Making an Impact. Can blogging save lives?

June 21, 2011 by Jen

Remember when I wrote this: If only we had known.? It was about how I wished we had known more about skin cancer. How we could have, maybe, saved my mom. And how I wished we had checked into things sooner. It was about a lot of other "what ifs". I have always loved the sun. But I have … [Read more...]

If only we had known.

You know when something happens and you think, "If only I had known I would have {insert change here}." Well, over the last few years I have thought about that a lot.

Missing

October 6, 2009 by Kath

Last night my grade one daughter came home with a little book in her school agenda, along with the instructions: "read with me". Intrigued, I asked her to read. Thrilled, I sat beside her as she read every word: I am here. I like to play.I like to play here.And so on. I was so, so proud.She read me … [Read more...]

Behind That Door

August 25, 2009 by Kath

There's a room in my mind, behind a strong, locked door. A room full of memories and loss. A room made for grieving. A room I'm not ready to enter. Not just yet.But that door, it beckons me. Irresistibly. Everyday thoughts, images and sounds bring me rushing towards it, and in an instant I'm … [Read more...]

Finding the Courage to Live Life Consciously

April 1, 2009 by Jen

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the … [Read more...]

And We Wait

November 15, 2008 by Jen

We have come so far in the last 200 years when it comes to modern medicine. But what I have learned this week is that we still have a really long way to go. There is no cure for cancer.
