Fighting For My Life!!!

I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I am scared to death but will fight this with every part of my being. I always wanted to be a writer. I think this is a good time to start writing. Thanks Vanessa, you have been a writing inspiration to me. I am hoping that this blog will not only help me get my feelings out there but will also keep you informed. I am forgetting who I have told what to and this will make it easier.......no that's not the cancer, that's being old!!!

Kids Who Make A Difference!

We all too often hear about all of the bad things going on in the world and especially of the negative things kids do. We have LOTS of great kids in Milan and here's something special about one of them!!!

It's a picture of Lia Iverson, a fourth grader from Symons, who has been in my after school health and fitness program for the past two years and decided to have her hair cut off and donate it to "Locks of Love" in my honor. She's a really special young lady and comes from a great family.

Here's a great picture Lia's dad took of us today with her hair! I am deeply touched and honored by Lia's incredible gift. It's something I will never forget.

Thanks Lia! I love that you care about others. You are a special young lady and I love you.

I can feel that the kid that is going to get my donation is going to feel better about themselves. I know I did the right thing. I love you too.
