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

Mud Girl Obstacle 2023

 This was my first race that was a thrill to take part in. Multiple Myeloma has been a crutch that I've been able to keep at the back end of my shoulder. It is essential to keep living and doing which I tend to do at the 10th degree. Despite the labels, the Mudrun race was a new thing to do and crush. I live by breaking the rules and breaking those assumptions that life stalls. We do know life is short and I find it my kryptonite to not allow the powers that be which sometimes are out of my control to limit what I want to do; perhaps Im fortunate in being able to do things with some limits of course with a different mindset than most.  Crushing this feat of a 3-mile race with 17 obstacles in the mud, and making it through my fear of heights has now allowed me to consider other bucket list possibilities within reason to take a stab at. Cheers to living your best, even when the "You" has been tested at all degrees. Courtesy: Spitfir Production Courtesy: Spitfir Production
