Valentines day

Last year on this day, I had cancer. Lovey took me to Ireland on this day.....and I had a blast . but I HAD CANCER

NOW

I DON'T!!!!

so this year I went to my old chemo place and gave the nurses some bark that I made.

and asked them for 4 women that needed a vday package/gift a made. They pointed at some and I went to them and told them to be strong...My speech went something like this....last year I was here and after many test results not in my favor, this year I am not....so be strong. be brave.

and when i left, I bawled like a baby because I am soooooooooooooo thankful to be on this side of cancer.

so here are picks of the bags i made....btw they are all items i used during chemo

this bag, a crossword book, bandannas, and a quote

the quote is:

I hope and pray it helped them.....

A better person

so this old friend of mine was a breath of fresh air. She is all about everyone else being happy. I love. I have loved her forever. I even wrote a college essay on her. She will always be my inspiration. always. When she was younger she was in a horrific car accident and had 4521254 surgeries on her.....and she is sooooooooo happy. I want to be like her. She just makes you and laugh.

I took this  photo many years ago at butterfly world. Its one of my favorites.ever


She has inspired me to do something for vday. I was already baking circus bark and taking it over to all my cancer Dr.'s and now I am making current chemo patients little bags for vday.

Its al good

My brother quotes Tony Robbins often and one thing he always tells me that sooooooooooooooooo helps my relationships is People dont usually do things for a malicious purpose. I HAVE to remember this almost daily. So recently my husband was REALLY giving me a hard time for buying fast food on therapy days. I told him how I would not eat and then start shaking and have too eat. I thought this was a GREAT reason to have fast food 3 days per week.And i was sooooooo mad that he didnt get it. Then my brother reminded me again the above. And he is right. So I packed a healthy lunch and Im loosing weight AND my husband is super proud of me. He said that we are paying over 2k for therapy so I need to do the diet too which does not include fast food!!!

soooooo Random: but Im kinda nervous about vday. Last year I had Cancer and the year before I had no husband......But my therapist reminded me that some women get really great gifts on vday but have crappy husband all year. I have the opposite ....so if he doesnt rock vday dont be mad. Also be so happy that you dont have cancer this vday!!!! I complete change from last year!!

Yum yum

I got this recipe off of Pinterest like most of my recipes...And now I know why, it was great!!! It was so yummy and I got it from here...
