Learning What Love is
We gravitate to what we know; the familiar and Michael's love was so gentle, constant, and unique but unfamiliar to me. I thought that the "familiar kind of love," which kind of feels like slipping on a pair of old shoes, is somewhat comfortable but always mixed with pain. It could not work out for us back in 1993.
Cancer Crossroads
I respect every cancer treatment choice because I have so many family members who have faced these hard choices; Over twenty family members. If we choose standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy, we know it compromises our immune system to successfully kill cancer cells. There are things to consider. My cancer journey started in 2006
Suicide
The brain is a vital organ like the rest of our organs; heart, lungs, liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, colon, etc. Individuals who have had trauma to the brain or were born with abnormalities have the same challenges as someone struggling with a health issue. Diabetes, colitis, chron’s, cancer, blindness, deafness, heart, lungs, bones, etc.
A Wish Come True
I am cancer-free for 10 years! I made choices for five years starting in 2006 in Tacoma WA, then continued to Seattle WA, then UCLA, and finally, in September 2010 I was facing advanced stage 4 breast cancer and was told that I only had 3-12 months to live. I never gave up and went on to CMN Hospital in San Luis Rio Colorado Mexico where I did alternative cancer treatments. I have NEVER done chemotherapy and am so grateful to be healthy today with cancer far behind me now.
Misdiagnosed
Before the battle begins and the outcome has been decided, let the adversary know that you are a fearless competitor, worthy of a second opinion. Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
Tenth Anniversary Cancer-Free
I celebrate ten years of being cancer-free. However, I am always sensitive to everybody still trying to heal cancer. I want the same for everyone and I pray this post gives hope and inspiration to people!
I do not believe that healing is spontaneous even though individuals like me who beat it without chemotherapy are put in that category I believe there is so much more to healing than just the physical healing. I addressed other areas as well such as healing emotionally from unresolved trauma, growing in faith spiritually, and mentally I changed my mindset to positive thinking.
A One-Sided Relationship
A One-Sided Relationship
I learned a valuable lesson on how I could improve and give so much more in my greatest relationship.
Have you ever felt slighted in a one-sided relationship? Maybe it's a friend that comes to you only when they needed something. My relationship with God used to be like that until 2006. I did not share quality time with God. Mostly I reached out when I needed Him because I was desperate, and I had strong enough faith that He would always hear me and send me answers on what to do.
Prayer for Those seeking the divine healing of God,
Lord, I come before you every day for all who need your healing hand and for anyone who calls on me for advice or needs words of encouragement because serious illness has touched their life. I may not have the words or answers they are looking for, but I ask that You give me the patience to listen to them and to guide them in a way that serves them the best. Everyone has a different path. I pray that You show them how to trust themselves if they are afraid, and please give me discernment, so I
A Transformative Day at the Beach: Where I Discovered My Soul
In my younger years, I tended to be less responsive to the gentle nudges from God on what the right thing to do at other crossroads in my life. It took one crisis, then another, and many more before I hit a life-changing crossroads in my life where I was facing the most traumatic crisis of all...-my death. In 2010, I had a recurrence of stage 4 breast cancer and became severely ill after surgery and radiation with a staph infection; cancer had spread to my bones and all lobes of my lungs. My doctor told me I had only months to live, and at that moment, shock hit me, and I panicked.
It wasn't until I took a walk one evening on the beach just before sunset. I will never forget what happened that day. I walked until I came to a private area where no one was around. I lay down in the warm sand…
Emotional Trauma vs. Physical Trauma
Getting a cancer diagnosis can cause the most intense fear. In fact, just waiting for results is a traumatic event from the moment you hear those dreaded words, ” You might have cancer.” Still, once we find out, we immediately want all the measurable results about the cancer diagnosis. We focus on the physical and visible symptoms, just like an injury. We want our blood work, our radiology reports, and a treatment plan for the body. We want cancer gone now!
My Darkest Hour
My Darkest Hour: A Personal Letter to a Friend. It was Spring, May 2011, just three months after doing alternative cancer treatment at CMN hospital in San Luis, Sonora, Mexico. I had stage 4 breast cancer that had aggressively spread to all lobes of my lungs, bones, and lymph nodes. I was in a lot of pain, terrified, and afraid the treatment was not working. I get emails from brave cancer warriors (Mostly women late stage) asking me how long it took to start noticing my body healing after treatment? My answer is not what you would think
The Link Between a Broken Heart and Cancer
Even in the worst of battles, we can help another. We can go through shock and a broken heart in divorce, loss of a loved one, custody battle, etc. After talking with so many women as a life coach,
The Pride Of The Peacock Is The Glory Of God
He made another wrong turn and drove down a residential street, driving more abruptly now. He was pretty upset, and I was starting to feel unsafe and nervous. I prayed for peace to wash over him. All of a sudden, there were peacocks EVERYWHERE!
World Cancer Day is on My Birthday, February 4
Isn't it ironic that my birthday, February 4th is World Cancer Day? Both my twin sister and I are breast cancer survivors? I found this out only a couple of years ago.
Meet My Son and Daughter
My son Kyle and daughter Jessica. They were good kids growing up; never unkind to one another. No screaming, no hitting, they even baptized each other and made me wait in the car when they went to do this. Kids pretend a lot of things but this was
Christmas Star
As 2020 comes to a close, the solar system has decided to grace us with a Christmas miracle that hasn't been witnessed in nearly 800 years. On Dec. 21
Emotional Trauma From Losing a Pet
My dog Louie got out! He has three legs and does not know the neighborhood. He is 75% blind and the fear I felt was devastating at 6 AM. He only has three legs, and I had to call out for him up and down the streets.
Pink… Not the Answer to Cancer
PINK IS NOT THE ANSWER TO CANCER
It has been 38 years since Susan G Komen’s first run...People have been running for the cure since 1983 with the very best of intentions. They are still running.
Thank you to everyone that ran who was on a mission to do something great for the cause, show support for a loved one, or be a part of something where we thought it would make an incredible difference we could find a cure. I even did a couple of these runs/ walks myself.
