We have a “Modern Thai” restaurant in Annapolis called Lemongrass. I don’t really enjoy spicy food but I have asked for their Drunken Noodle without spice and boy, is it delicious! It had actually become one of my favorite meals. That was until I ate it the night of my first chemotherapy treatment. Prior to […]
Day 22: It’s not about me.
I don’t remember a lot of what was said during that first consultation with my breast surgeon, Dr. Lorraine Tafra. It was the same meeting during which we were told that the biopsy results confirmed the suspicion that the tumors in my right breast were definitely cancer. I mentioned in an earlier post that I […]
Day 21: Traditions are important!
With the coming of October and the holidays just around the corner, traditions were already on my mind. Then I was invited to a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting the other night in which the topic for the evening was Traditions. The speakers threw out lots of wonderful ideas for traditions to do with our […]
Day 20: If it weren’t for cancer, I would have never met….
Today’s post is a little different and probably more for myself than anyone else. I want to take some time to reflect on some of the beautiful people that I crossed paths with because of my cancer journey. Each one has had a very special role to play in my journey and it is because […]
Day 19: Only Jesus can turn trial into blessing.
I have a friend named Sylvia. I haven’t known her for too long now but in the short time I have known her I have learned an awful lot from her. The start of our friendship was beautiful really because it was through a handwritten card I received from her in the mail. How many […]
Day 18: I don’t hate the color pink.
I’ve gone most of my life not being very fond of the color pink. I blame my mom. As her third child and only daughter, she forced pink on me quite often. She even decided at one point while I was growing up that laying pink carpeting in our entire house was a good idea. […]
Day 17: Listen to my body!
A few days ago I wrote about not letting your mind limit what your body can do. I feel like I need to write a disclaimer addendum to that post. The body is an amazing thing capable of so much. It is also amazing because it can alert you when something is not right. I was […]
Day 16: I delight in God’s Word.
Several months ago, I came across Psalm 119:92 “If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.” I thought about that word delight and even looked up its definition. Delight means “to bring great pleasure or joy”. Before my journey through breast cancer treatment, I read scripture. I even memorized […]
Day 15: I don’t have an alien head.
So remember when I mentioned my fears about losing my hair? If you were to feel my head through my hair, it does this weird thing in the back where it goes flat and then kinda drops off toward my neck. Blake and I have always joked about my alien head. So one of my […]
Day 14: Jesus IS Calling.
Like a lot of other great things in life, my mom was the one that introduced me to a small devotional book entitled Jesus Calling. At the time she gave it to me, I had no idea the impact it would have on my life and my relationship with The Lord. As I walked through the […]
