One year ago today I underwent the most invasive surgery I never thought I’d have to go through. Honestly I wasn’t as nervous as I probably should have been, but I thank God, my family and the wonderful bible study ladies for that strength. This day wasn’t exactly the beginning of my breast cancer journey but when I left the hospital that day I was smiling because I left cancer free! It’s been a rough recovery road but I was very blessed that my road was not as difficult as some others.
So today I want to say THANK YOU again to everyone who kept me in their prayers, who sent notes, gifts, food and flowers. THANK YOU to my family who supported us through this journey with your calls, texts and those who were able to come out to Texas and help us during my recovery. Our wonderful friends who helped us more than you could ever know. You started out as neighbors but turned into so much more. Most importantly I have to give thanks to god for giving me the strength to get through this battle and for blessing me with everyone in our lives who helped to make it a little easier! You never know what god has in store for you but I know that he will always guide me to where I need to be and protect me as I journey there. ❤️🥥

We need to be living healthier. Mind, body and soul.

This vibrant young person died of breast cancer, folks. This is why I advocate so strongly against toxins and carcinogens. We are living in a toxic world. There’s so much we can’t control. But we can limit our exposure to the toxins surrounding us. And we can try to make the world a better, cleaner, less toxic place for our children.

Where do you start?

1. Try to buy organic. I know it’s hard to afford for many. Buying local from farmers is sometimes less expensive and often just as “clean.”

2. Eat fresh, whole, real foods as much as you can. Put the packaged foods back on the shelf.

3. Spend time meditating or sitting quietly and connecting with the divine or your higher self.

4. Move throughout the day. You may not have time to go to the gym. But walk or bike or scooter or do some stretching anyway. Park three blocks away and walk. Take the stairs not the elevator. Get up to change the channel on the television instead of using the remote.

5. Advocate for clean air and clean water and clean medicines. We have to get the carcinogens out of our environment.

We are living in a world that makes many susceptible humans sick. Let’s work together to improve it.

I’ve been doing a lot of research lately trying to figure out how to kick start our new popcorn business. Well today while searching through the sewing room to find some Velcro (not popcorn related) I see all of my sisters inspirational saying she has posted all over her workroom and it reminded me of how far she has come with her business. My baby sister is a true inspiration of how hard work, dedication and patients can pay off.

❤️ Sometimes god takes you down a road with lots of twists, turns, bumps and bruises, but if you have faith and dedication, he will always be there to pick you up when fall and surround you with tools, love and family to help when you need it. ❤️

Sometimes having a positive outlook on life is closing your eyes and remembering what your reasons for waking up in the morning are!!

It's not about us, it's about Him, as the beautiful lyrics of "Only Jesus" by Casting Crowns remind us: "I don’t want to leave a legacy / I don’t care if they remember me / Only Jesus. And I, I’ve only got one life to live / I’ll let every second point to Him / Only Jesus."

As I lay in bed to sleep I will think of 3 things I am thankful for, this has been a new part of my routine. I am always thankful as most people are however choosing 3 things after a hard day, week, or year gives me a little peace before closing my eyes.
