Background

The reason I am starting this blog is to share my story.  I am not unique, but I am like you.  Searching for answers in this world.  We may even share similar stories.  Someone suggested for me to write a book but that was a little overwhelming.  It was suggested by my nephew, Michael to start a blog.  I wasn't thrilled by the idea but I thought I would give it a try, maybe someday it will turn into a book. I am not much of a writer.  Every time I write a journal, I am so critical of my writing, that I stop writing.  I am hoping that using this platform, that I won't let my perfectionism show through.

So here I am, a 47 year old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Doesn't seem as scary as it once did when I was first diagnosed.  But here I am on the other side, in remission for the past 6 months.  I never thought this would ever happen to me, but who does?  This is going to be story of my life, the ups, the downs.  Please feel free to share my story.  I want my blog to go viral so that no one is alone.  It isn't going to be all about my cancer diagnosis but some of it will.  This is about one human getting through life with the ups and downs.   You may not be able to relate to my full story but I am sure you can relate to the humanity of life. 

The reason why the blog is called "Love Wins" is because my sister gave me a bracelet with those very words to raise awareness of breast cancer.  It is a poetic statement about my breast cancer journey.  The reason I am posting as scissors is that I had saved a name of my book or new blog on my phone under notes.  Which I thought was going to be so fantastic, but when I look back in my notes, the only thing that I found was a note with one word, scissors.  I am sure you have done that, thought that technology was going to work for you and it doesn't.  Plus my memory is stuck on a channel that is blank, no clue why I wrote that word.  I don't need any new scissors for the house, have plenty.  I thought about that word, it reminded me of the day I cut my hair short so I didn't have to see my long strands of my beautiful hair fall out.  Sorry, getting a head of myself.  This is will be in a later blog.

So sit back and relax.  This should be a interesting journey about how Love Wins.  I hope you enjoy the journey.  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.  The next chapter will be on the start of my life.  Some of you know me today, a happy go lucky full of love type of woman.  Well, I wasn't always like that.  Stay tuned.
