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 >>

48 Hours

I’m overwhelmed with the kindness and love I’ve received since my most recent post.  Your comments, emails, texts, even your rituals performed in seeing me as whole and healed are appreciated more than you know.  Truly, thank you. As I wrote before, I am honoring myself as whole and healed right from the beginning.  Part of that healing has manifested in a 48 hour girl’s trip with one of my closest friends, my mother-in-law.  I captured it in photograph form specifically to share with you.  (Sorry Tracy, I’m no photographer…this is just me and my iPhone.) We were surrounded with Continue reading >>
