My way to connect with friends and family, thank them for all their support, and keep them up to date on my fight against cancer. Of course, I'll toss in my thoughts on everything else ;)

Must-see movie: Young@Heart
If you're in the market for some inspiration (especially if you're challenged by age or illness), check out the amazing documentary Young@Heart. It's about a senior cover band that tours the world performing the Rolling Stones, the Talking Heads, and all kinds of other music you don't normally associate with people over 75. They're awesome! (You can rent the film from Netflix or purchase some of their past shows at www.youngatheartchorus.com.)
I'm a writer, animal lover, nature freak, and longtime activist dealing with her third bout of cancer. This time it's leukemia. It's a long story but the leukemia originated with my breast cancer treatment in '03. Despite my bad luck with chemo, I'm trying it again (a different type), hoping it will slow the progression of my current disease. But I'm also looking into alternative treatments. Any suggestions?
