Thanks to all of you who have stopped by Life-Cise and this blog, and a big thank you to all of you who continue coming back. It is gratifying that what I am so passionate about has meaning for you, too.
I am especially thankful for the friendships I have developed through writing this blog. That's an added benefit that had never occurred to me when I started; when I started I wasn't even sure anyone would care what I had to say. But through this blog and also through the writing that many of you do, I've gotten to know some of you. And I've come to count you as friends.
It does seem odd to me sometimes to feel connected with people I've never met. But through our writing, connection and friendship with some lovely women and men all over the world is what I've found, and for that I am thankful.
We write about what matters to us, what amuses us, what we are passionate about. Often we write about cancer, but we also write of other things. Those of us in the cancer community sometimes write from very different perspectives. We are newbies, long-time survivors, angry, hopeful, scared, disease-free, or struggling with mets. All of us have a vital and important voice because as survivors, we do not have just one voice.
So, thank you all for your voice, your questions, your friendship - you add to my life.

Julie, I could not agree with you more. Each day I am amazed at how each of us is so unique in our perspective and yet we also share this "bond of cancer." I hope the New Year brings you only good things.
Julie thank you for your beautifully written post. Thank you also for your presence in my life. I have found you to be particularly caring and giving with both information and your time.
I am grateful to have 'discovered' you and look forward to a continuation in 2011.
What a beautiful post. Thank you for this, and for all of your postings. I find what you write about really resonates with me and really appreciate the contact via your blog and website.
