There's no better time to celebrate spring than to enjoy a weekend in the crisp, clean air of Stowe, Vermont. It's a weekend for and their families to come together to celebrate the gift of life. There are workshops, keynotes, and fun activities for the entire family. This is a once-a-year event (May 2-4, 2008), but the inspiration you receive will last a lifetime.It was four years ago that I first attended with my husband and it not only started me on my healing journey from cancer, but allowed me to pursue my passion for writing. The friends I've made there have become friends for life.
This year I will be presenting, "Writing to Heal" and "Writing to Publish."rLast year, one of the workshop attendees informed me, she just got published in a magazine for cancer survivors. How exciting to know so many are sharing their stories of survival and allowing others to catch a glimpse of hope!For more information on the Weekend of Hope, visit: www.stowehope.org.ww.stowehope.org.
Don't forget to register for the Weekend of Hope...time is running out. I'll be a presenter this year for "Writing to Heal" and "Writing to Publish."

I'll see you there!
Today I'm blogging on Boomer Babes Rock about "graduations" and "careers." Although I talk about my son and his teaching profession (how he found his passion through my cancer diagnosis, I also share reflections on a dear friend who lost her battle with cancer on Monday, February 25, 2008. Wendi Fox Pedicone was the "warrior princess" of breast cancer and led an amazing four year battle. She did more in that brief window of time than most of us do in a lifetime. She brought hope and humor to millions and I'm honored to call her friend.
