IN A WORLD GONE LOUD,
WE CHOOSE LOVE.
by Michael Whelan

The world feels like a mess to me right now—so much hate, division, and a painful lack of empathy, compassion, and love for one another. That’s the reason I began this site a few years back. At first, it was simply to share my television experience and then my head and neck cancer journey… to help others fighting the same battle, to show how to endure, how to advocate, how to keep going when everything feels impossible.
But it became so much more.
There was COVID. Losing my jobs. More cancer. Bella bringing light into dark days. Then breaking her back. And the hardest chapter of all—Rebecca’s heartbreaking journey, and my role as her loving caregiver. You didn’t just read about it… you lived it with me everyday. You carried me when she was suffering and more importantly, when she passed. 😪
Along the way, I hope my writing—my essays, my books, my ramblings from the heart—have given you something real. Maybe a laugh when you needed it most. Maybe a moment to shake your head and say, “only Michael.” And maybe, once or twice, a tear that reminded you how deeply we can love.
This page is meant to be a safe place. A real community—built on grace, humor, honesty, and heart.
And if this space has meant something to you, chances are you know a handful of people—friends, family—who would feel right at home here too. The kind-hearted ones. The ones still searching for a little light.
Invite them. Share this journey. If each of us brings just a few, we don’t just grow—we rebuild something meaningful. Something global. Something good.
Screw the hate.
