Take it one day at a time - this was the message I Take it one day at a time - this was the message I received from Coach Chuck Pagano. My boy @the_other_pgh_kid connected us when I was undergoing chemo at the same hospital Pagano had undergone treatment just a few years earlier. I was floored that he took the time to send me a note of encouragement. Matt. 6:34 says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I want to pass along this simple message to anyone who may be feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. Just take it one day at a time.⁠ *⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #melstrong #survivor #cancersurvivor #thrivingaftercancer #overcomer #youngadultcancer #bonemarrowtransplant #stemcelltransplant #throughitALL #blessed #motivation #inspiration #encouragement #beencouraged #uplift #hope #faith #believe #maskon #wearamask #photooftheday #ootd #wharfdc #wharflife #dclife

Quiet the mind and the soul will speak. Intentiona Quiet the mind and the soul will speak. Intentionally reserving the first 15-30 minutes each morning to pray and meditate before rushing into the day centers me. I am not a morning person and was initially⁠ dreading waking up earlier to make this a part of my daily routine. But, since I've added it to my morning ritual, I find myself more energized in the morning and calm throughout the day. It's the equivalent of a cup of morning coffee for my soul. Do you have a morning ritual?⁠ *⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #melstrong #inspiration #hope #peace #serenity #faith #believe #bible #meditate #pray #mondaymeditation #morningmeditation #meditation #morningritual #healthandwellness #mentalhealth #foodforthesoul #visualartist

As I wrap up my birthday week, I've lost count of As I wrap up my birthday week, I've lost count of how many things for which I am thankful. Three years B.C. (Before Cancer) when I was living in Chi-town, I attended a 5am prayer service the week of my birthday. At the end of the service, notecards were passed out and the Pastor asked everyone to write down things they were grateful for. At the time, the country was in the midst of a recession and I had far less than I have now. Yet, I ran out of space on the notecard. That card has since morphed into a journal, but I still carry that notecard with me as a constant reminder that no matter the season, there is so much to be thankful for. Drop a 🙌🏾 in the chat if you agree. ⁠ *⁠ *⁠ *⁠ #melstrong #motivation #thankful #grateful #purpose #picoftheday #selfie #lifestyle #lifestylephotography #fashion #ootd #survivor #cancersurvivor #thrivingaftercancer #youngadultcancer #cancerfree #throughitALL

If you stumble make it part of the dance. Did you If you stumble make it part of the dance. Did you ever watch the painter Bob Ross on PBS? It was one of the only shows I could watch as a kid and he would say, "This is not a mistake, it's a happy accident." As I wind down the last few days of thirty great, I am truly embracing all of the happy accidents. Life is too short to get upset when things don't go exactly as planned. You have to learn appreciate the canvas you've been given and let the brushstrokes create a beautiful masterpiece.
