The Story About Team Believe

Team believe 2013-
(Photo take by a volunteer for Komen)

I was first diagnosed in 2012 with Breast cancer.
The tumor almost doubled in size 
by surgery 30 days later.
The Onco DX Test helped 
me decide treatment.
When treatment was done and I was cancer free,
there was no bell to ring.

In 2019, cancer reared its ugly head again.
It was a different cancer in the other breast.
I had another surgery and more treatment.
 EARLY DECTION saved my life, twice.

Team Believe was created in 2013 
and continues to this day.
We support Komen because they 
support research and early detection.
 
I would love you to be part of Team Believe.
Whether it be thorough a Komen donation, 
raffle  donation,
social media encouragement, 
prayer
or walking with the team on
 Saturday, October 17th, 2026.
Whatever is the most comfortable for you.

I appreciate you and thank you.
You know who you are.
You are part of my early detections, 
hospital stays, treatments, 
recoveries, getting the word
 out about early detection 
and being part of 
Team Believe.
I have been on a long journey
and I still have a long way to go.
Team Believe still has work to do.

Another Week

Good news.
It is drizzling outside this morning.
It is still warm and humid,
but drips are falling out of the sky!
I am so happy!
Perhaps now, our weather
 will be somewhat normal?
***
Yesterday's dinner and a movie 
was nice.


 I made parfaits for dessert...
diabetic parfaits.
Fruit and zero sugar Ready Whip.
More good news.
The dessert did not spike my glucose numbers.
*****
Today I am trying to get lots of errands done.
The house is such a mess,
but it doesn't bother me like it once did.
Please God,
Don't let me become an old lady hoarder.
*****
OK. Enough of that.
There are rain showers here this morning.
Autumn has arrived
and
I have lived to blog another week.
Life is good.
Love you beyond the moon.

A Blue Blurrrr


 Last week was a blue blurr.
I am tired today and look forward to time with Larry 
and reading a bit.
Summer is still here in Texas.
I cannot wait for the cooler weather to arrive.
It is Sunday morning and Larry has something on his mind.....
so we will leave on an adventure in a few minutes.
Please have the best day.
Love you beyond the moon.

Harvest Moon

I was outside last evening
and was overcome by the
beauty surrounding me.
This is yesterday's picture.
I have been rather grumpy lately.
Is this a grumpy picture?

Love you beyond the Moon.

The Calm


 Yesterday, I worked on a Christmas gift
 and watched the BBC version 
of Little Women.
It was relaxing.
I wish you a calm Friday.
Love you beyond the moon.
