It is said that in every challenge great or small there are blessings waiting to be revealed. If you choose to go within and search for these gifts you can create a life filled with love, joy, and peace.
Being diagnosed with breast cancer was indeed the greatest challenge of my life. Yes, there were dark days and fear filled nights as to what my future would hold. Time suddenly came to a screeching halt when I heard those dreaded words, "You have cancer". It rocked my world upside down and shook me to my very core. But eventually I came out on the other side empowered and inspired.
I initially leaned on family and friends for physical, emotional, and mental support. I nurtured "me" in every possible way and began to open my heart with a new love for myself and for life. I discovered that life itself is a precious miracle and if I chose to embrace it my cup would always be half full. I am filled with gratitude for this opportunity to envision my world from a different perspective. It has been most enlightening and life changing.
Cancer helped simplify my life. I find joy in everything and don't waste precious energy on negative people or things. My focus is on living each day to the fullest. I have the power to manifest my reality and I choose to create a magnificent world.
I am more passionate than ever about supporting others on their cancer journey. I give a hug, hold a hand, wipe a tear. I acknowledge and I listen. I love and love heals.
I hope that by sharing some of my story it will inspire others to look within and see their own treasures just waiting to be revealed.
You are worth it.
