A year and a half of chemo and hospitals can't hold us back... there is too much light to shine!
Most everyone was certain I wouldn't be able to "keep up the happy act" after my son was diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer in June of 2022.
They continued to watch... waiting for me to break down and give up hope.
Over the course of many years, they had become accustomed to my bubbly energy and sometimes obnoxiously persistent positivity. How in the world would I handle this new chapter in my life?
While I was heartbroken, lost and terrified... I instinctively dove into the one practice I know can pull us out of anything:
I had been authentically sharing about my life for years. I had a decision to make - Was I willing to continue to share through the pain and anguish?
After my son rang the bell in October of 2023, I found myself looking in the mirror really wondering who was the woman in the reflection and what was her purest purpose. With chemo treatments complete, and hospital/doctor visits minimized, I got to look at the blank canvas that was my life and decide.
Often we feel like we need to go back to what we know. We think it's all a waste if we go a new directions. But the truth is we are meant to grow through each chapter of our lives and if we can let go of the past, we can truly discover our greatest selves.
After reflecting and diving in deep, I kept coming back to one clear answer
If you are looking around my site and socials seeing some unfinished projects and perhaps some sloppy and maybe even confusing content - You're right!
So as my son continues to heal, I will get to fine tune my online presence and direction.
