March 10, 2008 I joined an amazing company, Scentsy Wickless Candles. It is just what the doctor ordered. For almost 2 years, I had gone through chemo therapy and numerous surgeries and now finally I'm done!
During the past 2 years I only worked short periods of time. I would work at Debbie's flowers shop for each of the holidays, which included Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have always loved being a floral designer. Working with brides, making customers visions become a reality and of course the occasional funeral. It's a fulfilling job, yet I have done it since 1984 and my body was feeling the strains of working long hours, especially my hands...I believe I have carpel tunnel and it's really bad in my right hand.
So, when Scentsy came along I was thrilled. It was something that I LOVED and knew that others would LOVE Scentsy too.

Welcome to my Life After Cancer Blog!
I've been thinking about this over the course of this year and decided it's time to share some of the UPS and DOWNS of my roller coaster ride with cancer. What better forum than MY OWN 
BLOG! I'll share my story with you and some of the feelings that I experienced. If you are a cancer patient or know someone who has or had cancer, this is for you! I had two famous sayings that I said while going through my chemo and surgeries, "When Life Gives You Lemons ~ Make Lemonade!" and "When you laugh, the world laughs with you. When you cry, you cry alone!" I found that a sense of humor was the best cure for me, and I believe that humor and a positive attitude also helped my family and friends share in my experience as well.
My blog will start off with my story, from diagnosis to what I'm doing now. I'll share my family breast cancer history, and I'll post new things about breast cancer as well as updates on me. If what is said here touches at least one life for good, then I've accomplished what I set out to do. I look forward to reading your emails and with your permission I would like to, at times, post your stories here for others to gather inspiration, insight, compassion, and understanding.
