Hoping that you find these lyrics as inspirational to you as they are to me. Wishing you a Silver Lined Monday!
Time Keeps on Ticking, Ticking – John Randolph
I don’t know about you, but it really feels as if time is FLYYYYYYING. I’m starting to acknowledge the fact that once the calendar rolls onto September 1st, the year is pretty much over-rover. How is that possible? I mean, really…how on earth is it possible? I’m definitely in the camp of, “The older you get,… Continue reading Time Keeps on Ticking, Ticking – John Randolph
Feast On Your Life by Derek Walcott
Hope you’ve had a great weekend! Reading some poetry the last couple of days and had to share this with you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am (Silver Lining)!
Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not to Say) #3
Next up in the series of What to Say (or Not to Say) to someone with FBC revolves around chemo. I heard this line many times, “You only have — X #’s — of chemos left.” Now this was always well intended, as are the majority of the things that are said to cancer patients. I… Continue reading Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not to Say) #3
You've Gotta… – William Purkey
I know that we’ve all heard this one before; however, I myself can’t hear it enough. I made a great decision today based on this philosophy (Silver Lining). I hope that you do the same!
Friday's Fixin's: Wild Rice with Balsamic Mushrooms
This week I came across the most delish recipe that I had to share with you. I found it in this month’s Martha Stewart magazine. Can I just say for a minute how much I am loving the magazine these days? It’s terrific! I think that the (relatively) new Editor-in-Chief, Pilar Guzman, is doing a fantastic job… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Wild Rice with Balsamic Mushrooms
Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not to Say) #2
As I mentioned yesterday, I am frequently asked: What should I say (or not say) to my friend/sister/loved one who has been diagnosed with FBC (f-bomb breast cancer). FBC is a pickle (understatement of the year!) all the way around. People mean well, but when some things are said, they aren’t received quite as well… Continue reading Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not to Say) #2
Happy Birthday to The Princess Bride
Happy 25th Birthday to one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies: The Princess Bride! I couldn’t possibly tell you how many times I’ve seen it. Even IF I could come up with the number, I’m not sure I’d be able to admit it! Yes, it’s THAT good! And yes, I’m getting old! The Princess Bride is… Continue reading Happy Birthday to The Princess Bride
Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not Say) #1
Because I’m seeing so much pink this week, I find myself thinking about all things related to FBC (f-bomb breast cancer). It’s amazing how a few (million) pink ribbons reactivate the memory of experiences (and f-bombs!). One of the things that comes to mind (that you dear readers discuss with me frequently!) is: What to… Continue reading Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What to Say (or Not Say) #1
