2 Year Cancer-versary!
I made it TWO YEARS! Not that I've expected to not make it, but rather I'm so incredibly thankful for the gift of life and how I have changed in the two years since my cancer diagnosis and surgery. Two years ago today with a husband who gives every ounce of himself away to help… Continue reading 2 Year Cancer-versary!
“God wink” Moments
Katherine Wolf, the author of Hope Heals and an amazing woman of God, often references moments in her life where she sees God working as a "God wink." I love it so much and I've really been paying attention lately to God and how he's working in my life. Since I've started back working after… Continue reading “God wink” Moments

Cancer Treatment and (almost) NO Side Effects.
I officially started my cancer treatment on January 2nd. I am taking Tamoxifen (an estrogen blocker) everyday for the next 10 years. Because my cancer was low risk, I did not have to have chemo or any other invasive treatment. Also my cancer was hormone fed (estrogen and progesterone positive at 99 and 100%), tamoxifen… Continue reading Cancer Treatment and (almost) NO Side Effects.
Hearing Loss Intro. #tuneintuesday
I've learned more than what I ever thought I would need or want to know about hearing loss in the last 7 months. My goal is to write a post every Tuesday about hearing or hearing loss or something related to hearing. Before hearing loss affected our family, I knew zero about it. I think… Continue reading Hearing Loss Intro. #tuneintuesday
What I’ve learned this year.
This time last year I was going to get an MRI "just to double check" that cancer was not in my body. I had checkups every 6 months because of my mom's early diagnosis. Little did I know, a few days later I would get news that I never saw coming. I've learned a lot… Continue reading What I’ve learned this year.
