This book is a collection of poems I wrote and collages I created to commemorate my 10-year anniversary of beating advanced colon cancer. Many people who suddenly received a cancer diagnosis have found this book to be uplifting. Spread hope to those who need inspiration during scary times.

Being a new mom is not easy, at least it wasn't for me. I didn't realize babies cried so much or how exhausting it would be those first three months. After spending 15 years in the workforce, this book chronicles the lessons I learned by staying home that first year.

My gift books are available through Blurb.com, a print-on-demand publisher. Because books are printed in small quantities and just for you, pricing is higher. The quality of printing is outstanding and worth the extra cost. Spread the word.
