I am 63 years old and a cancer survivor, a writer and memoir coach. Truth be told, I have had so many brushes with death and made it through thus far, I can't help but wonder that I'm here for a reason other than just enjoying myself, learning my lessons and musing at missed opportunities. You get my drift :-) I call myself the "random blogger" and publish short pieces on (hannakebbede.wordpress.com) My next piece is entitled "10 things I know" from the lofty to the mundane, but they are insights that made a difference in my life. I'd like to start a thread if you care to share . . . my post will be available by week's end.
