Someone asked me yesterday why I got involved with the American Cancer Society as a volunteer. (thanks Liz!) I guess in all my enthusiasm for the cause I forgot to share why I am involved. There are several reasons. For starters, a very good friend of ours was diagnosed with thyroid cancer several years ago and is battling it again, but he is a survivor! And one of the most positive people that I know. He and his wife are also very involved with the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and asked me if I would like to volunteer. I said “yes”!

My friend Amy and little me

Cancer has affected my life in other ways too. (more…)

Normally when I get email forwards from friends I give them a quick glance, but I rarely forward them on. Especially those ones that end with a horrible guilt invoking message at the bottom about forwarding the message to 10 friends or else some bad fate awaits you. Seriously? Is our faith that weak that not forwarding an email affects our futures? Well, today I got a very simple text email with some great messages, and no guilty message at the bottom. I thought the message was so universal, that I would share it today with you.

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.

I Believe…

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
