A few weeks ago, I wrote a post to close this blog. It had begun two years ago, entitled “Carrie’s NHL Blog”, with the intent to keep family and friends up-to-date as I battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma. It grew to be source of healing for me and way to reach out to other cancer [...]

This Blog…and the Next…
Posted in Cancer, Epilepsy, Life Goes On on November 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
While I can’t enjoy coffee any more, I liked this photo when it popped up on Flickr so I thought I would share it with you.
I recently brought my NHL blog to a close, having put that chapter of my life behind me, but I still have things to share. [...]
Lemon Green Tea

Just a note of thanks to everyone for the response to my recent blog post. My UPS man delivered two boxes of lemon green tea yesterday and just as poppies have been a symbol of hope for me over the last two years, I think that a cup of lemon green tea has come [...]
Too Much to Bear
Posted in Life Goes On on November 3, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I’ve been through a lot in the last two years….I’ve lost a lot, I’ve given up a lot. I’ve been diagnosed with cancer, epilepsy, an aneurysm and an ulcer. I’ve had to adapt my life to the changes brought on by my illness, giving up the freedom to drive, giving up wine and [...]
After the Cyclone….
Posted in Cancer, Epilepsy, Life Goes On, non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on October 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »
“Midway along the journey of our life I awoke to find myself in a dark wood.”
In 2007, at 45 years of age, I awoke to find myself in a dark wood, diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I had always been healthy and I had lived a healthy lifestyle so this news came as quite [...]
Faith

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thess 5:16-18
I’ve rarely mentioned faith in my blog but nothing has done more to get me through the past two years than my faith. At times [...]

Such a pretty photo…just wanted to share….
I’m quite happy today…..in spite of it all. I think that the Lamictal is finally out of my system. I wish that I was headed to California tomorrow instead of the oncologist…..but there will be shows again in my future. I have a pretty red bitch [...]
Staying Home
Posted in Life Goes On on July 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’m writing today from one of my favorite spots…the courtyard in front of our house. I spend a lot of my time here these days, enjoying the warm days of summer, with my laptop or a good book and a glass of wine or cup of tea. I was supposed to go to [...]
Egeskov Slot

This is a picture of Egeskov Slot (Castle) on Funen in Denmark. We traveled to Denmark a few years ago and attended the “Very Special Show” (Beagle Specialty) and a big Newfoundland specialty where Lesley judged Best in Specialty (brought into the ring on the back of a Harley!). My Danish ancestors came [...]
A Mental Traveler

“I have been….a mental traveler”….
One of my favorite lines from my all-time, hands down, no doubt about it favorite movie…”Out of Africa”. I can’t even drive five miles into town these days so I spend most of my time in my courtyard, with my laptop and my puppies, trying to stay in touch with [...]
