Loving life...all of it  has been my email signature for years.  As I travel through my own life's journey, the 'all of it' portion continually takes on new meaning.  In December 2010, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and knew that it was another opportunity to embrace more of my 'Loving life...all of it' perception. 

May 26, 2011 was my last chemotherapy treatment and August 11th was my last radiation treatment.   It's very clear that the next phase of my journey is to begin sharing some of the Life Lessons I've experienced through a new presentation called, "Loving life...all of it." 

On Thursday, June 16, 2011,  "Loving life...all of it," was introduced to the community during a special event at Alton Memorial Hospital in Alton, IL.  The outpouring of love at this event was more than I could have imagined...it was a win/win for everyone!  A special thanks goes to Susie Bechtold, Gift Shop Manager, and Dave Whaley, Senior Coordinator/Public Relations for organizing and publicizing "Summer in the Garden."
