I am excited to announce that, effective immediately, I will be a regular contributor to The Mighty. They publish real stories by real people facing real challenges. They have 125 million readers and are partners with The Huffington Post and Yahoo.
My first article was published today. It’s called Acknowledging How Cancer Has Affected My Feelings About Myself. You can read it here. In addition to writing at The Mighty, I will continue to publish blog posts on this site.
I would like to thank all my readers and my 912 followers (as of the writing of this post) for the past year of blogging. Your constant readership, as well as insightful and useful feedback has been humbling. I love writing about life, cancer, fitness and family and I could NOT do it without you. I hope I can continue to do this well into the future.

Awesome Gail, congratulations! Just be careful, for your sake… Both Huffpo and Yahoo are notoriously liberal (especially Huffpo). Best to remember you’re a victim. Don’t go too hardcore on them, lest they shun you for being “insensitive”. You’re a pro though, just wanted to give you a heads up.

Oh, trust, I am very aware. I’m sure they’ve checked me out, though, so they are cognizant of where I stand on many issues. I’m hoping the tides are turning and people are craving a realistic view of things. I love that you are looking out for me though. We factual bloggers must stick together!!

Hello Gail. Thank you for having the courage to share a deeply personal journey. I’m a painter of all sorts of things. Some of which are fun and weird and some personal to me. Your story relates to one of my paintings. You can see it here: https://woodcanvasartist.wordpress.com/. I call it The Barn. I wanted to capture life as a whole using paint as the medium. A single piece of art to capture all the emotions of what a human experiences. It was hard to pull off, but I think I got close. It is the lead in page to my blog. A gallery of all my paintings. We all as humans experience life’s curve balls at some time or another. Some more than others. The key is to some how forge ahead through it all. I wish you wonderful journey and happiness in this thing called life.
