Hello my friends,

I hope you are all doing well and are getting ready for the full swing of faire. I know I am as well as itching to begin performing once again. As many of you may not know, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year May, 2007. Believe me, it hasn't been easy. It has been a little over a year in total now, but just over 6 months since I had the procedure done. As I had mentioned, I went in for my battery of tests last Friday May 2nd. I had Blood work, Ultrasound and MRI run with a few other tests and then sat around waiting for the results. And, at this point, I was told and have it in a letter from my Urologist and Oncologist that I am now cancer “FREE”. HUZZAH!!!

I still have to go back periodically over the next year or so for some follow ups. I can not tell you how elated I was on the drive back. It has been a long rode with many emotions and other bumps along the way. As well as going in every Wednesday for blood work to make sure nothing else was affected in the process and gaining weight they wanted me to. For me, it has been one of good and bad as well as seeing life in a whole different manner now. I have had my bad days with some side effects etc, but I kept going. Now it’s loose the weight back again and delve into performing. I want to personally thank everyone for your prayers, thoughts, letters, calls and encouragement. It helped so much during this past year and still does. Thank You...

As I look ahead, I am looking to get back into shape over the next few months and enjoy many things that I haven’t been able to. In other words, I am going to start doing things for ME and not let all the crap or stress of people or life in general to bring me down. This has opened my eyes about many things. Life is to short to “sweat the small stuff”. It isn't easy, but the soul has the fight and the encouragement and open hearts of others makes all the difference. This is going to be a great faire season!!!

You Were a Lynx

You are a great knower and keeper of secrets. A bit psychic, you can bring out hidden truths.

This animal really hit the nail on the head. Boy, is this description the truth for me... I do find out the lies and hidden truths. I have always said even in my profile, I will find out the truth of things eventually and I usually do in people who lie, play games or are deceptive. There are some that this has been going on with for a while and even now, that I have known and found out a great many things that they don't know that I know. And they continue not to tell me the reality of things or only what they think I want to hear or do. But, I have found out much over time. And, soon it will all come out. They think I don't have a clue of the truth and so they keep it up. I just have been playing along to let them dig their holes deeper. I am one who digs and goes to the sources to get my info and the truth and doesn't go through the gossip, rumor, read into things or make stuff up channels just to suit their purpose. Especially those who open their mouths before having the facts or knowing at all what they really read in the first place or are talking about. Yes... the Lynx really does fit me well.

Laugh Loudly and Love Always,
