It's happening

It is currently 2 hours away from October 1st. October has always been my favorite month… (It’s my birthday month - The weather is beautiful - and HELLO FOOTBALL!)

October now brings a twinge of emotion, I can’t always put my finger on…. Pink (Honestly I have never have been a fan of pink)… Ribbons - Awareness - Walks … ALL of these things are great - but they also can be triggers. In October 2018 -these triggers were horrible. I was in the middle of radiation, my blood work would not stabilize and we still didn’t know what bad news was going to hit next… I wanted to throw things at everything pink.

But… October 2019 - I felt a little better ….. Then in October 2020 …. even better … And now October 2021…. I am SO excited for October 2021. First, because I’m finally going to launch my Peer Support Group for cancer patients. I’m calling it Cancer Talk and I know in my heart it will be SO SO Great.

During my personal experience with cancer - I learned connecting with people who had a shared lived experience really helped with my recovery, healing .... and overall attitude.

So after becoming a CPSS (Certified Peer Support Specialist), I wanted to start this group, so anyone who has heard the words "You have cancer" - can come together, lift each other up, increase resilience and support each other.

Cancer Talk starts October 2nd…. It is the first event that has ever been listed on the Events tab of this website…. But it will not be the last! Sign up HERE

Oh ya…. and the Third Down Punt blog is back :)

Bring it on October! It’s happening!
