2 Years 3 months (early)

Today is Mothers Day. It can be a bit heart wrenching for me as it reminds me that my own mother is gone. It also reminds me that my eldest son and two step daughters will continue to be 'out of contact'. However, my youngest son is here. He tells me every day at least once a day "I love you mum" and I always tell him at least one a day that I love him. They aren't just words. They are heart felt and real. Today is supposed to be a special day for mothers. So many have estranged children,parents etc. If possible, now is an opportunity to break down those communication barriers and start over.

This month has been huge! The coming months are set to be much the same. Some of my brain buddies, my family and I have decided we will either colour or hair purple or shave our heads to raise funds for Cure for Life Foundation. In the last few weeks Charlie Teo has been fairly prominent in the news having announced his 10 year global plan to cure brain cancer. Of course this is a fantastic step forward int the world of brain tumour research. I found it interesting that we formed an international team to raise funds for Cure for Life and  Charlie announced his global plan shortly after.

And now for something completely different!

This is my new project 

We as a group of brain tumour survivors, family, and supporters, spread across the world, will shave our heads or colour them purple (the cure for life foundation colour) together when we reach our goal. We are trying to raise much needed funds for brain tumour research so that one day soon brain tumour and brain cancer patients can be told they have a manageable disease, preferably a cure.

Life is good! I have been having all kinds of fun plotting and planning. I have been doing super secret art projects to be revealed at a MUCH later date. Planning my next international trip to NZ with my friends Alonya and Rick.

The Old Me (Very Long)

For a while after I came home I kept comparing myself to the 'old' me and using it as a measuring stick to where I 'should' be. This morning I started thinking very seriously about it. I haven't really thought about the "old" me and how I 'should' be for quite sometime, pretty much from when I accepted that this is a new me and I'll be the best new me I can be. so I thought I'd post here what I have been thinking about.

Late! 2 years 1 month

I have been completely useless keeping this updated this month.

I remembered!

One of the things I was going to write about in my 2 year anniversary post was something that has always confused me.

I have had people telling me I am inspirational, amazing, brave etc etc... thing is I don't get it. I just don't understand why they think that or say that. There are plenty of people out in the world that I consider to be inspirational however in the scheme of things I don't rate up there.

2 Years!

Over the last few weeks I have come up with a million things to put in this post. Now that it comes to writing it and posting it I suddenly seem to be at a complete loss.
