Allow Me to Introduce Myself!

My name is Michael J Simien Sr. First of all, I am NOT a writer. I started college but didn’t finish. I am not an expert in any shape form or fashion. So…here I am… me… attempting to write a book!  Now I will explain the reason (or madness) that I am starting the endeavor. I AM a walking, talking dead man! For almost 6 years I’ve been walking around diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I know I have stories to tell, some may even be helpful to others. And on top of that… here it is 2020 and now I am also dealing with mantle cell lymphoma! WOW! My second death sentence! Well… it is what it is! Dealing with cancer treatment is no joke mind you…but I intend to help with my faith and mindset. All I can do now is be truthful. I no longer fear death!(I must keep repeating this!)I know that God has been carrying me. I intend to be around much longer than expected. Right now, I’m doing things I’ve never even dreamed of doing. God takes you out of your comfort zone to forge you into something else. There is nothing special about me. I just feel so blessed to still be here. It’s ironic that it took my diagnosis to make me really take stock of my life! I realize I no longer have time for pettiness. Each day I wake up with childlike abandon. No matter what, I intend to live my life each day the only way I can…with joy and love! So…please pardon my ramblings, I hope to get better at this as time (haha!) goes by. Honesty is now so dear to me. I have to learn there is no time for games in my life. Except for basketball (some would say “not”) Peace and blessings!
