“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

This was my first quote shared on Liv & Let. My aunt’s best friend Kelly found out about my diagnosis and she began supporting me right away.  Every morning I would open my inbox to a “Quote of the Day.” Some quotes were serious, some were inspirational and many were funny and gave me a good laugh.  I can’t express in words what it meant to have this support every day.  The emails helped push me though to the next day for almost an entire year - through chemo, surgery, radiation, reconstruction and my last herceptin. 

I wish I could send you all inspiration, hope and a smile every day, but even Kelly had to take a break on the weekend!  I decided that I would share motivation and inspiration once a week.  Mondays are always tough in general after a weekend and the start of a new week but also this was the day right before I would have to go in for a chemotherapy treatment.  Just feels right to be there for you all on Monday. 

I hope these posts have inspired you, motivated you, helped make you feel like you are not alone and given you hope! If there is something I can do to add to each quote and/ or post let me know! This is for you! 

If you have been supported by any stories, quotes or words please share them so I can share them with the community as well! 

Thank you to the support teams and caregivers who come through even with the smallest of gestures. You’ll never know how much it really does help!
