Tumor Diary

Yeah it’s an interesting name, no doubt. 🙂

I was looking at Brian’s weblog, and saw a link to this series of articles from the BBC about a man and his battle with brain cancer. Pretty interesting stuff and it definitely fits the overall idea of linking to sites by and about people overcoming their setbacks, whether it be child abuse, mental illness, cancer or other disabilities.

Speaking of which, in going through the blogroll today I’ve noticed some of these have either stopped blogging, or are lost to the ether for some unknown reason. I need to find some more blogs to link to. Any suggestions?

Simply put, it is never acceptable that…

It’s OK to Just Enjoy Something For Yourself

I came upon this idea later in life than some of you may have. Thanks to an abusive childhood and a fairly demanding church involvement in my teens and twenties, I was about 30 when I finally gave myself the freedom to take on a hobby just because I enjoyed it.

For me, I grew up never feeling good enough or worthy. I needed someone else to tell me it was OK for me to do something, or heaven forbid to spend money on something just because I liked it.

Sugar Ray Leonard and Reacting to Survivors

I was listening to the latest BS Report podcast on ESPN today, an interview done by Bill Simmons with Sugar Ray Leonard. I was aware that Ray openly discusses the sexual abuse he suffered as a child in his recent autobiography, but I hardly expected that to be a major portion of the interview. If…

In my quest to try every new piece of social media tech that exists, (that might be a bit of hyperbole, but not by much!) I have penned a piece with some career advice called The Appreciation File over on LinkedIn. It did not escape my notice, however, that this same bit of helpful advice…
