July is a significant month in our life. 20 years ago we saw the MRI film and heard those words that is a brain tumor in the temporal lobe. 17 years ago Ron's Dad died at the end of July after his battle with prostate cancer. Ron's Dad told us that his wish was that Ron would live a long life despite his tumor. Ron honored that wish and has never given up.
I celebrate my birthday in July and make a wish every year as I blow out my candles on my ice cream cake that I will have Ron at my side for my next birthday. Last July that cake tasted so good because Ron had made it through yet one more surgery. In preparation to celebrate this year I started the process of getting our book published. Here we are a year later and I can't wait to blow out those candles. Thanks for joining me on this journey and your support in this endeavor.

Vacation 2011 and stable MRI results.
Had a great vacation in NH. Was able to visit with family and friends. Most important was a stable MRI. We scheduled Ron's yearly MRI and was able to get unofficial results. Had some special moments during our visit. Was able to meet up with my neice's teacher. She attended our support group back in 1997 when her daughter was 8. She is now 23 and is doing good.
Visited with our favorite neuro-surg nurse and get MRI results and catch up on her new job.
Book is now available at River Run bookstore in downtown Portsmouth, NH

Finding hope and happiness through adversity by making it REAL
This was the title of the presention I did for the Whole Health Expo this past weekend. I shared my model for dealing with adversity using exerpts from the book.
Real = make the adversitiy real by confronting and naming the stress you are confronting.
Enlightened = understand the situation and seek to improve it
Attitude = the one thing in your life you have control of
Love life = find happiness
