PESTO CHANGE-O 🥗 . My mom brought over a crazy amount of Basil which means Pesto Sauce!! This is Basil walnut Pesto and it's Leftover just like the chicken from Tuesday night's dinner. All I did was place it on top of arugula with tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms. Added a drizzle of EVOO and avocado on top! What did you eat for lunch? . #LunchIsServed #GetInMyBelly

SURVIVE & CONQUER then SHARE YOUR JOURNEY 🎀 Oncologist Follow Up Today . Nobody knows what it's like to hear the words, or in my case hear Charlie Brown's teacher mumble the words, YOU HAVE CANCER. 😰😤😓😫🙃😳. In an instant you go thru a tumult of emotions all at once. It's sickening, it's fearful, it's outrageous, it can't be and crazy. This can't be happening to me, right?? This report is wrong - how could I have it? What did I do? (Insert your own emotions here). . I think we all question, "Why Me?" . I quickly realized the answer to that question didn't matter. My first thought was of my daughter Bella, she had just turned 7. These were the exact words in my head, "NOBODY IS TAKING ME AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER UNTIL IM GDAMN GOOD AND READY!" 💥 . It wasn't that simple - but it set forth a determination to kick cancer's ass. I didn't look Fear in the face because I refuse to give it life - it didn't have a face. It didn't exist. I was Fear-less because I chose to have faith and trust the journey and my medical team. . FOUR YEARS LATER - I can finally answer that question, Why Me? This quote - "You Have Been Assigned This Mountain to Show Others IT CAN BE MOVED" represents my reason. If I can give a person strength and hope by showing them I've been through the worst, kicked ass and survived this roller coaster (as others showed me!) then it was worth it. . I can't say it's been all easy PEASY but I can show you that f you take it one day at a time and stay focused on doing all that you can, you will one day be on the other side of that cancer mountain - or you will have removed it completely. NEVER GIVE UP - cry, kick, scream, whatever. Just do what ya gotta do to get through it. Because you will. #FaithOverFear . #BreastCancerSurvivor #BreastCancerAwareness #badass #FearlessVixenFitness #cancervixen #Msk #MemorialSloanKettering #mastectomy #chemo #fuckCancer #NeverGiveUp #YouGotThis #PinkPower #pinkSister #PowerOfPink

Imagine a world where we supported each other and celebrated our differences. We all want to be liked by the other. While that may be impossible, the truth is, life would be incredible with positive affirmations rather than the cattiness and disgust. #LoveMyTribe I wouldn't be here without them. They didn't let me give up and they wouldn't let me leave. What's better than that when you are in need??

Refuse to Sink ⚓️ Today I Affirm: Every Time I Think Sinking is an Option, I Will Intentionally Choose to Stand. It's when you're tired, run down and depleted when you think you can't. That was me one week ago. Devastatingly. For the first time in years I wanted to quit - quit on everything, including those that I love. I felt broken down and broken. I've been in a fog for so long it was habitual. But it's when you're tired, run down and depleted that CHANGE HAPPENS!!!!! This pic was me for our closing celebration. I brought red to be bold and it empowered me to walk confidently that my fire had been relit and I needed to breakdown in order to break through. . Sometimes it's hardest to take care of yourself when you're going through it. Sometimes you need to fall flat on your face before you actually pick yourself up again. And you will. NEVER GIVE UP especially when you want to quit. #Refuse2Sink #CelebrateTheJourney #IncludingTheBadShit #BeBold #EmpowerLoveInspire #IGotThis #Survive2Thrive #Nola #FearlessVixenFitness #CancerSurvivor
#UnlockYourPotential by #Believing in YourSelf! ✈️🌌💗 Our destiny all starts with our decisions. What is it you believe about yourself? Do you believe the Sky is the Limit, because it is! Sometimes I tend to think I'm not afraid of what's holding me back because I associate fear with something big based upon experience. However on a daily basis I stopping looking up at the sky 🌌 understanding that whatever I want is JUST BEYOND that wall of fear, loathing and obstacles I put up (all by myself mind you). Someone asked us last week, "Who are you on the other side of that wall?" And the wall began to SHATTER into tiny shards of glass for me. How? Simple. I choose #FaithOverFear during my #cancer journey. Somewhere in the daily grind of life I lost that faith and let the tiniest, mundane things grow into a larger fear/obstacle. I began shutting myself down solely because it's easier to take care of others instead of taking care of myself. . But I know and #iBelieve that Faith propels you forward and Fear holds you back. I've been saying this for years!!! It's time to take that #leapOfFaith for myself. Do it with me!b BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, take one good look at who you are on the other side of that wall and go be that person. It's possible, that person is there. Go for it and UNLEASH YOUR GREATNESS !!!! #CantPourFromAnEmptyCup #IGotThis #Survive2Thrive #CancerSurvivor #FearlessVixenFitness #WineLover #FitnessFantic #HealthWarrior #DisneyNerd

I can't wait to go home, hug my family, sleep for 8 hours and ATTACK THE DAY TOMORROW!! This girl is fired up 🔥 for family, friends, life and HELPING PEOPLE - which is what I love to do most. Hell, I even help people crossing the street when they're lost. Can't help myself!! 😄 . Most of all I'm working on me - helping myself. My friend Valerie said to me (appropriately for the coffee lover) you #CantPourFromAnEmptyCup and I no longer will. Health, fitness, nutrition, family, work, responsibilities, the future - taking care of me will help me with everything else. Wouldn't you agree?? On another note I fell in love with #Nola and wish I had more exploring time. It's so beautiful and so damned HOT here !! NY will feel like fall after this 🍂 😄 #IGotThis #Survive2Thrive
