Well, I see time didn't stop since the last time I blogged - go figure! Since I last wrote we've launched our book (wonderful success)- been written about in the newspaper as well as appeared on local TV and radio - we've sold hundreds of copies of our book and are on the way into the 1000's!! The book is already in several book stores and the response has been so overwhelmingly positive from every reader we've spoken with... it just reaffirms our belief that this book was meant to be.

Okay, with that said, I DO feel a LITTLE guilty for not working out regularly through all the excitement March has brought... I'm just a little nervous about weighing in and the pizza I grabbed for dinner was likely not the best food choice I could have made... sigh.... ah well, tomorrow is a new day and I'll start again...

I have been putting this off for awhile now but I have some sad news for you all - for those of you who have read 'Choosing to Smile' you'll recall reading about Bonnie Holmes in all three of our stories. She is our 'fourth musketeer' and the fourth member of our survivor's dinner group along with Michelle, Julie and myself. Bonnie was admitted to hospital two weeks ago. The reason she was unable to write her story along with ours was because she was too ill dealing with metastatic colon cancer. She also had breast cancer and a mastectomy - unrelated to her colon cancer - so she's been through a heck of a lot the past few years. She's a tough cookie but I think she's just about had enough. There comes a time when we're just too tired to keep fighting and I hate to admit that my good friend Bonnie is approaching that point in her battle; she was admitted onto the paliative care ward tonight. There is a time for tears my friends and this is one of them...but Bonnie would HATE that - her favourite expression is, "Oh well..." said in a wonderful sing song voice and a huge smile plastered on her face! Please send her your positive thoughts and prayers...

I'll keep you posted...
