Dad denies trip to Disney
Yavonda of Baby in the Beasts emailed me the following article about a Toledo, Ohio man that is denying his daughter a chance to go to Disney through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. After reading the article once, my reaction was…..what a deadbeat dad! How can he deny his daughter, who has probably been through hell and back fighting her battle against cancer. After reading the article again, I decided that I am not the parent of this child, nor am I a perfect mother. I have made plenty of...
Read MoreTina’s story: A heartwarming triumph over breast cancer.
I was 43 years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer on July 5, 2007. On that day, my whole world was turned upside down, and my life as I knew it was never to be the same.

I first met Jody at one of my church’s W.I.L.D. (Women of Integrity Love and Devotion) event. The church threw Jody a surprise baby shower. They told her story about how she had beat the odds and was pregnant with a little girl after battling breast cancer and being told she would not be able to have anymore children. I was moved and heartbroken after hearing her story. I was in tears as I sat and listened and just thought to myself “what a brave and wonderful women.” I...
Read MoreMoody Mom: Race for the Cure
Every year my friends, neighbors and I walk in the Race for the Cure. Last year we dressed up like little girls for the race. We wore our hair in braids, carried lollipops and made rosy checks on ourselves. Some of us added pink to our hair. I am always in awe about the number of ladies that walk in the event and the number of men who participate in the 3 miles of men who cheer us on as we walk by them. I’ve seen babies in strollers, children walking and I even saw a bulldog wearing a...
