The most important lesson I’ve learned in being a breast cancer survivor is that I can do things on my terms and define what survivorship looks like for me.
If you are someone who is struggling or has struggled through the pain of breast cancer, then now more than ever, you need to practice self-love and self-care in order to fully heal for yourselves and for those who love you.
Your journey is tailormade for you; every twist and turn was strategically placed to build endurance, stretch your faith and move you closer to your goal.
Take time for self care. We’ve compiled a list of 10 organizations that can help you take care of yourself and your family – from spa days to outdoor adventure.
The first time I read Harry Potter, I felt like I was immersed in a world that was so surreal, yet so relatable. Amongst the fantasy there were simple humans, with complex emotions that they were trying to work through.
Is it possible that I spent my entire battle with breast cancer fighting for everyone else? The words you forgot about me rang out like a gong in my head. Is it possible that I was so busy making sure everyone else was ok that I forgot about…me?
It is interesting how things come full circle. A traumatic experience breeds fear, sadness, grief, shame and guilt. But positive adaptations to trauma are birthed as well.
Listen, I am here for a good time. I’ve been blessed to be here and I’m going to live everyday!
After a year of simply surviving, this year is focused on re-learning to love myself and all of my scars.
