Each month I pick a topic to lead our Faith Over Fear cancer group discussion. Tonight’s topic was lead by this question:
* What fears have been the hardest during your cancer journey?
Faith over fear does not mean we never feel afraid. It means we choose to keep walking with God even when fear is present.
We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month. If you are ready to sit beside those who have walked a similar journey, we would love to have you join us.
You are not alone.
🙏

I’m exactly where I’m supposed to me.
Deep flap breast reconstruction is an advanced, muscle-sparing microsurgical procedure that uses a patient’s own lower abdominal skin and fat to create a more natural-feeling breast after a mastectomy.
I was not a candidate for this type of reconstruction and instead had implants placed. During my recovery, my balance was not great, so I focused on seated abdominal and leg exercises. I quickly learned that a seated workout can be just as effective as exercises done on the floor or standing.
These are some of the movements that helped me regain strength while recovering from breast cancer surgery. I hope they encourage other women to keep moving in whatever way feels safe and manageable for their body and healing journey. 💗

Honored to be part of tonight’s donor reception at Mather Hospital. Grateful for the opportunity to give back and help support others on their journey. Truly blessed to be part of a community built on hope, healing, and compassion.
We can plan for tomorrow however we need to be flexible. We never know when a curveballs be thrown our way. Cancer taught me that “flexibility is the key to sanity.”
So many reasons why walking is amazing for our bodies. The AMA recommends moving our bodies 30 min, 5 days a week. This has been proven to reduce side effects of chemo and to decrease the chance of recurrence. It’s just plain GOOD FOR US!
So I’m replaying this video before posting and I misspoke at one point. When I said that it took me about 45 minutes to walk a half hour I said that I had was out of it because of surgeries and anesthesia. What I meant to say was that because of my situation, walking half a mile was a challenge and each day that I got up and I walked I felt myself getting stronger. It won’t happen overnight, but consistency is key. Before you know it, walking will be much easier and you’ll be able to go longer and a little faster.

Looking for a May challenge? 🌸
One that starts slow and builds each week—designed to fit your life, not overwhelm it.
As the walks get longer, break them up throughout your day:✨ 10 minutes in the morning✨ 10 minutes at lunch✨ 10 minutes after dinner
Can’t do a regular push-up? No problem—use a wall and keep going.
The goal for May is simple: start moving and gently challenge your muscles. Wake them up. Get them working a little more each day.
Feeling ready to level up? Add a weighted vest for an extra push.
Pop in your earbuds, press play, and enjoy the journey. 🎧💪
Wasn’t what I planned but I got it done. Moving our bodies doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. Just put one foot in front of the other! Adding a walking vest takes walking to the next level.

This is self-care. I’m wrapped in a blanket with my hoodie over my head, sipping coffee at our pond with my puppies. Quiet morning, listening to the birds and breathing in fresh air.

I thought once treatment was over and my hair started growing back, I’d begin to feel like myself again.
But that hasn’t been my reality.
Gratefully, I’m 3 years post infusions—but I’m still not even close to feeling like my old self. Chemo and Herceptin took a real toll on my body.
Each day I wake up, I start with three gratitudes and thank God for another day. Then I step into my “one day at a time” mission—to feel good in this new body I’m learning to live in.
This week has been tough. The inflammation, the discomfort… feeling like a balloon ready to pop. My body hurts.
But instead of letting it pull me under, I choose to keep going. I do what I need to do—mentally and physically—to feel even a little bit better.
Because the cancer journey doesn’t end when treatment does. It just changes.
And the good news? We still have a choice.
We can listen to our bodies. Learn what helps. Keep showing up.
Or we can give up.
I’m not giving up. Not now. Not ever.
I’m still learning. Still healing. And I’ll always share what’s helping me along the way. 🤍
