am also working with the hospital on planning a cancer survivor workshop. We have tentatively scheduled this to be held on January 16, 2010 from 9 am to 3 pm at the hospital with the topics to be presented as follows: 1. The New Normal 2. Living With Cancer 3. We have a motivational speaker from Decorah presenting - I've seen the outline but not the final presentation yet 4. Laughter Yoga. A lunch will also be provided. Joy, this is where I'd love to visit with you....and please bear with me as I know this is so out of the blue! I was going to present The New Normal but I'd so LOVE to have you talk to our support group and also do this segment of the presentation at the workshop! I believe it would be such a great thing if you would consider this. Would you consider calling me to discuss? This workshop is only the 2nd step in my overall vision of what I'm driving towards...I have so many thoughts regarding how to help others and am passionate about this. I would love to connect with you and share thoughts on what I'm doing today and where my vision is leading me - and also about what you've done. Please email me at rainsincresco@mchsi.com if you're interesting in talking more. I so hope to hear from you!

Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?

I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and being a brand new mom. I am trying to find more people to follow me so that my story will help spread awareness:
