This weekend was the yearly Schiffer Publishing picnic where I have the opportunity to meet some of the authors I work with (putting a face with a name or email address!). We've had this event every year (for me 10 years now) and it's always a high-activity thing--one of the good stressors: lots of work, lots of memory, lots of coordination. Always worth it to see the passion of the people I only get to talk with or email throughout the year. These years since the cancer diagnosis, though, have been so very tiring for me during festivities like this. We have a full day of seminars on the Friday before the Saturday picnic. And by Sunday, I'm sleeping a huge amount of my time to try to regain my strength. It's not that I'm feeling bad--I'm doing good and still in remission--but my energy levels are not what they used to be. I push them to the max these two days, not purposely, but because I actually feel the passion in the air. It's intoxicating! A lovely weekend and a tribute to my doctors, health community and support system allowing me to move forward like this. All "my authors" are a part of me and it's so fantastic to share with them. So for today I rest and return the the high-intensity race of business tomorrow. Here's to the mind, body, and spirit that prompt all of us toward good health, good heart, and good life.

AuthorI have been just a regular person in good health — except for the headaches that (as those who know me can testify to) are mostly terrorizing. Before cancer came to visit. There's no breast cancer in my family and I've not had an inkling of a risk factor. Still...here I am. Since I'm in the public eye in some ways and many people ask, and because it's not a dark secret, I thought I'd keep a blog so people could keep track of what's going on with me -- if they chose to. I want to assure those who worry, that I practice what I preach in the mind, body, spirit world and that I will be fine. I also will maintain all of my responsibilities, so don't worry about your books, projects, or your relationships with me. All will muddle through one way or another. I'm accepting gratefully all prayers, energies, spells, light, and love from any who care to send! And I return the same! Thank you all for being in my life! Dinah . Archives
