I looked at my blog recently, and came to a realization. My worst fears had come true; Cancer Trish was quickly becoming a distant memory, and I hadn’t done any writing in ages.

If you want to look at the “upside” of cancer, it’s that you develop an acute awareness of spending your time wisely, and doing what you want to do. I began writing about my cancer experience, and realized that was my calling. I named my blog “View from Upside Down / Living Up To Second Chances”. I realized that despite all my blessings – full recovery from breast cancer, and a healthy, happy miracle baby – I wasn’t doing what made me happy. I’d returned to work, and was miserably part of the rat race. Was I living up to my second chance?

 

So, I’m beyond happy to say that today I resigned from my position at Bose. To say that I’ve grown up at Bose is an understatement. In my 6.5 years here, I got engaged, married, bought a house, got pregnant, had a baby girl, was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer, had reconstructive surgery, got pregnant and had a baby boy. I’ve learned so much, and have made so many friends here… but now it’s time to go. And with every cell in my body (genetically mutated and non), I know I’m doing the right thing.
