September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month!

Darlings,

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness month and as I just celebrated my 11th year of wellness from uterine cancer, this month is especially important as Cancer Schmancer continues its work toward saving lives through prevention and early detection.

BLOG: Mountains, Molehills, & Mammograms

Over the last 10 years, as I journeyed through my thirties, so many ‘marvelous’ things have happened. Grey hair, my metabolism changing from ‘not so great to begin with’ to ‘that of a bag of rocks’, the constant, and I mean constant, ticking of my biological clock (if you listen closely you can probably hear it right now) and now that I have turned 40- my first mammogram.

I'm BAAAACK!

My dear friends,

I'm jumping out of my shoes and ya want to know why?!  June 15th, I'm back on TV, baby! I will be starring in a new TV Land sitcom called "Happily Divorced" which is inspired by my true story, but not your classic love tale!

Be well,
Fran xo
