Today Aquarius vs. Cancer turns one year old. One Year!
Thank you readers for coming back. Thank you followers and commenters as you two groups keep me going! However, without ALL of you combined I would have called it quits a long time back.
I’d love to give you some spiel on what the next year will bring. Truth is, I don’t have a clue. I write about my cancer which is all over the place! But, if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them in the comments section below. (While your commenting, click follow to get email updates!)
Aquarius vs. Cancer 
you have the most hilarious sense of humor ever!!! as for that cupcake, now i’m hungry for one – thanks…
and happy anniversary! and thank you for creating an online community.!
Gwendolyn, I’m glad you find it useful. But, really? No tips… I’ll continue to wing it.
I love your comments!
sorry i’m still fixated on the cupcake — what type of frosting is that..
The cupcake is from a delightful bakery called Piece of Cake. The treat is Irish Oatmeal, with cream-cheese like frosting. It’s vegan, wheat free, and organic – so Portland! It’s amazing! I served this cake to 50 friends at SW’s 40th. I left off the “vegan…etc” until all plates were clean. The crowd was shocked! Portland bakeries have excellent options for people with all kinds of diets. Lucky us.
thanks – never been to portland – this is reason enough to make the trip 🙂 i remember being in italy and eating lots and lots of croissants and never gaining a pound perhaps eating a ton of these would result in the same – no later muffin top!
have a nice weekend 🙂
which is to say perhaps portland is where “magical” food can be found – as it looks to be so 🙂

I love your posts. They r real heartfelt and vulnerable. Traits I aspire to. I’m tasked w presenting next month at Hope Summit on the topic of writing/ blogging. With your permission. I would like to share some of your chronicle. Please let me know if you’re open to this for the group. I think it would be nothing less than life changing
Thanks, Randy Broad
Of course! Share away… Flattery works like a charm on me. 🙂
Couldn’t agree more about the value of your understated, deeply impactful words. Xoxo
Awww, shucks. Compliments from real writers makes me blush.
But gosh, if Sister Diana Frances could only hear you! I’m fairly certain, as a 6th grader, she thought I was a lost cause when it came to ALL things writing. I’d track her down to tell her of my compliments but I’m sure I still owe her a “stations of the cross”.
Love you Ms Marcy!
Kim – I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts – they are inspirational, funny, heartfelt, touching, meaningful – and you are an excellent writer! Thank you for taking the time and energy to let us know how things are going for you. I always look forward to seeing what you have to say, and I wish you the best. I’m so glad you are making some travel plans! Fun!
You are in my prayers.

I love to hear from others. Please, keep commenting Beth!
This anniversary you remember! Your blog helps me to know I am not alone. It makes me laugh on days I feel like crying. Thank you Kimmy.
Confession… I got an email notification about it. Let’s keep that between you and me. 😉
Happy Birthday! I for one am glad you are out there sharing, thanks!

Congrats on reaching this milestone!
It’s tough, as you know!
Hey lady, happy blog anniversary!! Yours is my favorite. I really enjoy the balance you strike between treatment/medical details and life reflections/what you’re learning or realizing. I’m looking forward to year 2. And I expect bouldering trip photos to continue. 😉
I so badly miss bouldering…one day…soon…or maybe not soon…but just one day…that would be so lovely. xoxo
Happy Bloggerversary! My ears seams and I are so happy we came across your fabulous blog – I say a little cheers to you when I’m applying my post-WBR moisturizer! Looking forward to many more informative and humorous posts. And pictures of cupcakes are nice, too.
So glad it is working for you Bitty! Do you have one week left? Yay for that!
Last one was a week ago last Thursday. This week has been all about moisturizing. Angry ears seams and eyeglasses are an unhappy mix! Hopefully my eyes, ears, forehead and noggin will start to calm down a bit more in the week ahead!
You’re done! Fantastic. Keep applying the creams. Wearing glasses is no fun. Can you wear them over top of a hat? My ears are sore thinking about wearing frames.
Happy healing!
