HOMESTEADING ON AN ACREAGE….
3 YEARS THIS SEPTEMBER AGO.
PRE BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS.

Had to change my entire trajectory. Leave my Homesteading dream. Move towns, live closer to loved ones, doctors sent me home with a 3 month to live diagnosis, had to move my trailer, sell it, eventually move again to a new home because I was out living the diagnosis, all the while doing IV treatments at the Naturalpath, moved into an abusive landlords suite, had to move again out of my home town, moved out of town and helped and supported a dear friend through Mother passing away, sell all her furniture and get rid of her things, NOW ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER…
Moving again, staging, purging, clearing and helping sell the home I am in.
All of this with Stage 4 Breast cancer metastasized.

I am saying all this because this is a SELF RECOGNITION, A ‘I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF’, GOOD FOR YOU DANA LYNN, WAY TO GO, YOU ARE A WARRIOR, A FIGHTER, A MIRACLE.

I am in immense gratitude for all that I have, the travels, the journey, the lessons, the accomplishments, the fights, the successes, the abundance, the people I met along the way, all the love and support and that I am ALIVE taking breath, able to get up everyday, create and live.

What a life, never did I ever think of disease or illness and especially breast cancer. I imagined me being very well and healthy deep into old age. And life brought another path for me. And what a path it has been. I have worked INCREDIBLY HARD everyday staying to my diet, protocols, supplements, regimes, moving, doing, Being, living, supporting and loving. This has not been easy in anyway shape or form. I have faced the deepest darkest places in my ego, seen the most Godly of myself, and everything in between. I have come to the worst that could happen in life, and I continue to get up everyday and live with death as my closest companion always reminding me to think more positively, feel what I am experiencing, don’t bring others into my spiral unless they give permission, see the brightest side, forget the small stuff, move on unless I have lost a limb and/or bleeding to death, keep going, take as many breaks as you need, slow down go my pace and no others and ALWAYS MAKE TIME FOR MY DAUGHTER, GRANDSON, MY BELOVED AND MY TRIBE.

You never know what path will take you in life, it may seem one way but be BLOWN UP and open up a completely different direction, one you haven’t even imagined. My inside voice never stopped talking to me saying keep going, keep getting up, keep to the path, and NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS and it has BEEN REALLY HARD!!!

So here I am 3 years past the doctors diagnosis to die and I will keep going for as long as I have it in me. My hope and dream is to return to my little island, close to my family and tribe, get out boating, camping in nature, good healthy living, gardening and celebrating, crying and loving with my people for as long as possible! I celebrate this life, everyday, breathing deeply, laughing as often as possible and planning for the next possibility or BLOW UP!!!

Peace and Harmony, Walk respectfully, live passionately, speak your truth and Love Ferociously!!!
