Great day to thank God! 5 yrs ago I was diagnosed with Cancer for a 2nd time & given 15% chance of living! Lost 2 major organs but God spared me with another chance at life to impact people’s lives! My scan was clean and if I make it to Jan w/ no probz I should be in the clear🙏🏽

6 yrs ago I started chemo for my 2nd battle w/ Cancer. Dr. said I had 7-15 % chance of living.I’m smiling in this pic but deep down I was scared. 2020 has been trying but remember that we should be thankful for the lessons we have learned as it exposes character & builds strength

A breakup. A job loss. The worst season of your life. You don't wish these things upon yourself. But their value could be worth more than a hundred other seasons of things going well. Life experience is the best teacher so embrace the struggles as they become your strengths! 🗣🙏🏽.

A child on average smiles 500 times a day while adults on average smile 15 times a day. As Adults we have the capacity to control our attitude & choices but let our circumstances dictate our emotions.Choose to be positive even when you don’t want to as it’s a internal competition

Shooters shoot. Only difference is when I shoot I’ve always had a hand in my face. Nothing was ever given to me as it was earned. My haters never motivated me as my process consumed me. I’m not even supposed to be here as my process protected me. ✅ it’s make it take it. #💯
