I am a native of Idaho and grew up a farmer's daughter in a tiny rural town of 400 people. I have worked in the legal field for 30+ years, and have three amazing sons, two fabulous daughters-in-law, one incredible granddaughter, and two grand-furbabies.

I enjoy ballroom dancing, Netflix binging, and hanging out with my peekapoo (Pekingese poodle), Max.

I am a cancer thriver, diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma - I'm thrilled to say I've already outlived the "average" expectancy. (If you are curious, my cancer color is lime green.)

After the Diagnosis

Six-years ago...

6-years ago today, I began what would be a three-year trek to save my life. I had just received a diagnosis of an incurable lymphoma.

For the first year, it began commuting 1,800 each way, several times a month for a clinical trial, and ended up with me inpatient locally for chemo, followed by two years of maintenance infusions. By my own choice, I then ‘divorced ‘ my on

While I got it, I didn't really understand it. Very jumbled, discombobulated. I mean, I got it, but it was so jolting the way it was here and there and the thoughts were all over (again, I get it, but it could have been told so much better, IMO). ...more

Quotes by Lynda [Wolters] Riggers  (?)

“I choose not to be bitter and angry because I feel there is a bigger message that I am supposed to share beyond the fact that I have cancer.”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“When you get sick you will be surprised by who steps up and who steps away. I can honestly say I did not think this would apply to me. I could not imagine that anyone in my family or circle of friends would not be there for me. Wrong!”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“It is exhausting explaining over and over again that yes, I am doing great and I feel fantastic, but I still cannot do the things I once did. My new normal with Cancer Related Fatigue.”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have”
Bob Marley Quote

“You have made me whole and complete, fixed a brokenness I didn't think possible.”
Lynda Wolters, The Placeholder

“I've learned it's okay to love more than one person.”
Lynda Wolters, The Placeholder

“And without realizing it, I have become what he needs, not what I need, and now I'm in love with him...[and] I'm not his beloved.”
Lynda Wolters, The Placeholder

“Falling in love was easy.anyone could fall. It was holding on that was tricky”
Liane Moriarty, The Husband's Secret
