Wishing you all a Happy and Health 2025.
It's time once again to put together my list of what I aspire to do in 2025.
- Let's start off with something that has been on my list since 2014. Yes, Visiting Maine remains on my list. Maybe this year?
- Amber is going to be 15 years old this year. I hope to continue to take her on those long walks.
- I will continue to create art - watercolor in particular.
- Exercise is on my list. I'll continue taking lessons and playing Pickleball and dancing in Jazzercise class.
- As the #gyncsm chat on X/Twitter came to a close I started thinking more about the types of advocacy work I am involved with. My ovarian cancer experience, now twenty years old is valuable on some levels but is out of date in other areas. I have no experience with any of the new treatment options. So some activities - updating this blog with the latest ovarian cancer research news, reviewing cancer research grant applications and being a patient advocate advising clinical trials and mentoring other women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will continue. Slowly, I will scale back other time commitments. I will finish the terms of my appointments on different committees but I will not accept new positions in 2025.
- I look forward to spending more time with Nick, my children, their
spouses, my grandsons and friends.
I think my word of the year will be SILENCE. The world is a noisy and busy place. I tend to be on the move a lot. So I'll make an effort to just be quiet - no TV, no social media, - just be.

Every Day is a Blessing!
