The onset of summer brings with it joyful, (pre breast cancer) Silver Lined memories of gingham.
Inspired Living & Celebrating Life
Silver Lining Sunset
San Francisco has some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen. What a Silver Lining to my breast cancer radiation treatment!
The Yoga Room
Yesterday, I saw a lymphedema specialist yesterday to deal with yet another side effect of breast cancer treatment. Because I am a Curious George, I had a slew of questions for her, mainly about how (if) I can get rid of this lymphedema. And if I can get rid of it, then how. And if how then what I need to do to prevent a recurrence. She sent me to The Yoga Room.
Fashion SL's: Scarves
A lovely reader who recently (& unfortunately) joined the FBC (F-bomb Breast Cancer) club asked if I would write a post describing how I tie my scarves (on my head). So, here it is!
Home Sweet Home
After a week of breast cancer treatment, there is nothing like coming home…home sweet home.
Silver Lining Book: Unbroken
In the event that you have been living under a rock (like me!) and haven’t heard about this book, I’m super excited to introduce it to you. Unbroken is an historical account of one WWII POW that is simultaneously enthralling, appalling, inspiring, and staggering. It certainly gives my breast cancer a great deal of perspective.
Preparation as Protection
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world (aside from breast cancer, of course).
One of the reasons that I feel so fortunate is that I live in Santa Barbara, one of the most beautiful places on earth. When I say beautiful, I mean spectacular.
However, it is a fire zone. And an earthquake zone. GULP. BUT,the Silver Lining is that we are now equipped with the knowledge and supplies to help protect us in the event that something (another GULP) happens.
Fashion SL's: Set in Style: The Jewelry of Van Cleef and Arpels
While in New York, I went to the Set in Style: The Jewelry of Van Cleef and Arpels exhibit at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. For a period of time, I completely forgot that I have breast cancer. What a Silver Lining!
Down on the Farm: Simply Outstanding
After a week of being poked, prodded, stretched and contorted (thank you, breast cancer!), the timing to relax in a beautiful environment, with delicious food and amazing people was impeccable.
Outstanding in the Field lived up to its incredible reputation. If you have the opportunity to participate in one of these events, don’t walk…RUN!
Fashion SL's: Jules Allen Cashmere
Jules Allen is one of those people who, if she weren’t so darn nice, a girl could really be snarky about her because she is gorgeous, talented, fun, loyal, energetic, and oh so sweet (and itty-bitty!). She designs my favorite cashmere line, Jules Allen Cashmere. I wear her cashmere all the time because it is… Continue reading Fashion SL's: Jules Allen Cashmere
