Being in advertising and marketing for so many years, I just couldn’t have an ordinary blog title! I spent a lot of time researching blogs and their titles, to create a title that really meant something to me, and that was a little ‘catchy,’ so to speak, something my Daddy would have liked. As most of you know, my reason for even starting a blog is due to the sudden news that I could very well be a cancer patient. No need to go into the details, you all ready know them by now. The purpose was to create a place where information could be gotten quickly, and quite frankly…so I didn’t have to talk about this day in and day out! I found titles like; “I’m to Sexy to lose my Hair, Beth’s Breast Cancer Blog, Adventuress Cancer Girl, Cancer Sucks!. The Unwanted Journey,..I could go on. None so appealing to me. I hear attitude it the answer! So my thought is something positive, uplifting, of course me!
CROSS (the 1st syllable of the word “crossing”)
What is first and foremost for me? My faith. The “cross” is a symbol of my faith, and it is a symbol of God’s blessing. I live by faith. Another definition for “cross” is a sign or mark (X) made of two straight lines that bisect each other, used to mark or “cancel” something. I like the idea of "canceling" the cancer. Lastly, it can mean something that goes against, or that annoys or frustrates…I like the idea of going against what cancer wants and I want to annoy the cancer, instead of it getting the best of me.
I am “crossing cancer” in every way that I can. Thank you all for you prayers and kind thoughts.

Crossing is also a term used to refer to combat (as in "Crossing swords"). Crossing your faith and strength against the affliction seems a fair statement of the moment. Crossing also fits as with passage through a barrier or difficulty (as in "crossing the river"). It is a fitting idea you have chosen, and one that we know will see you through. Know that many are holding you in their thoughts and prayers, sure that you will indeed cross this moment, this time.
