In Gratitude of My Rockin’ Bod

Blog July 27, 2011

I am healthy, and I am feeling great.  All follow-up biopsies have come back clean.  That’s right, baby.

Thank you also to the melanoma... View Article

From this Day Forward

Blog July 9, 2011

On Friday, July 1, I got a phone call from my dermatologist telling me I had melanoma. That was 8 days ago. Since that call, life has been quite a whirlwind.

After a few... View Article

New Mom Friend Wanted

Blog June 20, 2011

Once my son was about 2-3 months old, I decided it was time to make a new friend in the neighborhood – someone who also had a new baby – so I’d have someone to chat with, have coffee with, and generally spend time with during my days at home on maternity leave.  I’ve never been one to be shy, so I thought this shouldn’t be hard, I just have to initiate conversation with one of the other new moms...
