The last week has been over-the-top cuckoo busy. This quote is bringing me back to center and helping me make the right decisions for the right reasons (Silver Lining).

The Guest House – Rumi
One of the Silver Linings that came out of my experience with FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers) was a newfound love of poetry. Prior to FBC, my mind never had the patience (or the confidence!) to read poetry. Basically, I didn’t get it. Or I didn’t think that I got it. Or I… Continue reading The Guest House – Rumi
Musical Monday #9: Faith by Jordin Sparks
On Saturday night, I had the Silver Lined opportunity to hear Jordin Sparks perform her song, “Faith.” Now, here’s how clueless I am: I had no idea who Jordin Sparks is. I continue to amaze you, don’t I?!? How the f-bomb I didn’t know who she is stuns even me; however, the fact that I didn’t… Continue reading Musical Monday #9: Faith by Jordin Sparks
October is National (F-bomb) Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Are you wondering why gobs of buildings are illuminated pink…and why there is a proliferation of pink ribbons every (f-bomb) where?

Prior to my personal experience with FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers), I knew about National Breast Cancer Awareness Month only from the illuminated… Continue reading October is National (F-bomb) Breast Cancer Awareness Month

On Saturday, September 29th (from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. WTF is it, you ask? Good question. It is an opportunity to properly rid your home of potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted medications. Flushing drugs down the potty is an absolute no-no. While… Continue reading National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day

Happy Friday! What an amazing week it’s been…and more fun is in store next week! I’m feeling so amazingly full of gratitude that life post-FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers) keeps getting better and better.

The Silver Lining Video Series: How to Talk With Children About Cancer
My beloved mother-in-law used to love the phrase, “It’s a Big Day.” She used the phrase quite liberally, which is one of the things that I adored about her. To think that we have lots of “Big Days” in our life is such a Silver Lining! Well, today is a “Big Day” for The Silver… Continue reading The Silver Lining Video Series: How to Talk With Children About Cancer
