In June of 2005 after a mountain of tests (that I never even considered would be a problem), I received a phone call while driving to lunch. The nurse asked if I had time to talk to the doctor. I would learn this is never a good thing. The doctor got on the phone and said "I really hate making these calls, but I have to tell you that you have cancer." Take a moment and soak that in. I pulled over. He went on to tell me about my cancer, which happened to be the exact kind that Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist was dying of at the time. He told me I needed to meet a surgeon the next week and so it began.
In so many ways I am not the same person I was prior to diagnosis. Since my 32nd birthday I've had 2 surgeries and 2 large doses of radiation. Read more ...

As a kid growing up, I loved solving picture puzzles (i.e. Where’s Waldo). The objective was to find all the hidden items listed in the scene. Sometimes I had to look extremely hard. I would change the angle of the picture by turning it upside down, diagonal, and sideways. Other times, I would close my eyes and try again later. I discovered when I viewed the puzzle from another angle I had a different, and more diverse, perspective.
The importance of diversity is unparalleled. Diversity can be a medium for social change and allow one to develop culturally and socially. When we are able to encompass a broader perspective, we are well on our way to becoming global citizens, who happen to hail from the west. Read more ...
