Have You Checked Your Breasts Today?
Tomorrow I’m having a biopsy on my left breast and I’m absolutely petrified. Not so much from the procedure itself (although I cringe when I think about that loooong needle they are going to insert) but from what the results may reveal. You see I have a dense lump on my left breast that has remained the same size and shape for the last 2 years but during my recent follow-up mammogram (which I have been diligently getting every 6 months), the results indicated that the lump grew in size.

Throwback References Our Kids Will Never Understand…Sadly
The other day I was sitting at the dining room table with my sons. We were each doing our thing – they were doing homework, and I was working on my laptop.

We All Have Our Own Eclipses
How beautiful was that total solar eclipse today? Our sun, which is normally so reliable was suddenly stained black by the mysterious moon. For a brief few moments, everything went dark and still. The sun had vanished and the sky had darkened. It was not like night; it was not like day. It was simply something different. The rules of nature turned upside down, yet perfect in every way. Necessary and perfect. Soon after, the sun returned with all its glorious and golden brightness and brought us back to reality. While these eclipse cycles have been occurring for millions of years, Mother nature, a true artist, once again left us…
