Here is a little teaser from my book…enjoy!
When I started putting this book together, I was twenty-four years old. Less than two weeks away from my twenty-fifth birthday, and eleven months after my first surgery for stage three breast cancer. It originally began as a journal when I was diagnosed. Then, as I grew more depressed and pieces of my life started to fall apart and affect me more, I stopped writing. I don’t know why. Maybe I was too sad to write. Maybe I didn’t want to remember.
Temporary Nipple Tattoos!
My oncologist (Dr. Philamena McAndrew) just shared this website with me http://www.rubonnipples.com/
How cool is this?!?! For women who can’t afford or choose NOT to get nipple tattoos, these are so life like and will add so much confidence in intimate situations, or even something simple like a spa day or the gym shower. No props lost to the ladies who rock the nipple-less boobies with all the moxy in the world! But I know that is hard for a lot of women.
A wedding stolen by cancer, crowdsourced, and given back (Rebel Belle) – a note from Elysia
What would we have done this week without Laura Guerrie from Rebel Belle Weddings?! http://rebelbelleweddings.com/2013/04/a-wedding-stolen-by-cancer-crowdsourced-and-given-back/
We have been working together since the second week of April on creating the Wedding of a Lifetime for cancer patient, Jennifer Batugo and her fiance Brian Gargano. This journey of creation has been a learning experience like no other, and proof that human kindness and generosity has not gone out of style. In fact, it seems to be trending more than ever!
