The beginning..

Every story has a beginning.  This is not the beginning of my story but the beginning of a chapter, a chapter I now choose to share with you.

I share this difficult chapter of my life in the hopes that you will not feel sorry for me but somehow along the way feel the need to hold my hand and in turn I will hold yours.  Not because you have sympathy for me but because we are human and like no other species we have feelings...feelings that set us apart.  So holding hands on a difficult journey shows we are human and makes the arduous journey called life just a little more tolerable.  So should you ever have to take a difficult journey in life someone will be there to hold your hand.

If you choose to take this journey with me I can guarantee it will not be easy but I can assure you it will be scenic, adventurous, and never dull.  In the end you will learn, you will grow, you will judge, you will appreciate, you will laugh and you will cry, you will be changed ... and those are my only guarantees.

So with that out of the way....

Let the journey begin...this is the chapter in my life where I fight triple negative, stage 4, metastatic cancer each and everyday!  I not only survive doing it but I THRIVE doing it....

In lipstick and heels...always heels!
