Fran really got me thinking about formaldehyde when she ran the article about Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Shampoo.

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.

My dear friends,

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! 

As I continue the next step of my journey, I hope you will continue along with me and tune in!  Here's a little sneak peak!  Cheers to taking care of yourself, flying without a net and embarking on exciting new adventures!

Be well,
Fran xo
