    I am so very happy to hear that the results are negative!! It breaks my heart though that you have been living with such fear. Stress is a monster.

    I have to say, however, your vigor and determination read even to a complete stranger. I wish you well and I wish you more that "going after your dreams" stuff.

    Dear Denise,

    Thank you for telling us all about it, and I am so sorry it's been such a rough road. Those techs, secretaries, parking lot attendants, etc, at medical centers just don't know how much their attitude and energy affect the patients.

    I understand being undone about the possible breast ca diagnosis--probably you'd been "strong" and held it together for scare #1, relaxed, and then scare #2 was just too much.

    Sorry to hear about your uncle, too. And you're right, we make a powerful choice when we eat well and move our bodies. You're an extraordinary example of this! A role model and hero to many of us here, and to many, many other people.

    I am looking forard to seeing where you and Tony take your dreams! You know we'll buy t-shirts!

    Be well. Have great races. Enjoy the day. (((Denise, Tony, Spencer)))

    love, Lise

    Hi Lise (waves in the general direction of Chicago from AZ)

    Thanks again for your kind words. I am moving forward with my business. Will tell you the name as soon as I get the trademark application in for processing and can "claim" it. I went to a party at a neighbors house over the weekend and found my website designer. He works at Go Daddy and does web design on the side. Also found out that running sons best friends mom has a degree in graphic design! YES!!! I need help in that dept. and she agreed to help me.
    She is in the process of starting her own business, and I have a lot of experience in marketing, so we are going to help each other.
    That party was quite lucrative!

    Oh, and just on a lark I decided to put our summer pics together on a dvd to send to the granparents. It shows the GOOD of this summer. I posted it on VEOH.
    Check it out

    ARGH! My stupid job won't let me watch videos on the internet when they're paying me to work! Site blocked. I'll have to watch it from home. I am excited about your business, and looking forward to patronizing it!

    Wow Denise -

    I am so glad things turned out okay. And I do know the whole sense of perspective that comes with a "close call" - it can really be so refreshing and give you a chance to shift the focus of things, be it work, whatever. I am glad you turned this into a positive.

    Big hug to you!!
