Dreams do come true!
Following a dream despite having become homeless, facing death threats, being diagnosed with uterine cancer!
One woman's journey to herself.
See photos for a glimpse into the story.

A free place to stay? IS there such a thing as a place to get away where it's free?
Here are a few pics from the project I've been working on.

Editor Note:
My uterine update:
🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
I am keen about earlier uterine cancer detection.
🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
Some of our readers know I underwent emergency surgery for uterine cancer in April.
Despite the dire warnings there was a high probability I may not survive the surgery , thanks to Our Heavenly Father, I am still here.
It has been a very long road back to walking & being able to drive due to a fall following surgery.
I am truly fortunate.
When I went for an ultra sound because of the pain, they were surprised my cancer was found as first stage and had not been prescribed chemo, as uterine cancer is usually a silent killer.
As I approach my first 6 month check up, the importance of earlier uterine cancer detection has been put in my heart .
To help raise awareness and funds for uterine cancer research, I am setting up a new peach themed Zazzle store .
Why peach?
Peach is the awareness ribbon colour for uterine cancer.
So How am I?
I'm peachy keen.

Peachy keen about earlier uterine cancer detection.
Of you would like to check out my new peach themed Zazzle store, message this page.

How do you deal with others taking credit for you work? I guess in one way, I should be flattered, that someone likes my work sooo much that they would want to take credit for it. On the other hand, when they seek to discredit you and use your own work as proof THEY are doing work??? This is incredible! So what's the solution? Just another frustration of blogging for a company that wants the TEAM acknowledged on allposts, but the only person contributing to the work is you!

People call me a science fiction writer, but I don't think that's quite true. I think that I'm a magician who is capable of making things appear and disappear right in front of you and you don't know how it happened.' -Ray Bradbury
