where are things at now?
Good morning, I thought I would give you an update as to where things are at, at this point in time in my healing, recovery and treatment plan for breast cancer. Right now, as I write, I am sitting at home in Fanny Bay. Fortunately where I am, Vancouver Island has beautiful sunny and warmish weather to…
I Think It’s Going To Be The Best Day Of My Life
96-year-old Tao Porchon-Lynch is now my HERO. This woman just inspired me BIG time this morning. Not only is Tao named as the “world’s oldest yoga teacher” but her wise words woke me up to a better life this morning. Here are her simple and wise ways to live a great life. I am putting my…
where am I at?
I was going to write this post yesterday but I could not get myself into the zone of a heart place from which to write. Why write about your cancer journey if not coming from the heart, I thought. Who would want to read it and why would I want to put it out there?…

sensors in our hair

Compassionate Accent Inns Victoria
I would like to thank Accent Inns in Victoria, B.C. for making my first stay so very comfortable. I stayed at Accent Inns Victoria during my first chemotherapy treatment at the BC Cancer Agency Vancouver Island Centre. This is a pet friendly hotel and I can highly recommend it. Staff were efficient, super friendly and professional at every point…
