Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge Day 26 #HAWMC
Day 26 of the WEGO Health Activist Writer’s Month which I have signed up for – a month dedicated to the art of writing about health. Today’s writing prompt:
Health tagline. Give yourself, your blog, your condition, or some aspect of your health a tagline. Make sure it’s catchy!
Here’s one I made earlier…
making sense of the breast cancer experience
In my search to make sense of the experience of cancer and integrate it into my life, I started Journeying Beyond Breast Cancer with this tagline. Over three years later, and I am still trying to make sense of it..either I’m a slow learner or cancer is one of those things that takes a lifetime to make sense of…if ever!
I just realized that my blog tagline which has been on the blog since the start, disappeared when I put up a new header. Maybe it’s time to reinstate it!
The site is great either way so go with your gut, which is another classic tip from you!

Hey, you’re ahead of me, Marie. I am not sure what a blog tagline is, where to insert it, and what internet surfers will see when you put up a tag and what you or they have to do so they will see the tag. Maybe I can learn from you sometime if you ever get the time.

That tagline fits your blog perfectly, Marie. You really should reinstate it. We benefit from this writing challenge by ways unforeseen, don’t we?

Hi Marie,
So, I posted something this morning here…but alais, it disappeared. I will try again.
I remember your tag line from when I first discovered your blog. Your tag line brought comfort to me, when I felt my world was off balanced. I, do agree with you though…no matter how long we have walked the cancer journey–it does not make any sense–and I don’t think it ever will.
For me two taglines come to mind:
From my Hope Lives Now blog site: Cancer is a journey noone should walk alone!
For me personally: Cancer is part of my life story, but NOT my life!
Hope your day is a good one!

I am touched you remembered the tagline from my first days of blogging Kim x I love your taglines, esp the second one – important not to let ourselves be defined by cancer – we are so much more!

Your tagline is perfect! My upcomin book’s tagline is: Be prepared. Be organized. But my favorite is how I end it: I had breast cancer;breast cancer didn’t have me. That was curteous of a fellow survivior Susan Block.

Good point.
I will be spending time focusing on nurse’s in May to honor the profession. Do you have a story to share about how a nurse impacted your treatment? If so would you consider a guest post on The Authentic Me?

I don’t have many positive stories about my treatment, sorry to say..but I am happy to put a call out for you to those who do?

Ours is “For everything else you’re going through with cancer”, which I feel takes on the perspective that cancer resonates in all areas of our lives, and can stretch out far beyond diagnosis and treatment.
