The bird on my face is a Phoenix means rebirth- my cancer has caused me to be reborn into someone new but still retaining my core, the rose gold skull means death- which is my cancer that I'm fighting, the roses means love and positivity- I am so fortunate to be surrounded by love and my positivity blooms like a flower, and the red on my lips means power and strength- red/burgundy is my power color and I feel like I have the power and strength to outlive and ultimately beat this cancer.
On the day I decided to take control of my cancer by cutting my hair my family and friends got together to give me this amazing gift. I feel so blessed and watch this video on my good days and bad days. I have loved Jesse McCartney since I was 5 years old, so to have him do this for me with the help of my family and friends made my heart sing!
Recently, I was able to ring the Victory bell at my Hospital. Typically, you can ring the bell if you're in remission. But they let me ring it anyways. I know that deep down in my heart I CAN CER VIVE!
I love singing! my mom always taught me that you should always sing loud and proud. my friends and I would get together for Karaoke parties that my house. They were some of the most fun, I miss doing those!
Every year I look forward to going to the Renaissance Fair, it is so much fun!
