Introduction Welcome to the blog of Dr. Jill Balboni. (It took a lot of work to earn that title!) This blog is my very personal account of life as I know it, or rather how to live life each day in celebration, despite what the world has tossed you way. For me,this means getting up every morning and coping with the challenges of cystic fibrosis,a double lung transplant, diabetes, kidney transplant, etc. These are not complaints, but rather components. It is all a matter of framing! It's about my family, my friends, my dog, and random musings that strike me alng the way! We are all saddled with our own "stuff," let me help you make sense of it, organize it and integrate it into your life. There is so much to learn. I know that I am not the expert in everything, but I probably have a strategy to finding the solution to your problem, the answer to your question, or I know where to go to get help. Just what the doctor ordered!
Interests Scrabble, reading and writing, learning and teaching, my family, inspiring, public speaking, people watching, listening (when I can hear), not the same thing, bargain shopping, collecting shoes!
Favorite Movies Forest Gump, Big, Steel Magnolias, Beaches
Favorite Music BARRY MANILOW FOREVER!
Favorite Books Mysteries and thrillers, Law and Policy texts, Organ Transplantation literature, books on people overcoming challenges and living to tell about it (hence my own : As I live and breathe)

You've successfully slain the dragon! How will you toast your marshmallows?
