Here is a place for social chats with special attention to support and non medical discussions. We need a place to chill out, where we can distract from our pain and enjoy lighter moments, share a joke or funny moment with others.

writing/ healing/communication

Post by Cora »

I don't know if this is where to post this, and I hesitated.. .but hey... I love to write and it's been so long since I've done any on a regular basis. I had a really thoughtful back and forth with Charlie, NYT, and ezer the other day... and it made me re-think my blog that I started a few weeks ago. So, on that note, I wanted to share today's post and I hope you'll check in now and then.
