About last night... It was a privilege to be in the company of these beautiful souls for a yummy dinner filled with story sharing, emotions, support and love. I am so grateful for these women whose stories are all different but equally as inspiring as the next. We are all so excited to officially be the #wisconsinbreasties 💕 Thanks babes, until next time! ⁣ ⁣ Other WI ladies, more information is coming very soon on official @the_breasties events, meetups and fun!

With one week back at work under my belt, I feel good. I did it! 🙌🏼 So I thought I’d share a few things that have helped me get back to my old work self. ⁣ ⁣ ✨Take your time ⁣ ✨Set expectations for yourself ⁣ ✨Make your space your sanctuary ⁣ ✨Don’t forget “me time”⁣ ⁣ Everyone has had to re-enter life after going through something hard, so this feels pretty relatable. Hope you enjoy a more upbeat post from me - I’m sure grateful to be able to write about something other than sadness. The post is linked in my bio otherwise head to stayingmartha.com ❤️

The last time I spent time in the sun, I ended up with the worst rash and itchy skin of my life. It was painful, embarrassing and another cruel joke cancer played on me. The doctors were puzzled by it at first but it turned out that chemo plus sunshine was not a good combo for me. It lasted the entire last 6 weeks of #taxol and put a major damper on summer. I’ve been scared to enjoy the sunshine ever since. But yesterday, on a 65 degree Texas day, I savored the sun’s warmth and felt so grateful my body is healing. It is absolutely amazing what just a few months can do post-chemo. I don’t have to be afraid to enjoy the sunshine anymore and that is such a gift. ☀️

Hell of a way to cap off 10 years with NDSU. We couldn’t be more proud of you, Hank. We will always be a proud Bison fam 💚💛 #stairwaytoseven #gobison #hornsup #emaw

2019: The Year of Self Love ❤️ ⁣ //⁣ I am so pleased with where I'm at physically, emotionally and spiritually. This year for me is going to be the year of self love. It will be packed to the brim with acts of love, grace and enjoying my life and health. I fought for this healthy body and it deserves to be celebrated, and so it will. ⁣ //⁣ More in my latest post: www.stayingmartha.com or visit my profile for a direct link!

Goals are written down, my heart is full and ready for a new year. ❤️ 2018 was a hard one, but definitely a lessons and learning year. 2019 is going to be a year of acceptance and growth. Self love, self care and a whole lot of grace. If health is on your resolution list, and I suspect it is... don’t forget to do your first self exam of the year. #feelitonthefirst
