2 yr Annv Breast Cancer removal

Two years ago, on June 28, 2011. I was getting a wire placed in my breast for Breast Cancer surgery.  I was alittle nervous but more anxious about the fact they were suppose to put this wire in while doing a mamography on me - Ouch!  Luckily my cancer was on the bottom of my breast and it couldn't be down so we had to do it by sonogram.  Greg drove me over to the hospital and into Pre-op we went.  I laughed and joked with the nurses.  I was in shock still so I didn't take photos that day - wish I had.  My surgeon and I have agreed when I have my port out I will take photos.

This is a shot of the drainage tube that I had under my arm after surgery - i took this shot the day I was getting it out - 2 wks after surgery

All we need is LOVE!!!

Supermoon

June 22, 2013 I photographed the moon before it was the "Supermoon".  I did not use a tripod so photo is alittle blurry but that gives it character, right? ha!!
On June 23 there was cloud coverage when I was out so I didn't get shots of the real "supermoon".  The larger than normal moon called the "Supermoon" happens only once this year as the moon on its elliptical orbit is at its closest point to earth and is 13.5 percent larger than usual.

No Place Like Home

I was visiting my family in the Carolinas the week of June 1-8.  I love being HOME and really would love to move back but I am still under doctor care for Breast Cancer.  It was great seeing Mom, Dad, Aunt Polly and my sister, her husband and my Nephew.  Loved  meeting up with a few close friends.

I had the opportunity to take a workshop with a photographer that has inspired me since I first discovered her - Catherine Anderson.  I took her Soul Collage Class, I need the spiritual time that I knew I would find at her workshop.

Who’s Better Than Me?

I joined Comedian, Life Coach, and Author Nancy Witter and a group of women for Ladies night out at Garden city Casino for the event “Who’s Better Than Me? Learning to Live Happily Ever After”

From the minute I was greeted at the door by Nancy's cousin I felt welcomed.  Her energy was amazing.  I bought tickets to help another BC survivor and mingled with the other ladies.  The band “John Khoury and His Hambones” were incredible and I even bought a pair of guitar earrings from one of the local vendors selling at the event.  What an amazing evening.  

After Nancy took the stage and had us all laughing - the energy was incredible in the building - she signed books, I bought 4 so I could share with my family.  

Awesome night out.
