Your body is the sanctuary of your soul. It’s been holding your truth, storing your pain, and remembering what your mind was taught to forget. And now—it’s dying to tell the story.

And what do I mean by that?

Well, let's think about it...Do you suffer from tension headaches? Have you ever had to stop doing something because you just couldn't stand that long, walk that far, or bend a particular way? What about this...Pressure from holding yourself in check has built up so that you explode over a seemingly random and straightforward interaction.

Your body is dying to tell you something.

In my case, routine mammograms were holding my truth. My hidden truth had no warning signs.

Three separate times, I was diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram screening. No lumps or warning hints.

I know I am extremely fortunate to live in a time when I could get wonderful treatment at the early stage of breast cancer.

My body clearly held wisdom for me. I question whether I needed to learn this lesson three times? In each instance, I realized that I had abandoned myself entirely and disappeared into someone else's life.

And you might say, that's exactly what a good wife/mom/daughter/etc. should do.

Right? Aren't we supposed to make lives better for our loved ones? Yes, to a point.

We can't give from an empty cup and need to make ourselves happy first, and then take care of our loved ones.

Perhaps, by sharing my truth, you will be inspired to take more heed of the areas in your body that are dying to have you tell your story.

After my second diagnosis, I started publishing my journal entries as blogs and began mentoring other women to discover the Soul stories they are here to share.

Now that I've had a third diagnosis, I am more determined to share my voice and help other women own their Soul stories. I am now blessed to offer a sanctuary for the soul. I guide women who have lived through things—hard things, beautiful things, ordinary and extraordinary things—to claim their voice, shape their story, and make a difference writing the truth of who they are.

I love my life. I write, mentor, speak and host women's creativity retreats. By nurturing myself, I'm able to be a role model and offer hope to other women that they can make different choices in order to thrive in a life they love.
