I am capable, confident, intelligent, resilient and in charge. Health and happiness are my birthrights and I accept with gratitude.

At one of my lowest points, sugar had a painful grip on me. I'd buy/binge and then beat myself up over my behavior.

If I let a blue mood run rampant, before I know it I'm obsessing about the color of the satin lining in my coffin - will it match my dress? That's when I feel like Alice in Cancerland falling down the rabbit hole and just have to stop.

Your self-worth has nothing to do with your craft or calling, and everything to do with how you treat yourself.

We always have the potential to rise. Rise out of our slump. Rise out of our negative thoughts. Rise out of our comfort zone. Rise out of our complaints. GET UP AND RISE. Rising is a choice that's one powerful thought away.

Change your plate. Change your fate.

Yes, I have cancer and it might not go away, but I can still have a future because life goes on.
