A CLEAR CONSCIENCE FOR BEST RESULTS

Examples of a clear conscience from the Cambridge English Dictionary, because it’s good to start in the same lane.   I’m finding it hard to continue to drive a gas-powered car with a clear conscience. These desserts are great for people watching their weight as you can eat them with a clear conscience. It’s just […]

KNIGHT CANCER INSTITUTE: SECOND OPINION ON SECOND OPINIONS

The Knight Cancer Institute has been on my mind since its inception. Why would a sports company founder devote huge resources to starting a cancer institute? It wasn’t a one time donation. Yesterday the Institute pulled in another $2 billion. It’s a big story built on little stories like this:

RESISTANCE TRAINING = BETTER LIFE

I believe in resistance training for a better life. Call it a core belief for one and all. Does everyone benefit from resistance? Yes they do, but there is resistance out there.

STOMP OUT CANCER FROM THE KICK OFF

Stomp out cancer was the theme for the Oregon Ducks v Michigan State football game at Autzen stadium. It was a fitting theme in my family where cancer is no stranger. Maybe your family, too, but I hope not. Here’s what it looks like and sounds like:

BREAKING STRIDE, LOSING MOMENTUM, PICKING IT UP

Breaking stride matters when you’re the lead horse in a harness race. Do that and you’re disqualified. What happens when you breakdown in your regular day to day life? Who notices that? You. Or you should, since everyone else does.

DIFFERENCE MAKER, THE RECIPE

A difference maker is often the last to know what’s up. Who has ever been to a funeral or memorial and heard strangers talk about the deceased in terms so glowing it sounds like nobody you know. And you’ve known them most of your life. How does that happen?

CANCER CONVERSATIONS ONLINE AND OFF

Cancer conversations never get old for people who’ve had it, and those living with it. They happen in waiting rooms for chemo, waiting rooms for radiation, and waiting rooms for scans and probes. Sound fun yet? This isn’t a suggestion: Make it fun or a little of you dies in that waiting room. Find something.

MEDICAL ADVICE? HOW TO SPOT THE WRONG STUFF EARLY

Medical advice used to come from squirrelly sources. Not actual squirrels but just as nutty. Today it comes from trusted men and women elected to high office. And doctors. Which brings up the element of trust. Whose medical advice is better for people?

THE WORLD STOPS FOR NO ONE. HOW DO I KNOW?

The world stops for you, and you, and you, because you need a break? And it stops for the rest of us because things are moving a little too fast? Hold that thought. Hold the next one, too. Hold it tight.

MY CANCER: THE MYTH VS REALITY

(Spoiler: It’s not my cancer, your cancer, or anyone’s cancer. It’s just cancer and it needs killing instead of you, me, or anyone else.) Calling something as awful as cancer, “My cancer,” doesn’t feel right. I don’t claim ownership, I’ll never claim ownership. My loyal readers know the rest of the story, that cancer gets […]
