It's so hard to believe, but a year ago today I had this idea to start a blog to document my experiences in hopes to not only help other people through their tough times, but to create empathy for what we as cancer survivors go through as I shed light on the life changing lessons I've endured. To be quite honest, it was also an outlet to help me heal both emotionally and spiritually. Being open and vulnerable with what I put out in the world was a little scary, but it felt good to deal with the good and the bad experiences head on. No fluff, just complete honesty. In the beginning I was so worried about running out of things to write about. What I quickly found, was I have so many ideas, stories and experiences that I want to share that I've barely scratched the surface. This blog has been life saving and life changing for me and I couldn't be more grateful for the love and support I've received from so many of you. What started out as just a few of my closest pals reading and checking in on me has evolved into new friendships and a tribe of humans learning and growing with each other. Killing It Friday is helping me discover my passions. I was honored and humbled this year to have my words quoted and shared in different forums and that in itself was an incredible highlight for me. I'm learning so much from all of you and I'm honored to be able to have this outlet to share what you all teach me. From the very bottom of my heart and depths of my soul THANK YOU. Just like me, Killing It Friday is a work in progress. I feel like with age, we both just keep getting better! I've made some changes and fun additions to my website that I hope you will take a look at! I'm always the first to say that I'm not really sure where this is taking me or what my end game is, BUT I truly believe that just like my journey thus far, I will know where to take it when I know. The universe will keep guiding me and helping me figure out what to do next. I vow to continue to follow the advice I was given last year of "Just Do You". So far, it's lead me exactly where I'm meant to be.
Cheers to all of you for hanging in here with me....Cheers to finding light in the darkness....cheers to sharing, learning and growing together. I will forever be grateful for you helping me to spread BOTH of my wings in order to fly. Happy One Year!! -M
