Today is National Cancer Survivors day June 7, 2026. It’s a time to celebrate life and cancer survivorship.

It’s also a day to thank all the caregivers, medical professionals, and cancer researchers who helped make our survival possible.

At the age of 47, I was diagnosed with multi node positive breast cancer. With the help of networking and the amazing , I was referred to the amazing  where I joined a clinical trial.

My successful treatment allowed me to enjoy the marriage of my three children, birth of 9 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and create beautiful jewelry.

I continue to support the Duke Cancer Institute and the work they do to care for patients and research the next best treatment.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, I hold an annual pearl fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research.

You might find this funny, but I find baking bread relaxing and zen like.

The sun is shining and I’m enjoying some quiet time before breakfast. I’ve got two loaves of sourdough bread started so we have enough bread for the week.

Once the dough is in the refrigerator proofing, I can turn back to a jewelry order I need to finish.

What do you like doing early on a Saturday morning? Please give me more ideas in comments.

As a creative who makes silver and gold jewelry, I also love to bake sourdough bread.

Jewelers are tactile beings, so it makes sense to love the feel of the soft fluffy dough

Have you ever baked sourdough bread? If so what do you love about it? Is it the taste, digestibility, or the zen of working with the dough?

Let’s start a conversation. Let me know what you think in comments.

There’s nothing better than helping a client find the perfect jewelry gift for themselves.

As women, we often put ourselves last after work and family. May is a good month to treat yourself to a jewelry piece you’ve been wanting.

What jewelry item do you like to purchase for yourself? This woman was looking at rectangular bar pearl earrings which are perfect for wearing day into night.

Please share with me what you like to buy yourself because you are worth it.

First look at a new narrow leaf charm. Perfect for everyday wear and layering.

24 k gold powder was used instead of my usual keum boo.

Reach out to me if you’d like more info about this piece.

Celebrate the women who have inspired you. Who has inspired you in your life?

I was raised by a strong woman. When I was 10 years old, my mom took over owning and running a restaurant without any prior experience. Yes, there’s a crazy back story. She learned on the job and created a restaurant that served great food. I learned from her to be a strong woman. I didn’t know how strong I was until I was faced with breast cancer.

I raised three children to appreciate and support strong women. My daughter is a strong, capable, talented ADHD coach. My two sons each married strong capable women. My three girls inspire me. They will each make a difference in our world from education to medicine and legal recruiting. I admire them all.

I hope we are setting a good example for my granddaughters that they can become whatever they want.

Tell me in comments about the women who inspire you.

Today, I got to see my cousin play in the round one game of the NCAA D III tournament.

What an exciting game!

Watching Susquehanna play Goucher at Goucher tonight. My cousin is #23. Great catching up with his father at the game. Go hawks.

Progress on my east west chrysoprase ring.

I set a January goal to fabricate a number of gemstone rings with inset bands. I haven’t made any rings like this is many years. ( probably pre Covid was the last one).

I decided it was time to finally set some of the stones I’ve purchased over the years.

I believe in lifelong learning so I’ll keep working on these gemstone rings while improving my skills.

Do you consider yourself a lifelong learner? What skill are you working on? Let me know in comments
