Artful Vino
CancerCare Fundraisers
I started this journey as a means of redirecting my feelings when I had my first Mammogram and Ultrasound. I was told there was something there that was 'Probably Benign' but they were going to watch it. Every 6 months I go back for a new scan and hold my breath.
​​
While I was processing my thoughts and feelings, I realized that there were ample people in this world, and my community, that knew all too well what I was experiencing. Except I had been given more optimistic news.
And that is when I discovered CancerCare. ​

I was no stranger to Cancer. I have watched people fight Cancer and win. I have watched people fight Cancer and lose.
​
I wish that we had known about CancerCare when we experienced those wins and losses. It would have made the load lighter to carry.
​
These fundraising efforts are as much for them as they are for me. The people that showed me what courage looks like. We're fighting back with positivity.
​
Artful Vino is a way for us to reconnect with family, create something beautiful, all while spreading awareness and fighting the good fight.
This book is available for purchase through Amazon Direct Publish, as a Paperback and E-Book. It can be purchased here.

Embracing Ambiguity
Embracing Ambiguity: From Fear to Fight is an extremely short book, but one I felt was necessary to write.
​
As said on the main page, I am familiar with watching people suffer with cancer. But then it became apparent that Breast Cancer was now on both sides of the family. There were no indications that it was genetic, but out of an abundance of caution my sister and I began our screenings early.
We both had to fight to be screened, me even more so at 29 Years Old. Our doctor ordered this, period. The end.
Reading the phrase 'Probably Benign' threw me into fear induced tizzy. Being diagnosed young with cancer had already been a huge fear. I spiraled, but then I found my center again.
This book is the result of my spiral, and helped me find an inner peace. I talked it out with myself, recognized my fears and feelings were valid! And I can only hope I help someone else find that same peace.
