First...there is a little spot on the right side where you can add your email and become a follower of this blog so you don't miss any future posts.
Second...I have added a spot on the bottom of these new posts that gives you an option to leave a comment...so...don't be shy...go for it. I can't wait to hear from you!!!
Now let's move on...I just thought I would take a minute and explain why the "New Shade of Pink". Understand first that my life will forever have a "hint of pink" in it. No matter how many years I get beyond the actual boob battle...once you have walked down this path you are forever changed and always glow a smidge pink
I have really been at a loss...struggling, stewing & brewing over this blog for the last year wondering if I had anything really to share. All I know is that I didn't want this to turn into an everyday over share facebook post...(ain't nobody got time for that silliness...just sayin) but I was beginning to feel a real disconnect because it just wasn't relevant to where my life is today. I started this blog as a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient but 4 yrs later my life is no longer revolving around treatment, side effect and complications. YES...I still have ongoing issues that will always be part of my "new normal" but I accept my new limitations...slow my pace and just keep moving forward figuring it out as I go.
DON'T get me wrong...I LOVE this blog and all the blessing it has brought into my life...more than I could ever begin to list. It has taught me so very much about myself & brought people into my life that inspire, support, motivate and have loved me thru some really dark days....but I am not the same person...I have evolved into something more.
I am now OFFICIALLY A SURVIVOR but I not only SURVIVED but I THRIVE!!! I am rediscovering my limited (it ain't always pretty...OYE!) creative self and embarking on some creative adventures. I still love to ponder, reflect & try to understand my purpose/role in this life...what I am supposed to learn...cause after all...that is what this life is all about. Facing new challenges (even the ones we don't want) that are meant to smooth off my rough edges making me a better version of myself then I was the minute before...always moving forward.
EXPERIENCE+ LEARNING= GROWTH
So let me end by saying again...Welcome to my new shade of PINK!! Can't wait to share more laughs, tears & "aha" moments with you.
Glad you are here
