It's Still A Beautiful Life!

I am excited about my new pillow and greeting card line for my fellow Lupus Warriors!

The wolf was hand drawn by me during a stressful flare. There is a story behind the drawing but it's too long to put here. You can see the line and read my story on my website entitled, "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?"

Crissy, you have moved me to tears with your very raw and honest account in your blog. What an absolute inspiration you are, seriously I mean that.

Thank you for responding! I really needed that TODAY! I felt really down when I made the post and I forced myself to post despite the feeling like I was posting to myself only. Thank you again!

I LOVE your Wolf....I too have embraced the wolf...I had breast cancer 12 years ago...never did pink..in fact pink scared me. I'm not afraid of pink now though....

I know how you feel about isolating yourself......I almost feel that I have to send apology cards out to the few friends that I have, and haven't been able to even call them on the phone to say hello....isn't that ridiculous????

Thank you! I always feel like an automatic liability, so I stayed away but it backfired and now I'm not invited at all. However, I'm forcing myself out and I'm trying to make new acquaintances and not push any more people away! I am so happy to see that you are crushing cancer! and I think pink is one of the toughest colors in the world!!

Thank You...You are a sweetheart...

AS for pushing people away, I am just too tired to be in others company for the most part...I am older, I do have a husband, daughters and grandchildren to keep me connected to humans (heha)...You are Young...even though it is hard, I am glad you are "forcing " yourself to get back in to the social gig..

My Very Best
