“Tell the story of the mountain you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.” — Morgan Harper Nichols
Your breasts play a huge part in your sexuality. It felt good to have them touched, kissed. It turned me on and now…nothing.
I want to give you a few tips for creating mindfulness in your daily life without sitting down in silence. Here are a few ways to begin your practice.
Us women are more than just our bodies. And while our bodies may be the only home we have, it’s our hearts and our spirits that propel us forward – not our aesthetic.
Something I’ve realized since I finished treatment is that, yes we are done and that’s great but we are sent out to deal with the after effects on our own.
The first time I heard the words breast cancer, I was a little girl. I had no idea what that really meant or of the the impact that these two words would later have in my life.
No, it did not run in my family. No, I never drank, used drugs or smoked. No, I didn’t eat sugar. Yes, I took care of my body, yet it showed up anyway.
The beauty of breast cancer is that it gave me insight. I was doing too much for the wrong people.
I really think it’s important to have people by your side, it helps you to get through. You know you have people out there that are fighting with you.
Just because I had cancer, doesn’t mean cancer had me!
I understand why some folks do not want to have genetic testing. It is easier to walk within the unknown rather than to face a fear. However, think about the control and power you have with this information.
