A New Beginning

Facing a life challenge like breast cancer changes lives forever, physically and emotionally. But it is also a chance for a new beginning. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming to a close, I’d like to share with you what my new beginning after breast cancer brought me.

1. Here’s the first of my three new mantras: save you lumps, check for bumps. It saved my life and I tell every woman I meet.

2. I wrote It’s Just Hair: 20 Essential Life Lessons, not only to share life lessons with others, but also to serve as a fund raiser for non-profits.

3.  Second and third new mantra: One, everything happens for a reason, even the bad things. Second, we all owe a payback to humanity. If you can find a way to join those two things, even better.

Pick a day for your new beginning. Look forward, but remember how far you’ve come. Think of the new skills, assets and enlightenment your experience has brought you. Now go live a fabulous life!
