About Me

At the start of 2020 I felt like I was on top of my game. 

I had my own place, I had a job that validated my skills, and I had a new relationship. Things were finally "on the right track" after I spent the last 10+ years living like a vagabond, jumping from one country to the next without any real direction or focus. (I just wanted to live and travel!) 

I felt so complete and content with my new life that I let a thought cross my mind: If it was my time to go, I'd be okay with it. When I look back, I wonder if that was the moment my body decided to self destruct. 

Then the world changed. We were hit with a global pandemic, the world went into lockdown, and we all learned just how truly connected we are  —  yet separated more than ever.

During lockdown I was thankfully still employed but I was on an endless and destructive cycle of coffee, wine, take out and carbs. And the worst part was I could no longer do hot yoga, which had been my health lifeline for the last 7 years. My body had come to depend on it as a method of detox. 

Like everyone else during the pandemic, I started questioning my life choices  —  I'm still questioning my life choices. I knew I needed to make some radical changes, at least health wise, but I didn't know what it was going to take to make them. (When you contemplate questions like these the Universe always answers, so be careful.)

Then I found a lump in my right breast. At first I wasn't worried because I get lumps in my breasts all the time, which end up being fibroadenomas. But this one felt different. So, I had it checked out, pandemic and all. 

Then on Sunday, June 7, 2020, while I was out on a walk my worst fears came true. I got a call from my family doctor. As soon as he asked me if this was a good time to talk I knew the news wasn't good. 

"I received the results of your biopsy. Ugh... it's cancer."

And that's when everything changed for me.

Happy healing and enjoy the ride :)
