So today I got the call I was suspecting I would get. It was from the Dermatologist that I had recently visited regarding a small place no bigger than a dime, that came about back in December. I thought it was a cat scratch as I get those quite often from my 3 furbabies! But, when it didn't go away, I had my PCP look at it and he said Oh, that's a basal cell carcinoma, you need to get that looked at as soon as possible!  So, that is how the phone call came about. So now, I wait to have the surgery to get this taken care of. Yes, it is scary. No, I am not that worried about it.  Certainly, any time you receive a Cancer diagnosis it is scary. The unknown. But, I know that it will be ok/

 Many blessings of hope,

Last day to be 60!!! What~~~

Oh for heaven's sake age is just a number! And my number is 61! I am proud to  have lived this long. To be shamed for your age is something no one should ever do. To anyone. That being said I decided to stay up and ring in the old birthday! haha. Not with alcohol or drugs. Just LLoyd and my babies Oscar/Max and Henry! So here are 10 things I leave you with as I enter into my new number.

1. Celebrate your life everyday

2.  Treat yourself everyday. whether it be  a bubble bath/ iced mocha latte' or a boutique of tulips/ you deserve it

3. Love with all your whole heart

4. Everyone needs pets. adopt one today!

5. Do something for someone else

6. Drink lot's of coffee

7. Block and delete the haters/ no time for BS

8. Take care of yourself
