"Here I am in the middle of a perfectly good fairy tale, & THIS happens! Right now, I'm perfectly healthy & happy. Well, "healthy" is apparently a matter of perspective! I've been informed that I have this blood-borne cancer in my body that'll kill me in 6 months if I don't do something drastic immediately. HUH??? Therefore, there's no choice other than"drastic"! Even with immediate action, there is no cure - only an extension of my life.

Feel free to tag along as I, & my husband, & some amazing friends commit to this journey. I'll share as much as I can! Yes, the medical team will have to make me very sick in order to suppress the cancer, but they'll also try to build up my immune system at the same time. We're in Texas, & there's an old sayin' in this part of the world: "Hold my beer, I'm goin' in!" Yeah, THAT applies. We have no idea what to expect, & I don't drink beer; but we're GOIN' IN!"

Celebration of Life


I'm planning to have a "Pool Party" / "Celebration of Life" at the Lake LBJ lake house on June 24th at noon.
Now, I'll be honest... I'm still bedridden & can't walk on my own, so I'll be immobilized & possibly drugged, but so many people want to have one last chance to have a blowout. Plus, there will be a commitment ceremony & drum circle as the sun sets that evening!
Please - no gifts, but I'd love a head count for the caterers! Plus, don't feel the need to do any serious travelling! Mark your calendars now so I can bring your positive energies into making this thing happen!!!
Peanut has her party hat ready!
