CHARLAVAN
GETTING ACQUAINTED...........its all about me


Thanks! And welcome to my site.  Don't be afraid.  I am not selling anything.
I just wanted us to meet and tell you about what's going on in my world because some of them might interest you too.  My days are filled with writing but I write about what I KNOW.
(It is easier than research.)
I spent several years as a model, that launched a whole career in image consulting.  Then after breast cancer, it became a valuable niche for helping the victims regain their image.  It also made it easier to solve some of the problems you end up with after a mastectomy.  (I had all the scars tattooed with flowers and butterflies and I could do that because I started all of this as an artist.)
It all works!


I also write a weekly news column.  It keeps me out of the pool halls.  It also serves to protect those I love because if I didn't have that vent mechanism I would dump these trivial things on those guys.  I post them often on charlavan.blogspot. 
They will be part of the next book I write. 
People tell me I am funny but they mean 'funny-ha-ha", not "funny strange".  Work with me on this.

My Other books::

CHARLAVAN'S COLOR BOOK

COLOR DOLLARS AND SENSE

MOM'S COOK BOOK


Those are all out of print now so I honor my promise of not trying to sell you anything.
When I started to write a blog, the only credible advice was "write what you are passionate about and KNOW. "
What I know is breast cancer.  I have been there, done that and learned a few things that I wanted to share.
Anyone can research what the medical field knows.  But only someone who has been there can tell you what it is really like.
At tittatts you will learn what I know and what several others have shared because they too have lived through it and have help to offer.


You will want to check out the Course from the Source at the .tittatts. One woman out of each eight is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer so if you or one of your loved ones has this disease, this course will be of great help to them.  It is a diary or journal that lets them record their journey while they are in recovery.
This same booklet leads them through the process of writing their own life story.  It keeps them focused on getting well and concentrating on LIFE AFTER breast cancer, rather than all those treatments.  It is very healing and hopeful.
