My Wise Words interview today is with Mary Fairhurst, a Washington state Supreme Court justice, who talked so openly about living with cancer that could kill her sooner rather than later.
She's realistic that she might have less than a year to live while at the same time, she's optimistic that she'll beat this cancer.
Thank you, Mary, for being so open in our interview. Your words will help others today and in the future.
