2018 Update


Well, it’s been almost three years since I’ve checked in. It was a very busy time caring for ill parents and mother-in-law so painting was almost nonexistent. My folks passed within 5 months of each other and a big move for us, but now life is wonderful!!!! I’m down to once a year for check ups and still cancer free, PTL!

 My husband and I, now semi-retired, were able to move away from the busy pace of rapidly growing Atlanta to the lovely Murrells Inlet in SC. We are so blessed to live 3 miles from the beach and near some of the best seafood on the East coast! I’ve gotten back in the groove of painting 5 days a week and sales couldn’t be better. Gratitude to my Heavenly Father for bringing me through these last five years of illness and being a caretaker to others is my constant focus!

I’m now building my new medical team which has been a challenge in a much smaller community. I’ve only seen a dentist so far and have an appointment with a primary care doc who I hope can give me a good reference for an oncologist. Eating Paleo ( not super strict ),  I’ve tried to do what I can to stay healthy. Exercise is my biggest challenge, but up until these coldest months, regular long walks on the beach has been my favorite form of moving the body.

I’m thankful for each day and celebrate good health and more blessings than I deserve! God bless you!
