Ten year cancerversary & five year book anniversary video!

It's so exciting for me to share this video! 🎉

On 9/22/16 I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. A few years later, it progressed to be through out my body (lungs, liver, spine, adrenal gland, hip) and in the winter of 2019 I was referred to Hospice and actively dying. It was looking pretty dire! 😳

Miraculously, over a period of years and a combination of allopathic (standard), non-toxic medicine and a ton of inner healing, I am elated to say I have been NED (no evidence of disease) for four years now! 🎊

Miracles are possible!

This year, in the fall of 2026, I am celebrating 10 years since my late stage diagnosis. I am so grateful to be alive! ♥️

I am also celebrating the 5 year anniversary of my best selling memoir sharing my story of healing cancer: Grace, Grit & Gratitude: A Cancer Thriver's Journey from Hospice to Full Recovery with the Healing Power of Horses which was published in August of 2021.

Publishing my book was a huge feat and took tremendous discipline and focus. When I worked so hard to self publish my book I told myself that if I helped inspire one person than I would have done my job. Since it's publication, people from all over the globe have reached out to me sharing how much my story has helped them through difficult times! This is indeed a wondrous thing.

I hope you enjoy my vulnerable share here. I recorded this video weeks after an incredibly damaging Category 2 hurricane on the beloved island of Kaua'i Hawaii where I live, so I am a bit cracked open and extra teary sharing my story here. My story of healing involves processing a great amount of grief with the death of many of my beloveds, so sharing it in video form like this is a tender experience for me.

Here’s to miracles and defying the odds!
