Choosing to Smile is a world-wide movement for people who have faced any kind of adversity and have chosen to smile in the face of it. The movement evolved from the book ‘Choosing to Smile’ which was written by three friends, Glenda, Julie and Michelle, who just happened to have cancer.

We were on Global TV this morning doing a five minute interview about our book 'Choosing to Smile' and it made me appreciate just how good those TV interviewers are! In five minutes she managed to talk to the three of us and make each of us feel that we were integral parts of the interview. Five minutes went by so fast and there was so much more we wanted to say but that can wait for our longer sessions! I especially want to thank all the viewers who have already gone online to order our book and send us emails to share their 'Choosing to Smile' stories with us. There are so many amazing people in this world who have lived through some pretty tough times but still find it in them at the beginning of a new day to smile... I love the resilience of the human spirit. It always inspires me!
So, we're doing a few radio interviews this week - CiTR tomorrow which should be fun - the thing I like about doing radio interviews is I can be in my pyjamas and be sipping my morning cuppa Tim Horton's coffee and feel like I'm just 'shmoozing' with my good friends on the phone... I like that! Mel Majoras from the Cancer Warrior program will be taping our radio interview later in the day - I have a hunch we'll be getting down to some nitty gritty stuff with her. I'll keep everyone in the loop as to when it will be on the air... Friday Julie and I will be chatting with Lynn Lane - Voices of Survivors - and I know for sure he's going to have us laughing and pulling out all the stops in his podcast... Yikes, that means no pyjamas with Lynn!
Sorry I've not been more 'faithful' in writing on my blog - I just get carried away with other things and put it on the back burner... speaking of 'back burners' I do believe supper is ready!
