"Nancy, Thank you so much for reminding us all of the power in simply sharing with another person why your life is richer for having them in it. Your blog touched me so much I shared it on the Chicks with Checks Facebook fan page. Hope that was Ok…"

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
In 2002, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Though the surgery, chemo, and radiation were shockingly easy, the weird complications on the back end including a difficult infection and a seriously adverse reaction to the maintenance meds, had me in a major funk for several years. During an intense period of meditation, the idea of giving as a key part of healing emerged and has been such a blessing in every way. I am thrilled that someone has "formalized" the concept!
What I'd most like to receive:
Having received a "second lease on life," I want to continue receiving living to the fullest in pure gratitude every day.

On Day 1, I asked to be shown new ways to give and to become even more open to receiving. One of the delights has been to become aware of the tiny ways we can give. What a gift! Seemingly silly things like giving my cat the full three minutes of cuddling she wants when she actually comes… Continue

Day 1

Wow! Where to begin?



My morning tradition is to start the day with gratitude even before my feet hit the floor, but a bit of history is in order. During the really bleak and black time from 2002 - 2006 when I was "trapped" in post-cancer complications, I had completely lost touch with gratitude. In fact, things got so bad that many nights I went to bed saying it would be just fine if I didn't wake up. Don't misunderstand - I wasn't about to do anything about it, but was just so… Continue
