I saw you and your daughter speak at the first Gathering Place! I just shared this with three of my friends who recently went through treatments. Thank you!! You spread hope and that message of gratefulness. Love it!!
I’m so glad you are here. You lift my spirits. I too went thru breast cancer almost 5 years ago. It was triple negative but I had a fabulous oncologist (Dr. Theo! 💜) that went the extra mile (in so many ways) and mine was a breeze. I had CMF ( I don’t remember the medical terms but just refer to it as Cancer Mother Fu**er & that works). The chemo & radiation tired me out but I didn’t lose my hair or miss a single day of work. I was never nauseated & didn’t lose my appetite or a single friggin ounce of weight! I quite certain that it was harder on my partner & family than it was on me. 😢. I don’t exactly feel guilty but I most certainly don’t feel like a survivor of something. I think about it sometimes knowing that it is likely to reoccur somewhere but I just don’t seem to feel like it will. I think I have possibly been sleep walking through a great deal of my life. I just don’t choose to agonize over something I have zero control over.
The 🍊💩 & the 👽 have me pretty rilled up but even that I seem to be able to flip a switch on. All this I guess is to say that I believe I envy you your clarity. 💜
I love, Love, LOVE that photo of you with your grandchildren. It made me tear up, as well. You're a very strong person, Regina & I know you mostly haven't had familial support. I don't know how you've done it all of these years. I keep holding close to the Lord, myself: "things" go better that way.
Thank you for this. Great advice, as usual. So glad you got the 27 bonus years. We all wouldn't be the same without you! Love the pictures. Beautiful family!
I read your daily and am currently reading your book, Little Detours. CONGRATULATIONS and thank you - my score is "Peg 4 v Cancer 0". You are a channel of sacred loving goodness
This all rings so true. So well put! I've survived 18 years and get to be 82. I am definitely not wasting any time moaning over the age spots...but using the good stuff, makeup and color (vanity thy name is Char)! You have such a way with words that puts a warm blanket over me. Happy to have found this.
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away❤️🩹⭐️
Lesson well taught❣️
As a cancer survivor this resonates. Beautifully written, wishing you well! 🙏
You found a way to be grateful for all of the blessings in your life. What a great foundation for your recovery from the illness.

Happy birthday in May! I am delighted you get to be 69 (me too, in June). ❤️

The gift of time is precious. Many of us are in wonder of it every day. Living every one of my gifted days to the fullest.

I’m into my fifth year post-cancer surgery and radiation, and your writing has touched me…
I go days without thinking about how blessed I am to have caught the cancer early and to be doing great (at 71!)
You’ve reminded me to continue to do and be all I can be, and to appreciate life lived daily. Thanks, Regina!❤️
