My name is Courtney. I am a cancer survivor.

Hello. My name is Courtney and I am a cancer survivor.

It has taken me along time for me to be able to make that statement. I have spent a lot of time trying to escape the 'world of cancer' and remove myself from it; only to discover that it was a permanent part of who I am. I am a survivor.

My silence has never been because of a lack of gratitude or appreciation for all of the love and support that I have received and have continued to receive. My silence has simply been silence. Always a reverence for life. Of course, mixed in with a generous amount of living life.

And that is what I have been doing my best to do this past year-- living, loving and learning.

I couldn't think of a better way to return to blogging than sharing this link with you:

I hope that you will follow my brother, Chris' progress along with me. Thank you Chris for helping me find me way back to my blog. I am looking forward to sharing with you all my life (thank you Tracy for saving it!) and journey as a survivor.
