Month 8: the "new" me

With my 30th birthday approaching soon, it feels good to feel like a "new" version of myself. I'm finally feeling more confident with my hair thanks to a cute, spunky new style. It actually looks like an intentional hair-cut/style instead of  the "post-chemo-growth-fuzz-mess".

(excuse the no make-up)

I am still taking my AG Pro vitamins like crazy-- it's 6 pills a day. So surely they're doing some good with this hair growth!  I'm really hoping that by the time February 20 rolls around (the day I shaved my head) I will have a cute bob style! I can't wait.

And to go with my cute new hair style/celebrate my 1 year "cancerversary"/and 30th birthday, I recently purchased some Frye boots and I absolutely love them! Bought new, they're worth a pretty penny, but I lucked out and found a 1970s vintage pair -in excellent condition- on Etsy! The Gisela & Zoe Vintage Shop has some amazing vintage clothing at awesome prices. I even got this adorable polka dot blouse from them too. Check out their clothes, you won't be disappointed!

The "new" me has also found hope again, thanks to some amazing doctors who have listened to my case and given me their expertise. I've been seeking out second opinions about my future treatment & care and have received a lot of positive feedback. I'm not sure I'm ready to share all of it yet, as I'm still sorting through all of it and praying about it. But it sure is awesome to have hope in the future again, something I haven't felt in quite a long while.

"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from Him. 

 He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken."

Psalm 62:5-6
