“Ignorance Is Not Bliss”

“Ignorance is not bliss, and bliss is not found through ignorance.” —Anne Dennish

My ignorance almost cost me my life. Those words carry a different weight when I think about my breast cancer journey—a journey I shared in my book, “Waking Up.”

I’ve also written, “If you should find yourself getting hit hard with the truth, at least let it knock some sense into you.” Breast cancer was a hard truth in my life, and today I’m using my voice to remind you: please don’t put off taking care of yourself. If you’re due for your mammogram, make that appointment.

You matter. Your health matters. Make time for you.

You are important.

Wishing you love and light,

“Today Marks 11 Years!”

This morning I woke up a little differently than yesterday. Today I woke up as an 11 year breast cancer survivor. 

Today I woke up with more gratitude than usual, a gratitude filled with more happiness and smiles, love and laughter. Today I count another year of blessings as a survivor.

Today is a day I pray that I continue to celebrate every year.

Today I remember the journey of my breast cancer and the faith that I had to get through it. 

Today I remember the people who helped me through my journey. Their love and support is something I will be eternally grateful for and they know who they are! 

And today my thoughts and prayers are with those going through their own journey with breast cancer. 

Gratitude is definitely in the house more than usual today. 

Wishing you love and light,
