Surviving Breast Cancer with strength, self love and inspiration will guide you to your new journey and love like never before!
“Your road in life can be paved with gold, as they say, or it can be shadowed with harder times. A simple bump in the pathway can quickly turn a normal day into a life-changing event, full of unexpected challenges. However, it is the lessons we learn from these twists and turns, as well as our growth to the next level of consciousness, that sparks greater empathy, improved leadership, and amazing ideas.” In the Blink of an Eye, Tina Olexa
Cancer. The six letter word that brings most people to their knees, leaving them with little to no hope. But, we don’t have to have this opinion.
Why does it take a push from Universe to find out what we are actually made of? Why does it test us? Because it shows us that we need to have faith, change your direction, look at something differently, look at yourself for SELF LOVE. It seems that it turns your world upside down. You can’t think straight, you ask yourself, “WHY ME?”, you say, “Now what?”
And it’s these life changing events that make us WHO WE REALLY ARE. Find your strength inside you, find the love inside you, find the motivation inside you, find the guidance within you.
When you hear those words, C-A-N-C-E-R, your life changes. Start today, find something that is inspirational, something that makes you happy, Take 10 min a day, do what it is that you love to do each and every day. What do you like to listen to, meditate, find strength in other things. Look at singing, music, dancing, walking, running, weight lifting, yoga, writing, art, hobbies, creating your designs, whatever that looks like. Really looking at the positive in each and every day!
- STAY OPTIMISTIC- no matter what happens, how you feel that day, and what the drugs have made you feel, stay Optimistic! Be thankful for your life each and every day. Be Grateful for your breath, for your journey that will be guided by the light that shines in you!
- SEND LOVE – When was the last time you said to someone you love, “I love you?” When was the last time that you said, “You mean everything to me?” When was the last time you said, ” I am so grateful for having you in my life?” You never know when you will never have that chance again.
- TAKE TIME FOR YOU – Because you deserve it! You take time to read, or exercise, or find that outfit that inspires you, makes you feel beautiful, because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Inside and out!
- REMOVE THE DEMON THOUGHTS – Remove the negative self talk that we all seem to do, just to imbalance us. Just to test us, just to see if we are believing. To see if we have faith, to have trust in the process.
- YOU ARE THE BOMB – You are the most beautiful before this happened, and you are the Bomb during and after! Because you are strong, you are beautiful, no matter if you have 1 breast or 2 or none! That’s not what makes us, that’s not what makes us who we are. It’s our love, it’s our inside and out.
- REMOVE THOSE THAT DON’T SERVE US ANYMORE – Yes, I don’t mean literally!! Hahaha I mean, don’t let the negative people use up any of our energy, our light because we need all of it for ourselves during this time. We need the strength, we need the positive vibes, we need the positive energy to go through our journey. You don’t have to mean, but set up your boundaries, and be selfish. There is nothing wrong with that.
- FIND THOSE AROUND YOU THAT TRULY LOVE YOU – that is the best kind of support. You don’t need any hassles during this time. You don’t need any distractions on your own growth, this time is for YOU!
- USE YOUR JOURNEY TO HELP OTHERS – Healing is the most powerful of all! It will empower you to give to others, guide others because it will change your prospective.
“Staying positive, even with an outlook that seems impossible, is the most important thing any of us can do. Enjoying the moments right in front of us is the best way to navigate the worst outlook.? Rex Jones https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/lymphoma-survivor-shares-positive-outlook.html
These are the times in your life that you remember you need a PLAN. A plan where it helps not only you personally but others around you that you love and trust. You are looking for that support, those words of positivity to uplift you each and every day to go through this journey. It’s the time when we look at our own family, our loved ones, and what means what to us? Yes let’s repeat that.
WHAT MEANS WHAT TO US? It’s time to get your act together. I could say it otherwise but for this Blog I will be good. Your plan needs to consist of planning for you and for those around you. It’s time to get serious now.
GET SERIOUS NOW!
- Yes, it’s time to get your 3 Documents that are so important in your PLAN, done! Yes, done. If you need assistance in knowing how to do that, head over to our website, link with our Membership Blueprint for guidance. What are those 3 documents you need?
- A Will
- A Power of Attorney – something that is in your area that puts someone you wish to have as your Director of your personal business when you are unable to your daily business activities
- A Living Will or a Representation Agreement, or a Healthcare Initiative. Not sure what they call it in your area, but this is for your Medical care, your wishes when it comes to your health when you are unable to make any decisions.
- Looking at our YOUR BACKUP PLAN BLUEPRINT – to enable you to make decisions on Your Bills, your pet’s food, vet, or keys, passwords, where documents are and who you want as your Executor, your Guardians, your Trustees, your people that you TRUST,
- We will need to have someone that will know us when times get tough. Someone that you can trust, to help you with these decisions.
- A FAMILY MEETING – have those discussions with your loved ones, what you want to have happen if something changes with your health. What funeral arrangements do you want, what do you want it to look like? It’s easy to go through our videos in our YOUR BACKUP PLAN BLUEPRINT to guide you through the meeting, or know what kinds of things do you need to make decisions on. I know I’m lost when the pressure is on. So make this an easy task that you can do with your heart with support from our guidance, in easy to watch videos and worksheets.
“I was confronted with my mortality. Suddenly I was thinking of possibly disappearing from the world. It was a rollercoaster. ” Coral Conway
When you have to confront your mortality, it makes you CHANGE. It enables you to think of things from a different prospective.

Our Podcast this week has been very inspiring, and motivating with a beautiful, caring and energizing woman, Erika Patterson, a Breast Cancer Survivor. I hope that this will inspire You’all!!
Erika talks about her belief system, her finding her way through the dark side of the hearing the words, ” You have Stage 2 Breast Cancer”. She was determined enough to overcome her many obstacles during this trying time. But, with those that loved her around her, her persistence, her intuition and her faith brought to where she is today. Thank you Universe! She remembers not feeling prepared, not feeling like she was where she wanted to be at this time in her life. She expressed her fears but also her challenges but success through the struggle. I sure wouldn’t wish this on anyone, but I have sincere admiration for this new friend of mine. Her strength that inspires me each and every day. Thank you for stepping into my life Erika, I am truly blessed to be part of your journey and I have been put here to help others, to help heal the hurts. I have put here to tell these stories of others, their Real Life stories with Real Life People. Thank you!
