Just wanted to share the link to my book that is filled with interesting, helpful and heartfelt advice about Life Before During and Beyond Cancer http://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Expecting-Cancer/dp/1492387789/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386810477&sr=1-4&keywords=throat+cancer

Hello and greetings and apologies for not getting around ot checking my Google accounts lately :) I have as always and as usual been staying very  busy... It is hard to believe 2 years have flown by since Congress's shenanigans with the farm bill and limits to sales outside certain radius's made me decide the Herbal Tea business, (even though I do of course continue to grow here for friends and personal use), was just too much work for me outside and too iffy and stressful and worrisome as far as from a legal aspect and confusing tax matters to continue.

I am glad to see so many have enjoyed the information and I wanted to take a moment in response to numerous inquiries... yes anyone who would like to make use of or share the blog entries with proper credit back that is fine with me ... it is after all more about sharing knowledge with each other.

I wish I had saved the yola site info :( It was so well organized and had so many nice pictures ;) Alas I guess I waited too long, or Yola is no more? Either way links to site have gone dead so this blog is all that is left of the herb information compiled over the years.

As far as myself I am still here and still kicking ...  I have published my first book available on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Expecting-Cancer/dp/1492387789/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386810477&sr=1-4&keywords=throat+cancer

I have also published a couple of children's books  http://www.amazon.com/Day-Lion-Learned-Not-Bully/dp/1493702106/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396022614&sr=1-4&keywords=debra+paulsen   as well as begun a #Teachers Resource #Classroom & #Clubs #Children's #GroupActivity book series as well.  http://www.amazon.com/How-Lion-Learned-Not-Bully/dp/1494441349/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396022681&sr=1-1&keywords=debra+paulsen

Currently I am working hard on a 5 book Classrooms and Clubs #Teacher Resource set about #EmergencyPreparedness for Pre K - 3rd Grade due out at the end of May.

I will try to get back here occasionally and you are of course all welcome to find me at one of the many facebook pages / groups I manage or am a member of, and I am on these regularly (lol Daily pretty much) .

Current World Events>>> Where Have I been

Well it has certainly been a long time since I have posted here lol. It is not that I have not been staying current, or vocal, quite the contrair, I have just mostly been hanging out and communicating via Facebook more lately.

I have a cold, which as a throat cancer survivor is especially a pain in the A#&. My nose has been so stuffed, and since my salivary glands have been severly compromised(to the point of non existent) by the radiation and chemo treatments, words cannot describe how horribly dry my throat has been and continues to be. Mouth breathing sucks:( Hey on the plus side though... I NEVER drool on my pillows anymore:)

My shoulder, after the surgery in December continues to cause pain and limitations in my life, and physical therapy (AKA Self inflicted torture) has not been able to improve the problems. My shoulder is 3x as bad now, as it was prior to surgery, and that REALLY sucks, and there is no bright side that comes to mind at the moment. GRRRR.

So, What's up in the world? I am going to be following this post with a number of "catch up" entries, based upon FB discussions over the past few weeks. I see my last post here was in regards to Egypt's uprising, so I am far behind lol. I will pass on getting into the Wisconsin / collective bargaining rights protests and Lybia for today, in lieu of catching up on "earth" events, which may be all related.
I say this because as bad as the Japan earthquake and resulting tsunami waves which threaten the US West Coast are, I think that soon we may see things getting much worse.

My Current Favorite Song:)

I Love music and singing, not being able to sing has been one of the suckiest parts of this whole throat cancer mess, but this song MAKES me Smile and sing....
It hurts like hell, but it feels so good, wouldn't want to stop it even if I could
just the thought of you can make me Smile:)

You´re better then the best

I´m lucky just to linger in your life

Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right

Completely unaware

Nothing can compare to where you send me

Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok

And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed

Sing like a bird

Dizzy in my head

Spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold

Buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone

Somehow you come along

Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that

You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of

bed sing like bird

Dizzy in my head spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold

buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you

Cuz everytime that I get around you

I see the best of me inside your eyes

You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold

buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed

sing like bird

Dizzy in my head

spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold

buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh you make me smile

Ohh you make me smile

Ohh you make me smile
