Read More[I went to #rawartistsboise tonight and met @darlingbirdjodi and she changed my life. Jodi’s grandmother died of breast cancer but left a jar of old keys for her. Jodi didn’t know what she was going to do with them and a couple of first attempts failed. She then realized that she could “draw” on them with her…
Read More[What now, you ask? Nothing and everything all at once. There are no full body scans to check for cancerous cells in my body. I am simply done with treatments. That’s the nothing. Now my life starts again. Continues. That’s the everything. A friend took me out on the trails this morning and it’s like…
Read MoreThese are my heroes at MSTI – St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute. I tried to take selfies with everyone who helped me through my treatments. I was so sad to say goodbye to them on the day of my last infusion. I liken it to leaving summer camp. You may be happy to be…

Read More[3 purple toenails and my running days just might be over. Every step is uncomfortable but sitting on that spin bike this morning was b.o.r.i.n.g. 15 miles SPUN and DONE. Good thing I ran into Rachel again.] January 25, 2016
Read More[I have thought (as someone is asking me how I’m doing yet already looking at me with sad puppy dog eyes before I’ve actually replied) to say, “I’m good and in great spirits right now. Don’t be sad for me unless this crap comes back in the next 5 years and kills me.” Then I…
