Breast Cancer Triumph |
|
|
By Lisa Norman
Susan notes (October 18, 2009): Lisa Norman's story was one of the first to be posted on AWR after I launched the site in August 2008. Over the last year, we've rarely been in touch - both of us no doubt busy fulfilling our respective life purposes...
When I clicked on Lisa's blog link today, iit had been many months since I had visited "Lisa's Breast Cancer Journey." I was overjoyed to find that Lisa's hair has grown back, her smile shines brighter than ever and she continues to fight.
Thanks Lisa, for continuing to be an inspiration to the women in your circle, your community, and around the world. No doubt about it, you ROCK!
Last year, at this time, I had NO IDEA that I had bilateral breast cancer.
On a dare from my sister, I decided to have my first mammogram at age
41. I was slated for an October appointment, but a pressing matter in
my quest for my Masters degree arose, and I chose to rebook.
The next available opening was in December - so I booked it.

Life is a Gift |
|
|
By Diane Dutton
Many times during my life, I have read the phrase “Success favors the bold”, but I was never sure what that meant. Now I know.
My story is all about being bold and walking away from the establishment over and over again.

The Beat of a Different Drummer |
|
|
By Julie-Ann Odell
We never know where life is going to take us.
More often than not, we think we’re on the main road of our journey,
content with towns that we know, and destinations that are safe with
clearly marked sign-posts, until circumstances and/or people divert us,
and offer choices that appear to be detours...

The Long Road to |
|
|
By Mary T. Wagner
I didn’t set out to be an essayist, or a blogger, or to have a website,
or to publish a collection of reflections ranging from mortality, to
gardening, to chocolate addiction, to the view from the back seat of a
Harley driven by a man in black leather pants.
I set out years ago to write an entirely different book…but as it often does, life got in the way.

Creating a Better World |
|
|
By Marion Gold
Alien. Unwelcoming. A constant battle that saps your energy and spirit.
This is the way many women still describe the experience of trying to

many who finally make it to a corner office then choose to leave their
coveted position to shape their own destinies by striking out on their
own as consultants or entrepreneurs.
