“Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.” — Morgan Harper Nichols
No, I am not the woman I was before, but the woman I am today shines the way God always intended for me to shine. And I am not sad at all that part of me had to die, so a greater me could emerge.
My outlook was that it could have been worse! Why complain? Cancer did not bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet. I learned I was stronger than I imagined I was.
Life is truly a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day process. Time is valuable. Don’t waste it!
Take your life back and continue to press on. Speak life over yourself and focus on living.
I didn’t know how to cope with having breast cancer.
I know all our stories are different and I want other women to know to what it’s like when finding out you’re stage IV right out the gate. If I knew back then what I know today things could had been different.
Sometimes I just want to complain about it all without someone saying you’re strong you’ll get through it, but sometimes smiling makes it easier for everyone else around you.
How do you find your new normal like your oncologist so nonchalantly suggested? As if you were looking for your iPhone that had the “Find my iPhone” feature enabled.
I am a miracle! Despite what it looks like – if I can make it, you can make it! Find what gives you hope.
I’ve learned through all of this I’m a lot stronger and resilient than I ever thought I could be.
