In Feburary 2010, at 44 years young, in the prime of my life and just after completing my first marathon, my life turned upside down.

Cancer.

Stage Four.

Shit.

“Living in the window” is a saying we have created to describe our lives between scans – our bright spots, in between the periodic check points, the chemo, the radiation, the traveling to other cities for treatment, the prescriptions, the paperwork, the lost time in CVS, the exhaustion, and the tears.

Looking “in the window” you’ll find our a-ha moments, our places of respite and recharge, our stories of love and adventure, soccer teams and late night shows.  That time “in the window” is our time to connect with those we love, when we have the energy, and can carve out the time, and just live, carefree, even if just for a moment.

Sometimes the space is defined by good news – which makes that slice of time is a celebration, sometimes it’s another challenge ahead. Either way, we try to keep our gaze forward, living a little bit BIGGER and BRIGHTER each day, and focusing on the stuff that really matters.

Stop in, see what were up to, discover some new music, connect with our resources, catch up on my treatment, follow our adventures and be INSPIRED  as we continue “LIVING IN THE WINDOW”
