Nicole’s Latest Book is for Women Battling Breast Cancer
Borrow My Brave: A Breast Cancer Survivor Bares All
Each one of us has a story
Why would I even bother to tell mine? That’s the million dollar
question.
Honestly, if it were just about me or even my husband,
I wouldn’t. But it’s not about us.
It’s about you.
And your girlfriends.
And your sisters.
And maybe even your mother.
I want to share my experience, the whole experience,
with you so that if you ever have to make this decision,
you’ll have a little more information than you had before.
Not everyone is called to share the intimate details of
their cancer journey, but I am. I’ve known from the beginning
that if I was going to have to walk this path, other
women would gain in the process. And maybe even a
few men who are wondering what is going on with their
wives.
We were created with a resiliency and strength we didn’t know we had until we needed to put it into practice.
“We’re all pretty nice people, right? It’s all those other people who are the problem.
Sure, occasionally we’re tempted to gossip or indulge in a little justified road rage… or snap at a spouse… or scream at our kids… but if everyone else would just get with the program, we wouldn’t be this way!
Maybe the trouble isn’t with all those other people who aggravate us. Maybe we’re the problem — specifically, the way we react to inconveniences, accidents, and just plain everyday life with negative words, thoughts and actions. Because the truth is, when we stop focusing on how we’re being affected and start responding in kind ways, that’s when something remarkable happens: we actually feel happier ourselves.
With humor, compassion and encouragement, Nicole Phillips draws on scientific research and real-life examples to help us recognize unhelpful negative thought patterns, show kindness toward others even when we don’t feel like it, and discover how one little change actually changes everything.”
