Our busy lives can make it hard to keep up with loved ones and friends. Make time today to pick up the phone and check on a buddy. You never know the positive impact one call can make.

Cancer will likely touch every life in America in some way or form. Even if we ourselves never get cancer it is likely that someone we know will. When it's a colleague whom we may interact with frequently but maybe only ever see at work that can make responding to such news even more difficult: so here is an article from AARP which may help shed a little light in that darkness.

It's difficult to know what to say or do for a friend or family member who has a terminal illness. Experts suggest that you don’t say, “It’s going to be OK.” Make it clear you are there for them, try to create a semblance of normalcy, ask how they are feeling today, and be a good listener.

For Seyward McKinney, the journey from riding in military vehicles to riding horses was one fraught with adventure.

Joining the Army was a calling, something McKinney realized she needed to do from the moment she took a school trip to New York City. She was active in school groups and found herself in New York prior to the events of 9/11. She was able to go back after 2001.

“I’ve been in both buildings after and there was dirt and stuff on the ground. They said it was ashes of people. Because of that, I wanted to join the Army,” she said.

As a surgical technician, Seyward found herself in Iraq for eight months, working on patients—both American and Iraqi.

“It was a great experience and I got to do things I normally wouldn’t get to do. We were preparing to take out someone’s appendix and the doctor said, ‘Are you ready?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, here’s the knife’ and he hands it back to me and lets me do the surgery while he assisted,” she recalled.
