Welcome to Beautiful Warrior Wednesday!
Heather is no weenie. A self-proclaimed “cancer butt-kicking, sometimes witty, mostly loved, mom of three and wife of one,” she makes a bold, I mean bald, statement.
She’s beautiful. Beyond beautiful.
I met her on Twitter and adore her tweets. Seriously, who cannot fall in twitter luv with a Christian chick who loves Tuesdays, thinks Taco Bell is yummy, homeschools in her jammies, jokes about brain surgery and prays real: “Lord, help my attitude. Amen.”
Her honesty welcomes me. I wish she lived next store. Her website’s tagline: Its not about the hair. Its about the heart.
Thanks, Heather. I need your reminder of proper perspective. To you I give this weeks Most Beautiful Warrior award.
Here’s a bit of her story in her own words at Especially Heather:
What have I learned?
It isn’t about the cancer. . it’s about the journey. . It’s about seeing life through cancer’s eyes and being better because of it, being more whole and more alive despite it.
It’s about living.
Sure, there are going to be days when you look in the mirror and think “Who is that person, and what did she do with my hair?” But. . .it’s not the only part.
It’s not the defining part.
I am still a mother. I am still a wife. I am still a daughter. I am still a daughter of the King. I am still the same Heather that I was before I found out that I had cancer, just a little more a lot more mature and a heck of a lot less naive. I still have the same heart, the same dreams, the same desires. I am still me, cancer can’t take that away.
It only made me stronger.
CAn’t think of anyone more deserving than this. Heather is especially special. From the inside out, she let’s the Lord shine through her.
LauraLee,
She is so sweet and her site is amazing. I didn’t have room to include her courageous pregnancy and the early years with Emma. She makes me want to stand up and salute.
Blessings, Lucy
You girls are going to make me blush! Thank you for this wonderful compliment… and yes, I really do love Tuesdays 🙂
