| Description: | What have I learned? It isn’t about the cancer, it isn’t about what it has the ability to do to our bodies, it isn’t about the treatments or the part of us it takes away; its about the journey. Its about rediscovering the parts of yourself that you never ever knew or dreamed existed, and giving them room to grow and room to take flight. Its about seeing life through cancers eyes and being better because of it, being more whole and more alive despite it. Its about living. Sure there are going to be days that we feel like a Mac truck just bulldozed over us. There are going to be days when you look in the mirror and think “Who is that person, and what did she do with my hair?” But there are going to be days that we are fully alive and energized too, its part of the journey. Its part of life. But its not the only part. Its not the defining part I am still a mother. I am still a wife. I am still a daughter. I am still a daughter of the King. I am still the same Heather that I was before I found out that I had cancer, just a little more alot more mature and a heck of alot less naive. I still have the same heart, the same dreams, the same desires. I am still me, cancer cant take that away. It only made me stronger. |

more than “pretty packaging”
From the cradle to college tell your daughters the truth about life before they believe the cultures lies. Easton and I have been discussing pretty deep issues as of late. Sex, dating, guys, etc. I have to tell you that it was a little uneasy for me at first because the fact that she is growing up really has taken me by surprise! She is no longer a little girl. I try to emphasize that sex is a beautiful thin

courage unwrapped
“Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” – John Wayne When I first was diagnosed with brain cancer, the first few days took courage to breathe. I ate, slept, dreamed and pee’d cancer. I was terrified, and at the same time I was at peace. {like those two even remotely go together!} I remember waking up every day and shouting internally “One more day!” You see things clearer and with more passion. You live life with such anticipation of the next moment. You truly live with courage. The newness of the diagnosis has worn off, and my daily routine has gone b

Perfect People
“When nobody around you seems to measure up, it’s time to check your yardstick.” ~Bill Lemley That quote has stuck with me since the first time I read it. I often have to check my yardstick because someone is failing me or not living up to my expectations/standards. And then I think about how many times I have tried to live up to someone else’s standards and failed miserably. I remember when I first told you guys that I had brain cancer, the pressure was so intense to post positively. I felt that all eyes were on me and that if I failed {whether spiritually, emotionally, or health wise}, I was failing you. I have

Em-O-Lantern
When we asked Em what she wanted to be this year for halloween {yes, we allow them to dress up for Halloween} her first response was “Hello Kitty”, but needless to say there are not many “skinny as a rail” hello kitty costumes on ebay {or anywhere for that matter}. Because that idea was a bust, her second choice was a pumpkin. My mom got creative at Target and bought an toddler jack-o-lantern custom, some orange and black sock tights, a black t-shirt and a
