Birthdays are a big deal because they’re like your own personal new year. It’s a great time to set goals and intentions for your next trip around the sun. But as the excitement of your birthday starts to wane, your confidence in your goals might as well. That’s why I’m a fan of birthday affirmations. They help you establish the right mindset on Day One so you can stay in the right headspace for the next 12 months.

Cancer sucks. You don’t have to be a survivor of the disease to know this. But as awful as something like breast cancer can be, believe it or not, good things can actually come from a bout with this devastating illness. When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer you become a member of a club you never wanted to be a part of, but your new sisters are some of the best people you’ll ever meet.
