No More Pink Ribbons! So, Why Do I Walk?

Pink Ribbon Overload Familiar heading?  I used it last week when I posted, The New C Word.  Yes, I’m on pink ribbon overload.  And it’s not just the pink ribbons, it’s the whole Komen walk.  I did my first Race For The Cure in the late 1980′s, back when breast cancer was not so near and dear to my heart, but interestingly enough, back when I believed my running in it and supporting it actually mattered.  This past weekend, as I walked with 24,000+ other supporters through the pink-saturated streets of Dallas, I looked around and marveled at the spectacle Continue reading >>

Broadcasting Blessings

Last year, on this very day, many of you were praying for me as I went into the hospital to undergo a bi-lateral mastectomy.  Today is a milestone and I feel blessed, Blessed, BLESSED. You may recall, when this healing journey began (as I referred to it), I asked you to do one thing:  to see me as Whole.  As already healed… in the present tense.  And you did.  Thank you. I remember sharing this picture with you: This tag was attached to the ear of a stuffed animal given to me by the radiologist who performed my mammogram (my Continue reading >>

A New Normal

A New Normal

I keep waiting for my body to feel ‘normal’ again.  I think, because I’m a hopeful person, I keep hoping that my body will go back to feeling how it did pre-cancer, pre-surgeries. I’m just about done waiting…. Around 11 months ago my brilliant surgeons went in and removed all of my breast tissue, replacing the undesirable tissue with temporary implants, and eventually permanent implants. Yes, that’s 11 months for me to get used to a new body, a new normal.  Yet I still wait. I still can’t hold several yoga postures.  Or, if I manage to get into the Continue reading >>

Top 4 Beliefs For a Foundation in Trust

Top 4 Beliefs For a Foundation in Trust (Part 3 in “Learning How to Trust” Series) We began this month’s series on “Learning How to Trust,” with: Part 1:  “The First Step in Trusting. Can It Really Be That Simple?” and Part 2:  “Why Don’t People Trust?”  Today we dive into the third component:  The Foundation of Trust. Circling back around to Part 1, we discussed making a shift from What If thinking, to becoming aware of What Is.  Hopefully, you’ve been practicing becoming aware of What Is.  For some, perhaps this has been easy.  For others, it may have Continue reading >>

It ALL Started One Year Ago Today

Hi TLT Readers! I know the month of May is dedicated to the series, “Learning How to Trust,” however, today’s post is not part of that learning series. (But it does have EVERYTHING to do with Trust.) Today marks a bit of a milestone, and I wanted to briefly share (AND CELEBRATE) with you. One year ago today, I went in for my first mammogram.  Today, as I sit in my writing chair, these words spewing out to you, simple words, but words accompanied with complex feelings inside my chest, I’m reminded of all that has happened in ONE YEAR.
