Life With Heathens

Jo is a 32 year-old mother of three chil­dren that she mis­chie­vously calls “the hea­thens”. That is why her blog is titled Life with Hea­thens. Jo is not just your aver­age mom and wife because she lives every day with can­cer. Her spirit and courage is con­ta­gious. Jo hap­pens to have a very large notice­able scar on her neck from pre­vi­ous can­cer surgery. Her post is titled More Than a Scar. She pub­lished orig­i­nally over a year ago but repub­lished it on the Fourth of July.
Jo explains it is for her newer read­ers to get to under­stand her a bit bet­ter. Being a new reader, The Ris­ing Blog­ger appre­ci­ated the oppor­tu­nity. Jo writes of the scar and peo­ple star­ing, “Since then I have had the mis­for­tune of being ini­ti­ated into the world of rude star­ing. You see, peo­ple seem to think it’s OK to stare, avoid eye con­tact, and then dash away. It’s not really the star­ing that gets me but the refusal after­wards to look me in the eye.” We are very impressed with Jo as a writer. Con­grat­u­la­tions Jo, you’ve writ­ten our Post of the Day!
