I thought I might as well get it over with right from the start. Instead of keeping you waiting in anticipation to see if I was going to mention making personal choices again, I decided to just come right out and put it in the title. Don’t you just feel better about it all now? …
Don’t Let The Butterfly Shape Fool You – The Thyroid
Boom! Thyroid cancer! Cancer again! Seriously? Those were some of the things I was thinking at age 26 when I got the news. I actually received the news accidentally over the phone at work from one of my doctors. He spilled the beans by mistake to me because he thought one of my other doctors …

Stories – We All Have Them
A personal story. You have one, I have one. Crazy how that works, right? I recently was asked to share my health journey with a group of people in a webinar. Not really sure now many people were on the call. Probably between 60-70. Every time I share my story with anyone whether it's one …
Cancer – The Big C (Repost)
Cancer. I call it The Big C. But I am sure it goes by many names, some not so nice either. It first directly entered my life at the age of 16. And since then, it's been constantly in the background. Sometimes taking centre stage, and other times shifting more to the back seat. But …

Where should I start? I am going to split this in to 2 separate posts but I could probably do many more, since I have learned so many things going through all that I have been through. So maybe the title should be some of the things I have learned. Here is a little bit …

The Smile – It’s Lopsided
Your smile. It can be something that you share often and use freely or something that you hide and might not bring out very often. Let's admit it, if you are being really honest, you are similar to most of us and when you see yourself in a picture, you quickly make a judgment on …
Perspective-What Would You Say?
For anyone who has been around me long enough, and heard me talk about my health journey in any way, you have probably heard me say this, "I wouldn’t have chosen it, but I wouldn’t change it?" What does that mean? You might be able to guess but I am going to tell you anyway. …
