Descriptive DaysPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on March 8, 2013
My original oncologist moved to New Orleans about three fourths of the way through my treatment. I stayed with her partner, because frankly I was too tired, and depressed to go through the switch. I decided a while ago that we didn’t really click, and so today I made the jump. I went through all [...]
My First Fundraiser!!!!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on February 11, 2013
I am sponsoring my very first fund raiser and I could not be more excited. I am moderator for a club at my school that helps kids with cancer, and we are raising money for a very dear family. I would like to raise as much money as possible for this family. Here is a [...]
Falling Rocks! Watch Out!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on January 19, 2013
Change doesn’t come easily. Growth is even more difficult. Forced change can be a blessing, but it still doesn’t come easy. I have spent much of my life, not sure in which direction to move, and not sure that the movement chosen would result in the happiness of the people I was trying to please. [...]
Time Really does Heal!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on January 13, 2013
My ex-husband moved out one year and seven days ago. I must admit, the first eight months were awful. I was ready for the divorce. I was happy that he finally moved out, because it is hard living with someone when you know divorce is looming. However, I didn’t know what to do with myself [...]
Plans Be Damned!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on January 1, 2013
Life doesn’t often go as we plan. This is a hard lesson to learn, and fortunately for the lucky few, plans go unaltered. However, I have learned in the past year (or two) that plans can fall apart. I have also learned that when they fall apart as they inevitably do, there you still stand [...]
Tooting your Own Horn?!?Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on December 21, 2012
Lately, it seems to have become popular to post your own random act of kindness on Facebook. Lately I have been reading all these posts people put up about the kindness’ they have done for others. For some reason, it curdles my blood. To me it is the epitome of tooting your own horn, in [...]
2013 Yoga Anyone?Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on December 19, 2012
During the year 2011, I fought breast cancer. Of course, I was diagnosed in 2010, and I continued treatment into 2012, but basically the hardest part of my battle took place in 2011. During the year 2012 I adjusted to being divorced. My husband moved out at the beginning of 2012, and our divorce was [...]
HUGS BAGS!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on December 2, 2012
They are here! Just in time for Christmas!!!! These Hugs bags were made in Cambodia by women rescued from the sex trade. Most of the proceeds will return to the organization that rescues and trains these women in a trade once they are rescued. The lining of each bag is made with the Hugs Logo, [...]
You Can Walk Straight through Hell with A Smile!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 21, 2012
Today I found out, from my daughter, that my kids are spending Thanksgiving with my ex husband, his new girlfriend and her parents. I am surprisingly o.k. On the initial hear, I thought, oh no, am I going to break down? You know what, I didn’t. I feel o.k. Of course I did Google her [...]
Nothing I could have done!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 17, 2012
For months during my divorce, I asked the question; What did I do? How could I have changed? How could I have been different? How could I have changed this outcome? I even had, well meaning family members, help me explore all the things about myself that may have contributed to the divorce. You know [...]
