You have breast cancer. I will never forget the day those words came out of @geraldsaluti mouth. I think about them often, not in a sad way, but in an empowering way. When I look in the mirror and I see my scars from all 26 surgeries it reminds me that I am a badass woman. Cancer was a gift that allowed me to meet amazing people. As blessed as I feel to have survived I know how much I needed the support of my friends and family. Thank you social media fam for empowering me and making me stronger, you all have played a huge role in my recovery physically and mentally. We hear very often how social media is negative so it's nice to share with the world that sometimes it helps some people. Today my ex-sister-in-law and dear friend Dawn is starting chemo to begin her battle with cancer. I want to ask you to please send a prayer and good vibes her way. I know how much they work, of you would like to donate here is the link https://www.gofundme.com/lets-help-dawn-fight-breast-cancer Thank you! #bekindallthetime #love #breastcancersurvivor Photo by @benkanephoto

Believe. Believe in yourself. Believe in your purpose on this beautiful earth even if you haven't found it yet. Believe that you can overcome anything. Believe that love will beat hate.

There are days when I wake up and wonder... what kind of day am I going to have? Then I realize that is up to me. Do not let anyone or anything control your happiness. You have the power to control your mind and thoughts so make them good. Have a kick ass day and #bekindallthetime . . . Photo by @eyagoda #omstars (at POE Fairhaven)
Hi friends!! I’m really excited to take over @lifeisgoodco's feed for the next 2 days to introduce you to my#HeroesOfOptimism - people who have inspired me. They would love to hear about people who changed how you see the world for the better. What I love is that when YOU honor your hero, Life is Good will donate $1 to support childcare professionals who are heroes of optimism for kids in need. How awesome is that? Share a story at www.lifeisgood.com/heroes - and follow their Instagram to hear the stories.#GROWtheGood . . . Photo by @eyagoda (at POE Fairhaven)
•I wish my body will allow me to practice yoga daily. •I wish I didn't need this colostomy bag. •I wish my chest wasn't so tight so I could breath better. These are the constant thoughts in my head. I wish, I wish, I wish... This Sunday morning when I woke up I said to myself fuck that shit, today I'm happy to be alive so shut up you stupid voice in my head. #love #livingwithanostomy #breastcancersurvivor . . .

Before something doesn't matter at all anymore, there was a time when it (whatever "it" might be) was the center of the universe. Did "it" change or did I change? Both did. Photo by @eyagoda #omstars (at POE Fairhaven)

Good morning! Getting ready for my morning practice and could not find my @plexusyogawheel... I guess watching tv on them is also something you can do. #gofigure #salutikids #plexusyogawheel
Walked into the store and this wine bar was just sitting there with my name on it. Lol I had to do a yoga pose. Too bad I don't have room for it in my new house. Happy Saturday enjoy your day #wine #winelover #saturdaylover Ps. @yoga_girl this made me think of you. 😝
Happy Birthday America! I love the 4th of July. Friends, family, fireworks, food and fine. I mean wine. 😝 #fourthofjuly #newjersey
Friendship is no different than anything else in life, you get what you give. Tag your BFF!
I have been holding my tears all day. I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, all I know is that we must not stay quiet. To quote my friend @bexlife "The violence is not new; it's the cameras that are new." . . . Photo by my friend @freshfur #AltonSterling #philandrocastile #bethelight
