Hi JoAnna,
It’s Lisa. Do you remember me? I wrote a lot about my recovery in criesofanunkemptgarden? I started a new blog, and am still learning to navigate around in here. I had a battle with breast cancer I am 3 months post double mastectomy. I am getting stronger, and recovering well. So I am mountain biking again, and now writing. I wanted a platform that I was not stuck in one certain niche. So this where I am beginning. Yes again, hope you are well. I look forward to reading your work. God bless ❤️
July 15, 2020 at 7:53 pm
I do remember you, Lisa. Thank you so much for reaching out. Mountain biking three months after major surgery is amazing and wonderful. I’m looking forward to visiting your new blog! God bless and take care! ❤
