Hey, y’all! Happy Thankful Thursday!!

I was reflecting over My Journey (Blood Cancer Survivor), and in particular this time, my hair journey. In the words of India.Arie, I am NOT my hair, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss my hair. My locs had grown out beautifully, and except for one point when I noticed they were beginning to look a little thin in places (this was a few months before my diagnosis), I was enjoying the length, the weight and the warmth. 😃

When I made the decision to cut off the remaining locs (because I was basically bald in the back, but my locs were still holding on in the front, and essentially long enough to cover the back), It took a while to be comfortable showing my bald head. It was such a drastic change for me. I wasn’t ashamed, just reluctant to be that free. Plus, I was always cold because this happened right as late Fall and early winter was coming. 🤦🏽😂

These are just a few shots I took along the way and eventually got more comfortable with. Above everything else, I was thankful not only for my life, but for the hair He was blessing me to have again. I thanked Him for giving me strength with each new day. I thanked Him for letting my smile remain in spite of everything I had gone through and experienced. I thanked Him for allowing me to know and remember just how blessed I was and am. I thanked Him for the faith that always remained. I dare NOT trust Him. Did I have weak moments? You bet I did! I am human and will be the first to let you know that. But the JOY of the Lord is my strength. It sustains me. It holds me up. It keeps me going. It helps me to get up every day, even on those days when I don’t really wanna move. I’d gladly hibernate like a bear if I could! 😂 But I’m also grateful and thankful that I’m able to move, walk, wash and dress myself, etc.As this journey continues, my desire is to continue sharing it with you. Be encouraged on whatever journey you’re on, and know that you’re not alone. Be blessed, y’all!

P.S. If you haven't seen the videos from my journey, feel free to check them out here on my channel under the playlist entitled "My Journey".

Hey, y'all! As many of you may know, I am a Blood Cancer Survivor. As of September 11th, I was told I am still in remission and that my numbers look good. Ain't God alright?!

Recently Blood Cancer United held their Light The Night walk in my city. Although I wasn't physically able to walk that night, I have been continuing to Fight the Fight via my fundraising efforts in support of the cause. Every little bit counts and if you're able to participate, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hearing stories of children like Sofia, who because of a routine blood test, her family found out that their normally bubbly three-year-old’s blood cell counts were way off. Now, she’s in kindergarten – and in treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. While Sofia’s diagnosis was traumatic and life-changing, her parents will always remember how moved they were by the wave of community and support it brought their way.

You can be a part of this community for blood cancer patients through your support of Light the Night. Money raised allows Blood Cancer United, formerly LLS, to fund treatments for patients who are suffering from all forms of blood cancers. Over the past 20 years, they have helped fund over 70% of FDA-approved blood cancer treatments.

Please donate today and help us shine a light for blood cancer patients and their families. And feel free to share with others. Thanks so much!
