“You beat cancer by HOW you live, WHY you live & in the manner in which you live.” #StuartScott I choose LOVE & GRATITUDE and surrounding myself with people who will take me higher. Just like my Yoga family who was there for me every step of the way during my #CancerJourney. I can’t believe I left them for so long but I’m so happy to be back on my mat at the best hot yoga studio on the island! . This month’s challenge is 30 days of Yoga 🕉. It happens to coincide with #BreastCancerAwareness month which fuels my desire to continue to educate women on facts and give them the courage they need to get screened. . I know it’s scary, but we are on day 3 of October and I’ve already had two friends tell me they found lumps. I pray that it’s nothing for both of them (send prayers please) but I’m very happy they were courageous enough to do something about it!! Too many women get scared. Don’t wait!! Early detection gives you the chance to do something about it and then go live a full life. I’m a survivor. DM 6.18.13 with recon. 8 rounds ACT chemo as a preventative measure. No rads. Final surgery 12.31.13. I’m so happy to say that almost 4.5 years have passed since I found my lump. Today I have a big smile on my face because #EveryDayIsAGift and that I continue to #ChooseLove even in this scary and crazy time. .
