30,000 And Counting
I woke up to a surprise this morning. It should not have caught me off guard as I knew it was coming. But there is something surreal about actually having achieved this number.
Paul’s Heart hit over 30,000 views last night following the last post, “When A Door Opens…”.
I sit here humbled.
I started Paul’s Heart with the goal of trying to reach cancer survivors to supply information and advocate for care. Eventually I included issues concerning my life as a survivor and the many issues I face including health, financial, and relationship. I discussed the many challenges of parenthood from a survivor’s perspective. And now, I must also include facing divorce for the second time.
But here are the numbers since I started Paul’s Heart:
5 publications in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center annual Anthology
1 live performance from the above mentioned anthology
several newsletter articles published for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
too many cancer survivor speeches to count
565 posts on Paul’s Heart with another 300 drafts started
40 pages (most popular posts saved as a page for convenience)
2 books in the beginning stages
But perhaps the biggest and most important numbers are as follows:
26 years cancer free of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
2 beautiful adopted little girls that at one time I thought parenthood was impossible
To all of my readers and followers, I am far from finished. Thank you for reading. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for your support.
