Post #19 - Join me on this Journey!
I’ll soon be sharing my passion project, ShareGratefulHearts.com, and I'm both excited and anxious about how it will be received. However, I'm more excited than anything to share my creations, hoping to uplift someone who needs a little encouragement or a reminder that they are loved and thought of. What started out as an gift of gratefulness to my 2 doctors the morning of my double mastectomy, has turned into a passion of sharing faith and love in more ways. (I invite you to

Post #18 -Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October 1st. I didn't anticipate the emotions I would have today.... This month - Breast Cancer Awareness month and all of the attention around this disease. Supporting others and the concept of "Breast Cancer Awareness" month every October over all of these years and today, this month now represents me. That realization shakes me. The fight, the meaning, the community... the pink ribbon... All of that now represents me. So today it hits me hard and I am feeling very emotion

Post #17 - What all my "waiting" turned into...
Grateful Hearts provided me the distraction that I needed during this chapter of my life. Everything changed on Feb. 11 th  for me. Starting at that moment when I heard those words that completely changed my life. After hearing those words - I was no longer who I once was. In the days, weeks, months to follow – there was a lot of new experiences for me and also a lot of waiting. Waiting for my next appt to come up… waiting for mammogram results… waiting for my phone to ring

Post #16 - Be Strong and Courageous....
July 15th, 2025 - my second surgery. I've been 'dreading' this day for months since it was scheduled. My first surgery (double mastectomy) was incredibly intense, and the recovery was long. The past two months, I've finally been feeling better, with less pain and more movement, and I didn't want to regress. I was finally feeling more mobile, and now I had to face a second surgery to remove the temporary expanders in my body and replace them with permanent breast implants. Dre

Post #15 - Sharing with others
February 11 marked a pivotal moment in my life, a day that transformed my entire existence. The moment I received my diagnosis, it felt as though the world around me shifted dramatically. My mindset underwent a profound change; my faith was both challenged and also strengthened, my view of others evolved, and my perception of myself was reshaped. This experience pushed me to become more open and sensitive to everything and everyone surrounding me. I began to realize that indi

Post #12: I was / I am
April 20th Easter Sunday - I love this day. I love all holidays, but this year, this holiday and the reason behind it really resonates with me. We went to church this morning. I always love when we go, and today's message was beautiful and hit home. The miracle of Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from the tomb after the "Season of Doubt" after Jesus died on the cross the day before. Hearing the word "doubt" really triggered emotions with me. Thinking back on these past several
