About Me

My name is Cathy Lea. There is no last name. I have seen my share of fun and not-so-fun parts of life and decided I didn't need a last name anymore. If Cher can get away with it so can I!

I am a breast cancer survivor and have information that I will be happy to share with anyone who is interested. You can also contact me if you want more personal information. I am happy to share this part of my life as I hope to be an inspiration for others who are fighting the disease. I am cancer free for the second time in my life and hope to stay that way.

I love to cook. In addition to the recipes I collect through the Internet, I do create quite a few dishes myself. Check out my growing list of recipes and custom creations. I am currently creating recipes that can be cooked with fewer ingredients and without an oven. This style of cooking is necessary when you travel in a 21 foot camper van.

My Thoughts

The big topic of conversation at work on New Year's eve was "what are you doing to celebrate tonight?" Why is one night of the year more important than all the others? Doesn't each day bring a chance to put away the regrets and mistakes of the past and start over again with a clean slate and new plans for the future? The old saying "today is the first day of the rest of your life" applies to each day, not just one day each year.

Some people appear to put a lot of time and effort into thinking up resolutions for each new year. Sometimes the resolutions are new, but many of them are the recycled from last year. What happened to those resolutions made last year?

Maybe this year it would be good to look at every day as the start of a new year complete with all of the unfinished resolutions carried over from the previous year. With all of the renewed effort in those resolutions every day, maybe we might have a better chance to accomplish them.

Nobody really knows when they will die, so why not focus on the small things we can improve today?
