ABOUT

At age 49 I was diagnosed with three separate carcinomas, all in my left breast. Currently awaiting surgery, I decided I needed a public outlet for my thoughts, questions, curse words, anger, confusion, frustration, humor, and fucking candid nonsense that I can't say in front of my mother. Unless she finds this blog, then it's her own damn fault!

​

I hope this blog makes you laugh, helps you cry, lets you know you're not the only one and allows you to feel connected.

​

And because I know cancer isn't the only interesting thing about me: I'm a nonprofit consultant and am thrilled to make my living by helping nonprofit leaders manage their organizations more effectively.

 

Even more exciting than that: I'm the mother of two grown sons, whose love and support I could not live without. They are my biggest champions, supporters, and cheerleaders. Between The Physicist and The Designer, I couldn't be more proud of the men these two smart, funny, strong, and amazingly capable and kind people they've grown to be.

​

And nothing completes my resume like a bunch of batshit crazy, have-my-back, would-post-bail girlfriends. Ladies, you KNOW who you are! I would not be where I am today if it weren't for you. Betty Ford? NO, silly, I mean in life. I can't do life without you!  <3
