meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	I've been working 70+ hours/week for the past 3 weeks, so I haven't been in the forums much recently. That's typical for my May & November schedules, and thank goodness it's over for now! My blessing is this: yesterday, May 19, was the 10-year anniversary of when I was diagnosed with cancer. So I'm a 10-year survivor!! In remission and doing fine. And tomorrow is my 58th birthday, something I didn't think I'd see 10 years ago. Life is a miracle, and I'm glad to be here another year. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

Lola Member Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3703 Loc: London UK	WOW!!! What an extremely joyful news and anniversary to celebrate with you, Meredith. I am extremely joyful. Nay...ecstatic would be the most appropriate word to describe how one feels. What a grand, grand blessing indeed! And, as it is with my faith, and in the spirit of its greatest expression, I offer a Mass in thanksgiving. God bless. _________________________ <><

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	Rejoice! Rejoice! Medicine has come a long way. Thank God getting to hear the prognosis "Cancer" isn't a death statement anymore. I just read that women's deaths are 10 fold more related to heart attacks than cancer.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Happy, Happy, 10-year anniversary to the Divine Ms. M! You are an inspiration to women everywhere and give so many hope where there was none. Just think; I bet there are lots of women who lurk and read but are not members, so your message of hope is probably traveling around the globe. How cool is that? We just never know when that message is exactly what one person needed to read today. Thank you for sharing your inspirational life with us all and for letting your light shine for other women to see! _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Meredith, your news brings tears of joy, happiness and gratitude to my eyes and heart. You are indeed a shining inspiration to so many. I remember the poems you sent to my brother during his struggle with cancer. What amazing strength, courage and inspiration you radiated to him and to me through your writing, your life and your generous, kind willingness to share your journey with us. Thank you for being - thank you for your life - thank you for your awe-inspiring presence in this world. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	Meredith, here's to you on this wonderful milestone! Speaking from one cancer survivor to another (it's been six years this month for me!!) life IS precious and never to be taken for granted. Each day is to be enjoyed in some way. What a gift!! _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Meredith, I celebrate all your good news. I'll share it with my sister who is also a cancer survior, but not for quite as many years. This is a message of hope! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
