This video was made shortly after the end of my breast cancer treatment. There is a link to it on the blog page. I haven't watched it in forever, but I just read a really sweet message from a college friend about it and she brought a tear to my eye.
She told me that she remembered the party girl I used to be (laughs, see I told you...) and she felt that even through all that I had been through I was still very pretty. Considering that I'm feeling old and schlumpy these days... that made me feel really great.
I have the fortunate blessing to meet great and wonderful people every where I go. And even though I rarely sit in the same space for long -- I love the fact that those friendship threads are always there ready to be picked up again. It is such a huge blessing in my life to meet people and make friends every where.
I don't love the way I look in this video (well, my makeup is awesome) but I do love the honest way that I spoke from my heart. And I love that they edited out the parts where I cried.
I always cry.
But... good times! Even when its bad, its good because I am alive.
How alive are you today?
Many thanks to the wonderful people at Someone With... for this wonderful opportunity to be pampered for a day and to speak out about what my life is like with breast cancer. Be sure to go to their website to learn more about this awesome group -- they provide a shopping portal for items needed by breast cancer patients.
