An ode to my peeps
‘Come up and recuperate, you can relax and rest and get your body functioning again.’ This was the gift from one of my besties as I deal with my immediate reality, that and the fact that we can share our favourite Gin, chat, catch-up, sleep, FB, Insta and watch Netflix – however, we’ll leave that for another time. So for this particular post, I dedicate this to all my peeps.

"Yes, I'll have a drink with that." How not to let others unload their crap on you.
If I’ve heard it once, I’ll seriously have heard it quite a few times. You know, someone else’s story! Whilst I’ve always had a compassionate ear for others’ misfortunate tales of woe, I’ve sympathised and listened without judgement, but now, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time for you to unload your shit on me. (I do believe that was a line from a song!)

A positive mindset
There is a lot to be said about surrounding oneself with a positive mindset. I’m a firm believer that it’s the mind that constitutes our attitudes and values, direction in life as well as not needing the psychological abyss of the black hole of the subconsciousness.

Cancer wont get me...
I really love looking at pictures of Zebra’s, with their soulful eye’s and quiet demeanour. They don’t harm, they stay together, they are strong and weak simultaneously. The image of this beautiful Zebra was taken from my hospital room. And although I would generally gaze at its majestic head, today this zebra remind me of a cage, with its black and white bars, because today is really when the truth sunk in. Today I am in a cage within my body. I have cancer.
