Welcome all to my new blog and thank you for taking the time to read it. I have been inspired by a dear friend to start a blog of my own so I am doing just that.
I have made a firm decision to change many parts of my life.
Losing weight, getting more exercise, eating a much more healthy diet are just a few of the challenges I have decided to undertake.
My idea has been to use this blog as a sort of diary...a before and after type deal. I have decided that I will write my thoughts daily as well as my progress and am hoping that if I get any followers that they too might be inspired to do as I am doing. Can't hurt right?
Just to give you a small back story about myself, well, let's see.
Okay, I am fifty-two years old as of January 29th of this year and feel the healthiest I have in quite sometime. I had breast cancer twice, once in 2003 and then again in 2005 and was fortunate enough to survive both due to early detection and also a double mastectomy. The cancer itself was not so bad but the chemo and radiation were and if I had the choice now to do things differently, I would. I then was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2007 and went through a radical hysterectomy. I have just now started to get back into the work force but it was a good seven years that I did not work and that is an awfully long time!!!! The chemo sent me into a full premature menopause which was really awful and there was nothing I could take medicinally to hel and the herbs offered did not help so I suffered quite a bit. Will write more about all that at a later time.
I am a medical assistant as of 1997...had been an LVN but let my license laps for various reasons. I am in recovery now for some years and follow the program of AA.
I am bright, talented (do a lot of phototgraphy and digital art work which involves collage making on the computer with the pictures I take or pictures that people send me), I am in the process of editing a book tht my boyfriend (who is a Grammy award winning record producer) is writing and am also a write myself as well a a songwriter with two songs published. I was a ballerina most of my younger life and an actress and graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and am now starting to pursue theater work again. I am really excited to be starting this new journey and welcome any comments anyone might have along the way.
Peace to you all.
