Journal entry by Marissa Gailey —
I texted my friend this message…
“It will be 9/1 that chemo starts, so Wednesday. And I agree. I think this is going to be a mental battle. And I’m feeling ready at this time. Scarred. Sad that it has to happen. And ready to fight for the life I want and deserve.”
My mind set is shifting. I’ll tap into these pure moments of bravery. All it takes is a moment. Which usually arises with a few tears and emotions to address. And that moment of bravery allows me to push past the old narrative that I’ve set for myself. The narrative that holds me back in so many ways. And the work is what I choose to create from my word.
Acknowledging what is real has been so helpful for me in finding acceptance. Acknowledging the journey ahead. Validation. Seeing who I am through the eyes of people who have seen my heart and passion for life and others.
I’m ready to set this new mind set ablaze! No time left for what is not serving me, nor true.
Jesus steady my heart, my mind, my body and send me to where your truest calling lies for me.
