OJ crises can be avoided with barcodes
Several times each year, the nation faces a widespread, food borne illness crisis. But there’s an easy, cheap tech... Continue reading
“May I Suggest” (one of my favorite songs) to you that we all be grateful for our lives. I spent the morning with a woman who radiates light. She radiates light because she feels lucky and blessed, despite the fact that the breast cancer that she did everything to beat 8 years ago… is back.
Missy Stein of “What’s up with Missy” on 1340 WHAT told her audience today that for 8 years she has been a breast cancer “survivor”, now she is a breast cancer “patient”.
Missy says they called a family meeting, everyone very curious– one child jokingly said– “What, do you have cancer?”.. The good news is- she was able to tell her five children “I will not die form this, I’m going to be fine.”
She will LIVE, because she caught it early. For the next seven weeks she will undergo radiation and instead of crawling up in a ball and cursing God, she is sharing her experience, in hopes of saving lives and empowering women.
Missy wants to send a message: know your body, know what’s normal… and don’t take “no” for an answer when you’re told you’re fine… if YOU know that you’re not. Missy hopes to demystify this so she will be talking about it on her show and sharing her story with us at NBC10.
I’m honored and blessed to be able to witness this woman take on this challenge. When I left the shoot this morning, I told the photographer that all words I can think of for Missy.. Inspiring, brave, strong… all fall short.
Look for her updates as she documents the journey on NBC10.

It is all true. I have the privilege of working with Missy everyday and she is an inspiration to us all at AM 1340 WHAT. Besides that, everyone should have a “Yiddishe Momme.”
#Missy truly is an inspiration. When you are in her company you can’t help but feel blessed, inspired, uplifted, motivated, etc. She is always so upbeat and gives you that feeling of empowerment.
#My prayers are w/ you. This summer marks my 4th year of survivorship but the thought never leaves my mind. I’m forever checking and rechecking. It’s up there on my daily to do list just like flossing my teeth.
#One year ago today at 6:00am I began 12 hours of delicate quadruple by-pass surgery on 5 severe blockages complicated by calcified arteries and blood vessels that bled with each stitch requiring at least 4 blood transfusions. I would remain unconscious for 36 hours regaining consciousness around 6:00pm Wednesday night. THANK YOU Dr. Wechsler for your skill, dedication, and patience. You have extended my life.
Regardless of religious background, all the surgeons, doctors, and nurses at Hahnemann Hospital who had contact with me recognized that I was a miracle. I should have died years ago. I could have died during the surgery and near hypothermia because of the prolonged exposure to the cold during the surgery. And yet I was being sustained by a higher power that transcended the skill of any surgeon – and they all recognized that.
And the miracle is still within me touching other people with serious health issues.
You may want to share this with others because someone out there needs HOPE.
God is still alive and well! Miracles still happen! I am living proof!
