Still I Rise Podcast
"The Sparkling Dahlia" by Jamie Johnson
An excerpt from Jamie's story: "My battle against breast cancer wasn't just about survival, it became a catalyst for change- igniting a passion within me to redefine my life's purpose. The journey was far from easy. It has been filled with many tears, therapy sessions, soul-searching, and of course art, creativity, and now photography. I am working to redefine my core values, set boundaries to protect my well- being, and chase my dreams with an unwavering determination. I am working to get my sparkle back.
As I walk on this path of healing and transformation, my message for others is to break free from the monotony of everyday life, to live each day with passion, and to embrace the present moment as if it was your last. Create a bucket list, cross things off your list, tell the people you care about that you love them.
Above all, love yourself, just as you are today, in this very moment."
