The future of Shadesofinsight.com
May 22 2026
Hello friends,
I have a quick ask for you.
As my posts about cancer treatment and recovery have started to lessen, thanks to the grace of God and the miracle of modern medicine, I’ve been wondering about the future of this blog.
Many of you originally joined me here for medical updates, and I never want these posts to become just another notification or piece of clutter filling your inbox. Time is precious, and I want to be respectful of yours.
At the same time, this space has evolved into something I never quite expected. I’ve found that I genuinely enjoy writing, not just about recovery, but about life, family, service, reflection, and the random thoughts that drift through my mind during quiet mornings or long drives.
So I wanted to ask you directly: Would you like me to continue sharing those kinds of non-cancer-related posts here, or would you prefer I create a separate blog for them?
Please leave your thoughts in the comments, or feel free to reach out by phone, text, or email.
Most of all, thank you. Thank you for walking beside me through the last chapter of my life and recovery. Your encouragement, kindness, prayers, and presence have meant more than I can properly express.
This blog became something far bigger and more meaningful than I ever imagined, and that’s because of all of you.
As the shade of your cancer passes over, by the grace of God and modern medicine… your insights and thoughts on other subjects are just as valuable as those you shared with us about you struggles and experiences.
You have tapped into a new skill and there are many of us who have enjoyed reading your personal perspectives. Thank you for sharing so much. Thank you for all you do and don’t stop writing just because it no longer aligns with your original intent. You have passed through one of life’s most difficult experiences and emerged with new skill… use it.
I totally admire your bravery sharing your toughest challenges with us, and very thankful for sharing your life, thoughts, observations, and views. You have a such a wonderful talent of writing, reaching our (at least me) inner selves through your experiences. If you are okay with it, please continue your blog, and let some of us continue to inspired by.
