Today’s WEGO Day 10 Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge is to post a favorite picture of myself. I’m posting a couple. They aren’t really my favorites. However, they do show my former cleavage. Yep, I always liked my breasts–not too big, not too small. And I liked having them both.

Today’s WEGO HAWMC task was to compare your condition to an animal. Oddly enough, I was going to go with the zebra mussel. I spent all but 4 years of the first 41 in either Michigan or Chicago and grew up playing on the amazing lakes and waterways of the upper Midwest. The zebra mussel […]

Day Two’s directive is to either introduce your condition/your activism or share links to 3-5 of your old posts (or posts from other Health Activists) that will help the newly diagnosed. I spent the day at Disney World yesterday which means […]
I remember being in awe of the blogesphere last year during the month of April. So many bloggers participating in the WEGO Health’s Writer’s month long challenge! Just what this scared, breast cancer newby needed. I learned a ton about breast cancer and survivorship by reading the posts generated by this challenge–and became aware of […]
Hmmm…this year is definitely about growth and openness to trying new things. Trying to use my iPhone to compose this post isn’t quite the easy peasy process that I’ve gotten used to with Word Press on my PowerBook.
