Thank you to our sponsor, Dr. Martha Stewart, Board Certified Dermatologist
Dr. Martha E. Stewart is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and specializes in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology for patients of all ages. Dermatology plays an important role in detecting and treating skin cancer. Skin cancer is almost always curable if detected and treated early.
Skin cancers vary in shape, color, size and texture, so any new, changed or otherwise suspicious growths or rashes should be examined immediately by a board certified dermatologist. Early intervention is essential to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Still I Rise Podcast
"My Stepping Stones" by Beverly Craft Lilly
"As I continued to move one by one through the stepping stones of this journey, I knew that God Himself had carried me and continues to do so. He gave me strength and peace that only He could give. Prior to surgery and during recovery, I would think about the precious little faces of my grandchildren, Benjamin and Noelle, and how I wanted to continue being blessed with creating more wonderful memories of “Lolli” time and getting to watch them grow. Although I have always thought I was a person that treasured life, the cancer diagnosis really made me think about how precious time on this earth is and how quickly life can change. The little and big things in life took on a total transformation of newness and appreciation. My mosaic stepping stones did not have any resemblance to those in the past. The pieces were now different just like me. My journey was different. My life would be forever changed and I would be a new me — challenged, crumbled, crushed, connected, changed and celebrated! To God be the glory!
Your stepping stones of life matter! You matter! You were created by God and you are the only one like you!
The Bible says the following: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 It is He who gives me hope and a future!"
