BATTLE COURAGE

At least you have the &ldquo,good&rdquo, cancer!You go girl, you&rsquo,ve got this!Good for you&mdash,Now, you can use this as motivation! What do you say to someone who has just been hit with the gut-punch of a cancer diagnosis, or in my case, stage III, aggressive breast cancer? How are we supposed to navigate the life-altering roller coaster rides of life with any amount of grace when all we really want to do is scream? , When facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, how do we prevent ourselves from falling headfirst into the abyss of fear, doubt, mutilation, and yes . . . hopelessness? THIS IS MY STORY. No concretes. No panaceas. No prescriptive, five-step plan to deal with the fight of your life. I certainly don&rsquo,t have the answers. No one does. These are simply the unfiltered truths of my journey of harnessing a hidden warrior princess mentality to battle hurricane gale-force winds of adversity. Feel free to insert your own moniker for &ldquo,cancer.&rdquo,  ,We all encounter adversity. Sometimes it&rsquo,s a knock down, drag-out experience. How we wipe off the blood and iron out the kinks in our armor is what matters. That&rsquo,s what makes life, well . . . life. Let&rsquo,s navigate it together with a few giggles, eyebrow raises, and tears along the way. It&rsquo,s true. Together, we are better._,
