Hi Everyone - it's been awhile since I last posted but here I am. 2011 has already been a big year for me and I'm happy to say a good year! In a post in December I mentioned starting a new business and it's all happening. As of this month I have a health and fitness studio where I plan to work with women like myself, living with breast cancer, to regain their fitness, strength and wellbeing.

New Life

Well it's almost 2 years on and I feel great to know that breast cancer hasn't beaten me it's just made me stronger. I now have the courage to take on a new path that i would not have considered two years ago. I have always wanted to start my own business and beginning January I will be on my way to making it happen.

So while breast cancer has probably been the worst thing that has ever happened to me it has also given me a new life. I have met some wonderful people on this journey who have changed my life, people I would not have met otherwise.

ChiBall

I've found a wonderful exercise/wellbeing program called ChiBall. It is a combination of yoga, pilates, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais and meditation using a coloured ball. The program is based on the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I've been going to classes for 3 months and it's the best hour of my week. It is such a great program for women recovering from breast cancer. I've found it's really helping me in my recovery. Has anyone else out there heard of it?
