MIA Blogger Springs Back Into Action.....

It has been way to long since I've been here blogging. While there are many reasons for my absence, it's Spring and time to Spring Into Action.

For those in the northern states, Spring is such a great time of renewal and while I love life in Southwest Florida, I miss the changing of the seasons. Spring is such a time of rebirth, renewal, growth and change. While our natural surroundings show constant signs of it, we too can make this time of year a time of growth, new beginnings and renewals.

I haven't had time to really share my journeys in the past few months and want to share in more detail in future blog posts because I think it's important. But for now, let's just say that I have a new lease on life as I knew it before. With my adventures this past winter, I realize even moreso how very precious life is and how new beginnings and renewal is such an important part of our lives.

I did not go public with everything that was going on, but in retrospect, maybe I should have. As many of you know, cancer has affected my life in many ways especially through the loss of loved ones and good friends. I am passionate about cancer related causes and early detection. Early detection saves lives - a fact I've always believed but am now living proof of.

During my absence here, the message of early detection hit home in my personal life. I am now proud to say I'm a Breast Cancer Survivor blessed by the gift of early detection, some really awesome doctors who treated me and tests that are available to all of us that created such a good outcome.

As I was going through all of this, I didn't share it because I didn't want to worry people. Gosh knows, there is enough in our world to worry about! My prognosis was always good because it was caught so early. Everything went without a hitch, not totally free of challenges, but as anticipated and now that it's all behind me I do feel renewed with a new lease on life.

I will share more about this in future posts because there is a big message I want to share with my Mom and women friends. The main one for now is this - we all hate mammograms and tests but they are oh-so important!

I count my blessings every day! I have many but with this experience a new one to add to my list.

I will be back blogging more regularly with a lot to share about life and business. There is a lot going on here - all of which went on simultaneously with treatments and medical stuff - making it almost impossible to keep up at times. Now that all of it is behind me, it's onward and upward (as my Mom always said). Time to "Spring Into Action"!

Here's wishing you a rich Spring full of that same committment to renewal, growth and ACTION!
