How I began to slowly fall in love with my body and redefined what sexy is to me.
There is a mourning of a loss that I recognize, as well as a rebuilding. I am trying hard to recognize the pain and move through it.
Your mindset is what determines your happiness.
It’s ok to be truthful about how you feel.
My post-cancer body is a work in progress, both physically and mentally. I would even go so far as to say that the battle is more mentally.

Like all great stories, my body has taught me many lessons. Lessons of love, of gratitude, of grace and patience.
I put out an APB for my Sexy, unsure if it could actually be brought back but I was willing to do the work to get it back.
These are MY terms of being at peace living with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC). Being diagnosed with Stage IV MBC at the age of 31 was not my form of peace, but I live and exist in purpose.
