Career Change and Cancer

I'm pondering so many thoughts of how to live a productive and drama free life.
My life in the fashion industry is indeed not easy, but there is a certain thrill that comes along with the journey.

My company Spitfir Productions is in the midst of making huge moves, which brings point to the subject Career Change and Cancer....

How does one make a huge career move all while maintaining health coverage and days built up of the years as employed. When a working professional is diagnosed with an incurable illness, not only is survival to be thought on, but how to survive if employment is not an option. I'm blessed, blessed, blessed, where I can still be heavily active; However I met many who are not fortunate and have literally stopped working because they don't have the energy,or in too much pain to be bothered.

Having a career in general is not an easy task especially for many trying to decipher what they want to do and how to go about it. When diagnosed with cancer that's the monkey wrench in the sceneraio.... how to maintain when quite frankly you're sick. it's a hard decision and not everyone is given options. career change and cancer is a huge subject, especially for a young person effected in their thirties and forties. This is just another subject to bring on the stress, that is if you don't have options to consider.

I take that back....

You're new career change may not be monetary or fullfillment basis, but more about educating yourself to the fullest on the disease and the treatment and cures in the works- that is a career change in iself.

My girl Sherrie above feels the same!

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...

Out of Commision

Hello Fellow Readers, Excuse the short absence. I was ill with some kind of strange viral infection- that no one knows for sure what it was..... This was one time I knew for sure MM was about to be the death of me! What started off as a quick turn sore throat to losing my voice in 1 day, to an ear infection the next day, to horrendous back spasms- i cannot tell you how much pain i was in. Now this may not have had anything to do with MM, but the back spasm and me crawling and dropping to the floor due to the pain.... I cannot tell you how crazy the experience has been. My concern was even more intense with the back spasms, as it was at my lower spine, where I already have small indications of lesions, so you can imagine how scary this was. I recovered from this, but hope there was no damage done, but my practioner assured me if there was fractions, I would not be about to bend and do some of the tests he had me do. I'll need to share this experience with my oncologist in th...

Healthy Snacks-2014... Crunch Appeal

Okay, so you all know I'm trying to limit my sugar and chicken intake. I'm very mindful of sugar and when enough is enough, so I still have a way to go. I came upon a recipe some years ago when diagnosed with myeloma and reading on the benefits of adding flax seed to diet. Flax seed is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, which helps in reducing bone lost, stabilizing blood sugar, promoting weight loss, as well as increasing your immune system. I have to admit I'm a snacker and it's something about getting the munchies just when it's time to call it a night that the snack attack occurs. I like snacks that crunch... I don't know maybe it's a mental thing or something. Today, we're snowed in and I need a break from my business at Spitfir, so I've played around for tonight's snack when "The Walking Dead" series comes on:) Shall we begin?? Let's rock..... ...
