TAKE THAT cANCER...A Mother and Son's Journey to HOPE
Mrs. Schmeller, my high school English teacher is laughing right now. I could never get an "A" on any work I did for her...I'm pretty sure this book wouldn't be an A but it comes from my heart. :)
It's the story of our dual cancer fight, about how you have to fight with your gloves off, and about hope and faith in a God who loves us more than anything.
It's 5 years wrapped up into 110 pages. That was no easy feat...
As you can see...I like to type...words flow...too many words :)
So I had a co-author, her name is Maureen Rank and she was a gem. She helped me get things into a structure so I could feel what I really wanted to share and what really was important. I have thousands of pages of writing over the past five years and every page was important to me.
I'm not good at "thinning" :)
Once she had the format worked out, I could then write and literally feel what I wanted to say. I had no plan...I just wrote from my heart.
Hopefully, the book will give you courage and uplift you. It will probably make you shed a tear or two and I hope you fall over laughing at times too!
I expected to have a book when I was done, but I did not expect for the process to change me and help me grow. It did.
In so many ways, I feel like I have been able to wrap that package up and put it closer to a shelf. I'm not sure it will ever make the shelf...I don't think cancer fights work that way...but it is in a package, with a big bow!
Five years of battling, crying, laughing, detouring, living....
What a blessing to be able to write this book and have a story that is continuing for now!!
BLESSED!!

If you live in Kansas City, you can pick a copy up at Outside The Box Gifts in the Rosanna Shopping Square in Overland Park 11616 Metcalf Avenue (right beside Mardel). You don't have to pay S&H that way AND we will have them for you at the HOPE Walk on June 8 at Frontier Park in Olathe. :)
They are on Amazon but if you purchase them from our website, we get to keep about twice the profit as apparently Amazon likes to have a big old share! :)
I hope you enjoy the book should you purchase one.
It feels so empowering to be able to write this story and put the past 5 years in that box...with the big bow...
TAKE THAT cANCER!! :)
