Wouldn’t it be great to build a truly unique life with your own two hands?

Most mornings RancherMan & I engage in what I consider to be an intense conversation about any number of hot-button social topics.

Today as I do each year, I tiptoe into a powerfully emotional & volatile day. It’s the anniversary of the day I kicked breast cancer to the curb. First & foremost, I Praise God for my healing!
I’m grateful for my health but… this particular day each year just always sends me into pretty hard emotional turmoil.
Fear, dread, maybe survivor’s guilt? I don’t know, but it grips me each year. Hard.
