: About Me

I have lived for half a century,and my outlook of life is the same as it was in my twenties. I don't judge others. I have led my life true to myself by acknowledging how easy it is to judge someone from the outside looking in. I never judge people on any level because I know the pain of having someone judge me basing their thoughts on simple topics or by hearing one thing I say.

My live has taken many turns into horrifying events and I feel it is my responsibility to share them so others know there is hope. I have been so close to insanity that I felt the icy fingers of doom as they began to wrap around me, thankfully I was able to crawl out of that hole. After being diagnosed with stage four cancer four years ago I have outlived their promise of a six month demise. The cancer that was thought to be in my organs was found to only be in my breast and lymph nodes. Thankfully my body has challenged their statistics. I want to let everyone in the same situation know that in the darkest of corners there is always hope.

Growing up in Texas has taught me life in the city as well as by myself on a ranch. I find comfort and delight in life as it has given me a new outlook and basically a second chance.

Upon allowing addiction into your life or having it become part of your life due to an illness, is as if you have a new organ. You will never live your life the same and if that organ is tampered with or possibly removed you might die. Organs, alcohol, and yes drugs are a major part of our society. They all become life or death situations. People that have always gone with a Tylenol while others chose vicodin for the same pain are a puzzle. As you look at the full picture you realize that addiction is everywhere. What about that woman that knits continually when not performing her other du...
