Alison’s Bio
At age 34, I was diagnosed with stage 1B breast cancer. I am trying to learn to live one day at a time and am using this journey to help me find inner peace. I am married to a wonderful guy. I have friends who are like family and family who are like friends. I have a big goofy lab named Tiggy who keeps me laughing. I like spending time near coastal areas and being creative. I hope to do more of that in the future. I am really lucky. Wishing everyone health, peace, love and happiness. Love, AlRSS

Channeling Sinead O’Conner
Bye bye buzz cut, I’ll see you later. Round 2 with the clippers last night left me channeling Sinead O’Conner. The look is more severe than the buzz cut. Jim surprised me by cutting a nice mohawk first (I probably … Continue reading

Buzz Cut!
I never thought I would ask Jim to buzz all my hair off, but last night I decided that I’d take the bull by the horns and cut it, rather than let it fall out in clumps. I shed a … Continue reading
