Keeping friends and family updated on my journey to beating breast cancer. Friday, March 8, 2013. Today was going to be just a regular day at MOPS (Mothers Of PreschoolerS), which is a moms group I go to that meets about twice a month at Wilshire Baptist. I did get a heads up that they might make an announcement about my recent 1-year ‘cancerversary’ milestone, but little did I know what they had in store!

I definitely was sore all over from the run and cl...

Why have I let myself question my decision thinking, "wh...
