My
Photo Journal
New
Year’s Eve 2004. I had just moved
to Florida and my wonderful mom, Kim came down to spend
the holidays with me & my family. This is just before
I was diagnosed with Cancer.

April
2005. I have just had surgery to remove the cancer,
and am about to start Chemotherapy. I just cut my hair short
to prepare for it to fall out. It took exactly 2 weeks.
June,
2005.Me & my husband Joe, and son Blaec.
I am wearing a very expensive and itchy wig.

A Trip to Iowa October 2005. My
Sister in Law, Laura and I reviewing some of our very first
samples of “Inspired By You” TM Hats. We have
designed many one of a kind hats to find the most comfortable
and stylish.

October 2005. A visit to
one of my Personal Inspirations! My Dad, Paul and his wife
Linda. They gave me the encouragement to stay focused when
I was so sick that I wanted to give up. A Heart-Felt Thank
You & I
love You!

Fall 2005 Two Survivors. I look at those
that went before me and thank them for their courage and
look to those behind me and say have hope. Hope Matters…Courage
Counts! Me & my Aunt Anita.

November 2005. Me & my
husband Joe. I am almost finished with my radiation treatment,
my hair has started to grow in but I am more comfortable
with my ponytail hat.

January 2006. I didn’t realize that
my radiation treatment was killing my thyroid gland, and
I ended up in the hospital near a coma at Christmas time.
Smiling to be home from the hospital, and grateful for another
chance to live. This picture is of me & my son Blaec and
our dog Eddie, just after my hospital release.

February 2006. Me & My husband Joe.
One year later from the date I discovered the lump
in my breast. It has been a slow recovery process, but
I am starting to feel better and stronger every day, and
am grateful to God and my family for helping through this
dark time of my life.
