Mother's Day


Wow. This Sunday is Mother's Day and it means so much to me. It means that I'm here, alive and kickin it! We've been living life fully, together, and everyday has been a "mother's day" for me. Granted, some are better than others.......but i got em! I look at my kids differently since surviving cancer. Before, cancer, it was easy "not" to see them, life blocked the view. I see clearly now. Everything is in focus. I see them as little human beings, amazing creations of God with big hearts that truly don't have a mean bone in their bodies. They're growing into teenagers now. That's scary but still fun. I read somewhere that children come into our lives to teach us........teach us how to love, live, care and become better people. I can say, my kids have taught me tons and all of it good. I'm a better person because i had children and for that.........i live. Jake and Jesse were my inspiration to fight the good fight. My job is to make sure they walk down their wedding aisle happy, well adjusted, loving people. Their successes in life are mine, too. We're a team. I can't imagine living without them. I had to be here for them and for all their life journeys when they want me around. I can't wait to hear the cries of my first grandchild. How precious life is, how wonderful and what an amazing honor to live it, fully and compassionately with my two greatest joys.......Jake & Jess........I love you immensely. Thank you for all our days together. I'm blessed to have you. xoxoxo Mama ;o)

Raising funds, awareness and making a difference.......






There's a season for everything. Spring is peak season for the ACS Relay For Life events and they continue through out the summer. Team Boobiehead participated in our first Pre-Relay event (April 2nd) hosting a concert with Nashville stars, Bomshel, along with opening act, 12 year old Sydney Rhame from Atlanta. Many, many thanks go out to the these talented performers and all the volunteers it takes to make a venue of this size come to fruition. Next, we had our own Glynn County RFL held April 15th. Family flew in to walk the survivor lap with me and my other survivor buddies. It was a day of celebration, for sure. This time last year, i was bald, super skinny and still going through weekly chemo treatments. I looked like cancer. This year, mid-January, my chemo port came out, hair has grown back crazy curly and now it's time to march for those who can't. I never, in a million years, would've thought I'd get cancer but it happened. No history, no DNA, young at 42 and in picture perfect health.....what are the odds? No one knows why we get the fight of our lives but we do. Just because i'm done with treatment, doesn't mean i'm done. I'm here to help those who can't. The seasons may change but the mission doesn't.
Help Team Boobiehead continue to raise funds, awareness and make a difference everyday.
Buy a tshirt, have a laugh at being a Boobiehead and help.......It's why we're here in on this planet. Again, thank you to everyone for helping out the last three weeks. We couldn't have done it without you!
