A New Chapter in my Life

I just recently finished my memoir Tales from the Teal Warrior and it is an e-book available at amazon.com
It is about my battle with hereditary ovarian cancer, (yeah, turns out the women in my family carry the brca gene mutation) and also my husbands battle with myeloproliferative disease. The last few years have been crazy. All kinds of ups and downs.
 But I am still here and still fighting...

Wildflowers by Dolly Parton

The hills were alive with wildflowers
And I was as wild, even wilder than they
For at least I could run, they just died in the sun
And I refused to just wither in place

Just a wild mountain rose, needing freedom to grow
So I ran fearing not where I'd go
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow

And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were common and close, I had no room for growth
I wanted so much to branch out

I uprooted myself from home ground and left
Took my dreams and I took to the road
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow

I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right
In a garden so different from me
I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone
So the garden, one day, set me free

Hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend
I just let him decide where we'd go
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers don't care where they grow


In memory of my beloved baby sister.
