I am... I can... I will...
A Young Mother's Journey through Triple Negative Breast Cancer & Life
Writer
These are some reviews I've received from various readers and authors who read my book.
"I had very little sleep last night. Because I read it from cover to cover in one gulp.I laughed, I cried and I haven't stopped thinking about it today. Your journey is incredible and the way you've documented it is so beautiful and profound and raw.Loved it, loved it, bloody loved it."
Tess Woods - Author of Love at First Flight
"I have a love / dislike relationship with Social Media. My dislike reasons are negative & unhelpful so I won't go further there. However, this week I received these two books that I bought recently which reminds me how amazing & helpful it can be ... & how strong & powerful women supporting each other can be.
I'm thinking that most people know "Constance Hall" - the Mother of all Queens. Powerful. Honest. Raw. Inspiring. Grounded. Her real life posts often make me smile & laugh & applaud! I can not wait to read this book.
On a much smaller scale "Bianca Plunkett Gooley" --- a girl I went to High School with. We weren't in the same "group" so were never friends (as such) but her book & story popped up on my personal newsfeed by a mutual friend who I only met two years ago. Such a small world. She self published her book of such a powerful journey "A young mothers journey through triple negative breast cancer & life" ... & I just had to instantly buy it to support her. Once again I can't wait to read this .... I feel there may be tears reading this & I am sure I'm going to see another strong, raw & inspiring woman.
So today, I'm going to say that I'm grateful for the world of social media & the positive things that come from it .... without it, I wouldn't have found these two women & books & not only would I be less inspired but I wouldn't be able to support.
.... & today I'm sending all my love to women of all ages out there. If you are having a good day, bad day or the worst day of your life (I hope not!), I want you to know you are enough. You are loved. You are not alone.
Tell the special women in your life that. It's important to not get swooped up by little things, petty dramas & over busying our lives so we don't have time for our women friends .... because you never know who might need you or one day you might need them.
Happy Wednesday!
Take Care of You,
