Lisa Ann Bonfiglio2010 has already started to be one of those years that has un-defined true meaning.
As a cancer survivor, I can say with full conviction, Cancer changes your life in many ways. It does not matter what form of cancer you have, the very words of being diagnosed has an impact that only people with cancer experience.
I was blessed to be able to watch The Last Lecture by Randy Pauch. I must say, Diane Sawyer from Good Morning America did a fabulous job when she interviewed Randy. That was an interview that became, family TV time, as did her follow up interview. You can read her interview here.
He and his wife, Jai, showed those of us with cancer the true meaning of paying it forward, as they so un-selfishly shared their journey which truly was a journey of remarkable courage.
Randy once said, "When there’s an elephant in the room introduce him". You can find more quotes from Randy along with numerous videos here.
Today, I want to share a very dear friend of mines journey with this wonderful elephant. Lisa, you may remember, was one of Ria's Pay it Forward Recipients. You can view the post here.
With vibrant contagiousness, Lisa shares her elephant with all that will listen with the hope to touch just one person's life. Although Lisa and I live miles apart, she still to this day shares hope when days are just a little gloomy.
I encourage both men and women to visit Lisa's blog which you can find here. You might be wondering why I say both men and women. Cancer has no bounderies and it touches the lives of men, women, and children. So, why not visit Lisa as she shares so un-selfishly with all of us. While you are there, let her know you stopped by. I know you will make her day.
