Giving Back

A Year and a half after I went through being pregnant with cancer, I finally get to GIVE BACK - and help others struggling with the same type of fears. I am elated to announce, that after going through some training I will now be a support source to women who need it. I am excited to work with Hope for Two - Pregnant with Cancer Network!




It is not easy going through chemotherapy while carrying a baby. My wish is to give someone hope- and let them know that they have someone else to talk to . Someone who cried a million tears, just as they did. My heart aches just thinking about it.
















When they called me for my interview I told them, " It would be unethical, in my eyes, to pass up this opportunity. It is my responsibility to be there and talk to someone. To let them know they are not alone"

 In closing , When you become a mother, you nurture and protect your baby....From the very moment you find out you are pregnant. You begin to dream of the day she or he is born. The birthdays, school, vacations......everything is flashing before you. I am thankful ABOVE ALL that I have been blessed with the opportunity to live and help others .

Blessings!

Well, anyone who is close to us knows that we have had a rough year and a half.

Me being sick, People saying and doing hurtful things, Having to move while going through Cancer treatments .....It seemed as though we couldn't catch a break. But, for all of the craziness - God answered our prayers.

We were gifted a trip to Atlantis Bahamas ! It was an offer that we could not pass up...I mean a FREE Vacation?! Yes, please. Olivia was so excited to go on an airplane and see a beach for the first time. What an awesome first family vacation. 

When we arrived in Nassau, we were picked up in a Stretch LIMO! Olivia and Sophia were so blown away!!!! The look on their faces were priceless.

45 Minutes later we arrived at Atlantis , It was absolutely marvelous. Such a gorgeous Lobby. Our room view was absolutely breathtaking....Palm trees and Green Blue water for miles. Olivia loved the bed - even jumped up and down on it as soon as she was done gawking at the view from our balcony.
We could even see sharks in a nearby pool from our balcony. The weather was absolutely beautiful. high  80's all week. It is a memory that I certainly will cherish forever! I have hundreds of pictures  ...here are a few to hilight!
