Welcome

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women. I know, because it happened to me--no family history, out of the blue (and into the pink). A year later, after a mastectomy, chemo and radiation, I am still here. I'm thriving, surviving and living out from under the shadow of cancer.

The Karate Kid


June 22, 2010 Beginning of Week 4 of Radiation Therapy
(4 miles/ 6600 steps)




I haven't been this excited about a movie since Star Trek came out last year in 2009.  What can one say about a 12-year old who does his own stunts and trains in martial arts religiously? Jaden Smith demonstrates self-discipline and confidence that puts most adults to shame. His performance in The Karate Kid (which could have been aptly named, The Kung Fu Kid) was inspiring, exciting, and even coaxed a few tears from my eyes. Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are a great team with natural chemistry, teaching a new generation timeless lessons in self-esteem, courage and civility.

I agree with Jackie Chan:  "Jaden Smith could be the next great action movie star. "

 Five Stars!
