Real stories, told by real people.

Happy New Years!! Hope all is well, It's good to be back with another sit down, we've got another Story to share. Today Rachel joins us, and she has a story to tell.

"From a Kick in the Head to a Kick in the Ass" is the name of Rachel's memoir. Initially, it was only meant for her two boys. She raised her kids without telling them exactly what was going on with her health wise. From infusions to Ocular Melanoma diagnoses and therapy treatments, she kept her condition hidden from both her boys.

This memoir was Rachel's way of giving her boys a peek behind the curtain. An explanation to those treatments, therapies, and, in her words "so they could see life wasn’t bad and, as a family, they made my life a lot easier to navigate."

Listen to Rachel's optimism, and her refusal to "throw a pity party" , the joy and love she has for life, and for her family, and the resilient spirit which no diagnoses, disability or medical condition can choke out. I'm pleased to introduce another GIANTS AMONGST US. Hope you enjoy the conversation, and feel free to share some of your own thoughts on any of the platforms listed.

'Til next time

and very soon,

PEACE!
