The days following the diagnosis had my emotions trekking through the Amazon.
Twenty-six years of darkness - shame, fear, isolation. Hiding behind all that I was or could be, too scared to confront the enemy.
Like a looking glass into our soul, being transparent and showing your inner light to others is not something easily done.
The hot flashes are unbearable some days. Like combustion blistering deep within, ripping my clothes off is never out of the question.
Almost five years ago, the spirit within rattled my inner warrior to do something more with life.
Life is full of surprises. Just when you are used to things the way they are, circumstances have a tendency to change.
