I don't want to be 'the girl with cancer' ... I just didn't want that to be my only thing. But it is part of me. And it's a big part of me.

I'm an optimist, so I think everything can be worked out and fixed. But from having cancer I learned that even if you're even an optimist, sometimes you just have to face the facts that certain things are broken.

Sometimes you have to take the focus off of you and put it on someone else and it's funny what you can accomplish and how much strength you really have.

The biggest thing I've learned is to smash my own spiders and get on with my day. There will be another!

There are two types of people: The ones who give you 50 reasons it can't be done ... and the ones who just do it.

Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy

It's gotten to the point where if I throw a cookie in the garbage, I have to douse it in Cascade. Otherwise, why wouldn't I take it out and eat it?
