Gazing at my haggard visage in the bedroom mirror that morning in 1991, I didn’t know which was worse—the way I felt or the way I looked.
In a sense they were one and the same, each a reflection of the other. I had just undergone a punishing round of chemotherapy following a double mastectomy for breast cancer, and doctors had warned me that I would probably have to undergo a second round.
I looked decades older than my 33 years. My skin sagged and my face was ashen. Dark circles shadowed my sunken eyes.

Kicked the Habit
Monday, November 10th, 2008
Accompanied by my four-year-old son, Eric, I was on my way to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Bead by Bead

One of my favorite gifts to give is a beaded angel pin made in South Africa by Zulu tribespeople. There’s a story behind these colorful pins.
Jeremy Sutton ran a business that brought traditional Zulu handcrafts to a worldwide market. On a trip to purchase the crafts in the remote Kwa-Zulu Natal region, he was robbed and killed. His family understood that extreme poverty was partly to blame for his tragic death.
