I’m back …. or at least as much as I can be. A day at a time is how I am living my life right now. So even though I want to be back full force there will be weeks I will be here sharing and weeks I won’t … even though I may want to be.
For those of my readers who might not be aware my life took an abrupt turn on October 7 of last year when at the end of my work day I felt a small pull and twinge under my right arm as I reached across my desk. After checking I found a small lump deep down in my arm pit.
Two days later I was diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes and life has not been the same since.
What a journey this has been. Days filled with doctor appointments, tests, chemo treatments, surgery and more pokes and pricks than I have had in my previous lifetime.
A time of love and self discovery. A time of drawing closer to God and learning what it truly means to rely on him for my strength each day.
A time of feeling the love and support of friends and family.
If you are interested you can follow my journey HERE.
So while I still have a bit more of my journey ahead of me with radiation treatments , I have received a good pathology report and I am itching to get back to blogging! I have missed the satisfaction of creating special things and designing beautiful spaces and sharing with each of you.
My hope is to once again be joining my friends at the Thursday Favorite Things Link Party each week, sharing a few DIY projects and popping in with a recipe and other fun things along the way.
To those of you who have followed my journey and offered your support I want to say a big thank you!

Hi Debi, we don’t know each other yet. I am a new follower at Katherine’s Corner, so thought I would say hi. I’m so sorry about the cancer, but glad to know you are recovering. Hope all will continue to run smoothly for you, and each succeeding checkup is free! I’m kinda new to blogland too, but liking it so far. Wishing you being back to normal and in God’s hands at every step. Florence
