Blog Posts
Hello. My name is Wendy and I’m a recovering workaholic. I'm also a brain tumor/cancer survivor.
The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences, memories, resources, and self-discoveries as I continue to transform from a workaholic into a more balanced person. I have read several books and stories about others who have had similar experiences (see the suggested reading page) and each has helped me to get to the place of acceptance of my new normal. My ultimate goal is that by sharing my journey someone else will be helped as well. My vision is that this site will serve as a landing space where people come for information and inspiration.
Please feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions at: wendy.2ndchance2live@gmail.com
