by Jacqueline Hatch
About Me View My Posts
One of the most important lessons I learned growing up is the importance of giving some of what you have to others. Every year around the holidays, my father would give me $100 to donate to a local charity.

I am lucky enough to be almost 9 years out from my breast cancer diagnosis. Those 3,285 days have been filled with some really bad moments and some pretty amazing ones as well. Just like life before cancer. HA! Nothing has been the same since I had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. Not to mention the scans, blood tests, and the stack of pills I still take every day to keep the cancer at bay.... 4/23/2018 7:00:00 AM

This data point may surprise you as Alzheimer’s and related dementias today still share a common reality; they cannot be prevented, slowed or cured.After my mother’s death in 2015, I met with her geriatric psychiatrist. Our conversation transported me back... 4/17/2018 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
After being married 25 years, I’m suffering a bit from PTSD. Not necessarily from the divorce but rather from being thrown back into the dating pool! Maybe you are like me too, where finding that ideal partner has seemed like a bad joke on most days. For many, dating is a game.
