After way too much thinking about it, I've started a blog. I guess it's the perfectionist side of me that won't ever let me just dive in and go for it.
So here I am and a little introduction is in order. My name is Lori and I'm married to a gorgeous Italian man named Eddie. We will be celebrating our 26th anniversary this summer which we both find very hard to believe because we just can't be that old. We have 3 beautiful children. Jessica is 13, Cory is 10 and Olivia is 3. They give me PLENTY to write about! We were married 12 years before God blessed us with the gift of Jessica.
I have been a 5th and 6th grade teacher and an administrator. When it was time for my kids to go to school I decided to try my hand at homeschooling. It has been an incredible blessing as well as very challenging. Overall, on most days, I wouldn't trade it for the world. We love being together and learning together.
Cancer was an unwelcome intruder that became a part of my life 2 years ago. I have made it through a lot of surgeries and treatments. I have so much to say about the past months that it will be a main topic on my blog.
Blessings to you and… here we go…
Congratulations, Lori. And welcome to the "blog-o-sphere." I think you'll get hooked quite quickly. I can't wait to see the fulfillment of your destiny as it plays out over the next season.
Thanks, Ron… on so many levels!!
Welcome Lori – I'm a friend of RG's here, and any recommendation/praise from him is treasured in my little corner of the world…. so here I am!
Welcome… and I'm glad you're here.
Yes Welcome to Vox Lori! I have not blogged in some months, but I saw this little suggestion from your cousin/brother in my email box and of course had to see what all this was about, lol. After reading your intro I would be proud if you add me as a neighbor, I may not write much myself on Vox right now, (I got myself addicted to facebook), but I still read and comment from time to time and having had cancer myself will be looking forward to reading your thoughts and entries. Wishing you all the best and adding you to my prayers and neighborhood, we are all sisters those of us who share in your journey. God Bless!
Thanks for joining me on this journey, Patti. Loved your comment and yes there is definite connection with other cancer survivors.
Good for you, Lori. And good for us, your readers too! Thank you for sharing. I'm a friend and fan of RG and his beautiful wife, Cheri. God bless you!!
Carol, I am so glad you found me again as I have moved and restructured my blog a bit. I totally woke up today thinking, “Carol would want to read this.” Seriously. Hah!
Welcome! And I am so encouraged!
Hi Lori, I'm good friends with RG & Cheri too. I also home-schooled as did my daughter. I already sense a sweet spirit in you and am looking forward to reading your blog. Blessings!
Welcome to Vox, Lori. I got your link from RG and am glad to see you here. I look forward to reading more about you – it sounds like you have an amazing set of stories to tell.

A guy named RG pointed me in this direction. Welcome to the neighborhood, Lori!
