I changed the look of the blog, I added some fun pages.... About me.... I am bored of reading traditional bio's that have a laundry list of academic achievements and ummm you are 48?? Who cares... people hide behind that... identifying themselves with those titles... not me... I want you to know more about me... the person I am now.. the crazy zany things I have done and will do... the fact that I am living on the edge of insanity... and not ashamed of it....
I had professional shots done of my jewelry by Denise Wilkins.. creative genius with a camera.... and shared them with you.... I want to share little nuggets of advice and recommended sites, places, people and info so I created a page for that... Right now Nancy Dranitsaris has a great little article up there.. check it out if you haven't... lastly, our Stilettos event.. of course it needs a page.... If I figure out how I might be able to put a buy button there somehow.. don't hold me to that ok......
I went to see the doc yesterday and man am I glad I did... you know your body, you know when you are not feeling great... first I asked him about this exhaustion and of course it's normal just 3 weeks after surgery... give it another 3 weeks.. ok... I can do that.. then I showed him the pathology report and what I had learned in dissecting it and he told me I was absolutely right... hmmmm ok so... if this hadn't been caught now it would have most definitely been worse yes?? yes!!!
He explained the little details and what I now need to do.... hmmmm sugar gone, caffeine gone, red meat gone, fat (including my ass) gone, sleep more, meditate, NO STRESS (ya remember me the one living on the edge), exercise, lose weight, drink water, eat fruits and veg, take 50 billion different minerals and vitamins.... balance those hormones.... ok I get it....
Due to the fact that my risk factors are so high.... I need to do all of this and more... no more mammograms for sure... no more exposure to radiation... especially now... thermography... ok... buckle up gotta pay for this... with all of this in mind, I need to do my research and make sure that I am doing the very best I can for my body, lower the risk factors that I can and increase my odds... I am in charge....
The month of March, I will dedicate to breast cancer awareness, prevention, info I find and share pieces from people going through it, people on hold, those that have been there years ago and recently, caregivers of these people and how they dealt with it... what it was like to be there with someone while they fought for their lives... I will share info I find to help... places to go... info about our new Healthy Caregiver program and how it will include a program for those in waiting, the caregivers and the ones fighting....
March is a whole new beginning for me... clearing clutter and seeing for the first time that I can no longer just float through life eating cupcakes when I want and how many I want, drinking and eating whatever else I desire, no exercising and running on a few hours a night, nor can I work 7 days a week x 12 or more hours a day... there are things that I must pay attention to now... I have been given the wake up call...
So my question to you is... will it take a wake up call for you to realize how close you take yourself every day... what do you do that puts you in danger.... why do you ignore your signs and live on the edge of insanity??????
