Dear Friend:
This is not a Blog about writing! (I already have one of those.)
This is a blog about a journey I am taking with illness. I have recently been diagnosed with Cancer. My goal is honest therapy as I progress through, and beyond this new reality in my life. I hope that, somewhere along the way you will find some words that will help you too.
While this is, in fact, an interactive Blog, I hope that you will scroll slowly down this page. For you see, the front of this Blog IS my journey. The entries are conversations that are held along the journey.Yes, there is a lot on it--before actually getting to the Blog entries. But, I hope that by the objects and words which appear before the Blog itself, you might come to understand just a little bit about me, and my journey, and some truly amazing friends who have agreed to journey with me. I hope that you, too, will choose to accompany me on my walk--through the Valley.
I invite you to join me, and discover the wondrous truths, meet some truly amazing people, and share those "memorable" moments this journey will undoubtedly present. Come along, won't you?
In His Care,

Would you like to help me help others? I found this amazing organization, and I am proud to be a sponsor. I hope you will check it out. It's called The Network For Good.

("Every thing is funny - Growth through humiliation - Wisdom through loss")
~Leunig~
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
~Helen Keller~
"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people."
~Virginia Woolf~
"There is strength in truth."
~The Barton Family Crest~
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
— Helen Keller, American social activist, public speaker and author (1880-1968)
I have moved the list of my thanks for those who have helped to make this little Blog so very special. I hope that you will take a moment to read the list, growing every day, and let these fellow travellers along this journey know that you appreciate the contributions they make to our walk together.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
James 1:2-4

Several of you have asked about the latest medical news. I have posted a blog entry on it here.
It's current, for the most part. It may explain some of the things I have been tangentially referring to since coming back to this Blog. I hope you will read it. It matters.
In His Care,

I am back on the WDC site. I am back because, just like in the beginning, I want to learn more of my craft. I want to become a better writer. Writers write--every day.
I am participating in the 2009 National Novel Writing Month activity. I have joined the WDC NaNo groups and will be representing WDC and FMWriters groups. One of the WDC groups is having a "Write-A-Thon" activity for this year's NaNo. Sponsors donate GPs per word written, with the GPs going to charity groups on our site.
I need sponsors. If you would be willing to sponsor my activities, please visit "NaNoWriMo Write-A-Thon" and sign up to sponsor my activities. I could use the motivation, and the groups could use the GPs. Since my words will be written anyway, I thought it would be a great way to support some good groups here.
Just let them know that you would like to sponsor me--or any other participant of your choice. Thanks for supporting my NaNo efforts this year, and the groups who deserve the GPs. If you are participating in NaNo 2009, let me know. I have some GPs to sponsor friends of this blog, as well. Let's make it a family affair!
