As we enter a new month, I would like to share more inspiring words I walked away with from the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation benefit. Hoda Kotb shared, “if you survive breast cancer, or anything such as divorce, a loss, if you are still standing you get four words - YOU CAN’T SCARE ME.” “Take it with you wherever you go,” she exclaimed. I thought a lot about these words - I even played back the recording I had. Wow, had cancer helped me to not be so scared? Believe me I am still anxious every day and the anticipation of something new or unknown gives me chills, but taking risks, being a voice and standing up for myself has become a little less scary. These are words that I had already carried within and along with Hoda, I hope you can say to all those things ahead that YOU DON’T SCARE ME! You are strong, brave, resilient and a beautiful/handsome warrior who is a true inspiration!
