Double Trouble
In August 2008, I began dating a man I had known since high school, and we married in December 2010. It wasn’t long before I realized I was in serious trouble. He was an alcoholic, violent, and explosive. At the same time, I was battling stage 4 cancer, undergoing surgeries and radiation. I felt trapped in the marriage, unable to leave because he was my caregiver. The abuse I endured.
The Storm of Anger
Anger was a quiet companion through my cancer battle, surfacing in moments I never anticipated. But in the calming flow of water during my morning swims and the gentle strokes of a paintbrush while listening to my favorite feel-good music playlist, I realized something deeper was happening to me. I was practicing ways to find peace when life felt too heavy. I now know how vital it is.
Months to Live
There’s an understandable fear about how men might view dating a woman who’s faced breast cancer twice. Is there a very real possibility of being burdened with her in the future? These concerns are real and deserve empathy. I remember how overwhelming it felt when I was single, trying to share this sensitive part of my life.
The Mirror of Truth
There was a woman who hurt me for years with her harsh criticism. Even when I was battling breast cancer, I never felt her compassion. She wasn’t a stranger—she was my best friend. Through a divorce, custody fights, and assault, she never softened. I kept hoping for her to change, but she didn’t. Instead, something deeper was happening, and that’s where the real story begins.

60% HIGHER CANCER INCIDENCE RATE WITHIN 2 MILES According to an independent epidemiological study by Dr. Hal Morgenstern, people living within two miles of the SSFL have a 60% higher cancer incidence rate compared to those living at 5 miles*. This means that the closer you live to the SSFL, the higher the risks of being impacted by contamination. However, there isn’t a giant glass wall keeping the contamination at the two mile point. Generally we recommend living as far from Read More
Meeting Brian Regan
During stage four cancer, fear overwhelmed me, but Brian Regan's comedy brought me joy. My brother gave me his DVD, and it became a lifeline through dark times. Miraculously, I later met him. When I shared how his humor helped cancer patients like me, he was surprised and moved, realizing the deep impact his comedy had.
Angelic Support
It is October 15, 2023 and as I sit here this evening, with my wonderful husband, I cannot help but reflect on the past 12 years since my PET scan results in 2011 on this day, 12 years ago that confirmed I was cancer-free. My dream is for everyone diagnosed with cancer to easily heal and for them to hold on to hope no matter what.
Staying Cancer-free
After healing from stage 4 breast cancer in 2011, I knew that maintaining my overall well-being was key to staying cancer-free. Nurturing not only my physical health but also my mental and spiritual wellness and through intermittent fasting, balanced meals, and mindful daily practices, I’ve built a routine that supports my continued health and peace, free from the fear of cancer's return.
God Whispers in the Night
Cancer can cause an emotional, mental and spiritual roller coaster ride!Are you suffering from panic anxiety or depression due to a cancer diagnosis? When you get diagnosed with something that can kill, it’s traumatic! You are forced to battle something inside your body that does not want you to thrive and could take your life. That’s the reality of it. We can’t ignore it. We must face it every single day. If you’re someone who went through cancer and healed, I’d be surprised to hear that you’ve never feared cancer returning.
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
Heroine’s Journey
If God chose for you to be a leader or warrior for Him, what kind of training do you think that would require? Think about it. Would it be challenging? Would you feel it would take being pushed to the edge, facing trials and adversity, to the point where you begin to discover abilities you never knew existed, gifts from God placed in your soul?
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.
God Clears a Path Always
I like to think of the Lord as He is A leader and my Heavenly Father who is always ahead of me, making a path for me to follow. When things seem to be a big mess, and you can’t find your way, we can get tangled up pretty bad sometimes, or circumstances can put us in places we never thought we’d be.
Journey of the Heart
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…
Mother’s Day
Mom, you were introduced to motherhood starting out carrying twins, and we each weighed six lbs eight ounces! That is a lot to carry, and once we were out of the safest place ever; in your womb, you took care of us, and it was double duty. You had to use different colored diaper pins to tell us apart.
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!
Tenth Anniversary Cancer-Free
Cancer-free since 2011. 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.
