Living with stage 3 breast cancer and juggling motherhood and marriage has undoubtedly been a challenge. However, through the power of yoga and painting, I've found solace and strength. Join me on my journey, and let me help you find courage and hope in the face of adversity.
Family First
The Importance of Support
Being surrounded by loved ones has been crucial to my journey back to health. My husband and children have been my backbone through the ups and downs.
Cancer & Motherhood
Being a mother and navigating cancer treatment has taught me the value of self-care. My children have motivated me to push through the difficult days and never give up.
Marriage & Cancer
Cancer can test the strongest of marriages, but my husband and I have only grown closer. Together we've learned to appreciate the present moment and savor life's simple pleasures.
A Slice of Serenity
Overcoming Pain with Yoga
Yoga has helped me manage the physical pain and emotional stress of cancer treatment. Combining breathwork with gentle stretches and poses has provided me a sense of peace and calm.
The Healing Power of Art
Painting has allowed me to express my emotions and release the weight of my worries. The simple act of creating has brought me joy and a renewed sense of purpose.
Finding Comfort in Books
When I'm not on my mat or at my easel, I turn to literature for comfort and inspiration. Books have offered me a window into another world and given me the perspective and motivation I need to keep fighting.
Reflections and Gratitude
The Silver Linings
- The love and support of my family and friends
- The kindness of nurses and doctors
- The resilience of the human spirit
Moving Forward
- To continue practicing yoga and honing my art skills
- To be an advocate for cancer patients and survivors
- To cherish each day and live life to the fullest
Gratitude in Difficult Times
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
- Melody Beattie
Embracing Mortality, Celebrating Life
It's natural to feel fear and anxiety when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Questions about our mortality and what we'll leave behind can weigh heavily on our minds. However, it's important to remember that each day is a gift. I've learned to embrace the moment and celebrate the beauty of life.
You Are Not Alone
If you're battling cancer, or supporting someone who is, know that you are not alone. There are resources and support networks available to you. Remember to take care of yourself and find joy in the little things. Life is precious.
