I'm cancer free!

I hadn't smoked in 16 years when I was diagnosed with lung cancer on January 26, 2006. I was always sure I had quit in time! The four month journey undergoing my treatment for cancer was a spiritual, philisophical and mentally life altering experience.

From every problem there is always an opportunity filled with lessons. I want to share my gifts and lessons with you. I will be there to listen...and listen...and listen...

To be your friend when you don't think there is anyone or anywhere to go. This will be my gift to you, to be a friend that you can say, do and be yourself without judgement. One of the greatest joys in life is to have a friend!
