6 YEARS AGO: This picture takes me back in time....we had some kind of "dress up day" at work (Emma was my accessory).  It was taken just days before I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer - which happens to have been 6 years ago today.

It's funny, even though the experience changed me so much inside, heart and soul, so much for the better, I don't look so changed on the outside...just a bit older. Oh, and I have hair again  

Please, no congratulations, just take time to reflect on how blessed we are to have this life before us...embrace it!!! Chase it, love it even on days that are challenging and frustrating.    

Please do me a favor,  if you aren't current, call today for your annual mammogram or PSA test.  There is  no time like the present to be aggressive protecting your health and life.  The only thing worse than finding out you have cancer is NOT  knowing you have it...
