Wow, almost 40% of our population will be diagnosed with cancer in their life.  

I was in a small Single's Sunday school class for many years at my church and 5 out of 6 of my closest friends in the group have had cancer.  

How does one live with hope while they are dealing with cancer?

I am thinking that someone living with cancer needs to demonstrate the same coping skills and self-care that they do on a daily basis for depression, anxiety and stress. One just needs to be firmly consistent with this self-care.

My favorite go to's for self- care are:
exercise
fresh air
slow deep breaths
walks
uplifting music
art
warm green tea
reaching out to friends
attending a support group
yoga
meditation
reading uplifting material
fresh juice and vegetables 
juicing vegetables 
healthy smoothies
laughter
natural supplements (under a dr's care) 
drinking sufficient water all day in between meals
positive self-talk 
being around like-minded and uplifting people
adequate sleep 
journaling
Pursue your passions!!!!!
prayer

I believe that keeping a positive attitude and inner spirit is the best thing that you can do- as well as to reach out to others who care about you and others who are going through a similar journey.

Hello. I hope that you are having a good day. 

I want to share my special moments over the weekend. 

I went out of state to celebrate my Dad's 85th birthday! 

My brothers traveled also so that we could celebrate together.

It was so very special! We laughed and talked about fun memories- while making new memories.

We never know how much longer that we have with loved ones- or even with our own lives.

I want to encourage you to treasure special moments in your life, how small they may be. 

Little things often become big things.

Hello. Do you self judge? 

Are you hard on yourself? 

Ask yourself what ways that you are judgemental about yourself. 

Do you feel that it is in a healthy way or in a critical and irrational way?

I want to encourage you to journal about your thoughts on self judgement. Then self reflect on what you wrote. 

Use these writings to work on yourself and any unhealthy core values that you feel that focus on. Reflect on what you feel the root reasons are and how you can move forward in working through them in a positive manner.

Happy August! I like August because it reminds me that fall is around the corner. 

It is also my dad's, a granddaughter's and my mother-n-law's birthdays. I enjoy reaching out to loved ones on their birthdays!

I am about to visit my father for his 85th birthday!

A gentle reminder that life is precious and time is valuable! 

Make the most of today!
