I’ve thought about the quote “I’m Damn Glad to Be Here” many times in my life for different reasons. I’m sure there are those of you who totally get what I’m talking about. There’s the reason to feel glad because you’ve escaped the bad or realize how much worse things could be…the understanding of the […]

Happy Year!!!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged, but I have been quite busy writing, researching and becoming a certified Life Coach. In just a couple of weeks I will launch Life Coaching Matters, which is about re-empowering those who have survived. That feeling of being filled with power means a great deal to most […]
DovetailNYC Flies
It’s the day after Brain Matters most recent fundraiser, the day of Cinco de Mayo. Today is my daughter Rachel’s 17th birthday; to those of you who follow my personal Facebook page you may have already seen that posting. She’s driving today, seems like only a few years ago, she was driving a different kind […]
Life and the pursuit of happiness…what I want to do when I grow up
Are you a cancer survivor? If you are, then you’ll get what I mean. Public health experts seem to point out that overall rates of death from cancer haven’t budged, and that some cancers are of course a lot more survivable than others. Granted brain cancer isn’t one of those more survivable kinds of cancers, […]
Goodbye Chloe, you were there in the best of times…and the worst of times, if only our pets could live longer
Miss Chlo, how I will miss you, how we will all miss you. You lived a long life in dog years. This March 25th would have been your 15th birthday. Up until only a few months ago when your walking was off and your eating was off (a definite sign something was wrong), we were […]
That 1st Anniversary Fundraising Thank you, plus video
Oh what a year to fundraise? Every year for brain tumor awareness and the need for more research for the cause is a year to raise funds, but this year besides the other usual necessary needy causes out there in the world, the bar was also raised by the 2012 Election. It’s always fun to […]
Loss is relative
“The participant’s perspectives are clouded while the bystander’s views are clear.” -Chinese Proverb Loss is familiar, loss is current, recently near where I live due to Storm Sandy people lost their power, people lost their trees, people lost their furniture, people lost their pictures, their blankets, their memorabilia. Kids lost their toys, their bicycles. Many […]
“Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it”
I was just at Mass. General for my annual check-up, and after what has been a tumultuous couple of months, filled with speculation that an ear infection that may have been something much worse, I found out I had no tumor growth since last year. This is great news for me. This is news my […]
Some Things Are Just Too Long to Tweet About
Maybe it’s just because I’m not as impervious as I should be…as I need to be…as I usually am because these past few weeks I’ve been dealing with an earache, not just any earache-of course not. If there’s anything I seem to have a knack for, it seems to be not getting the usual run […]
