I am no expert, but I want to share my cancer battles and my mental health journey with you, some stress reduction ideas for your life, and hopefully some fun things along the way.

Stories. Some people open up a conversation by asking, "So what's your story?" or "Tell me a story." What would you say to that? Would that strike fear in to your soul? I admit there have been moments in my life when the fear of doing that was tangible. Do you have a story to …
