Non-Sexy Side of Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer, the Non-Sexy Side!  When you decide that you want your outfit to cling better in your chest area even though you know that what’s underneath your bra is not all that it seems, this does not make you a fake person.  The bottom line is, what’s underneath your bra is between you and the lucky person who gets to peep.

As a breast cancer survivor, who opted for a lumpectomy (removal of lump), I can’t just walk into a department store and grab whatever looks good to the eye, because I  always have to consider whether or not the outfit will work & look right based on how it fits my breast.  Unfortunately most outfits don’t hang right, especially the ones with spaghetti straps or low cut features.  Thanks to my favorite Maidenform bra I no longer have to wonder whether or not my outfits will fit properly, and I can choose to wear it with or without straps depending upon the look that I wish to perfect.  If you are looking for the perfect fit that lifts what you have and/or accentuates what you don’t have, then click the link next to this blog to purchase my favorite Maidenform bra.

Beauty After Breast Cancer

Beauty After Breast Cancer!  Sometimes beauty is described by our physical body rather than our mindset.  I discovered my beauty from within after being diagnosed with breast cancer at age thirty.  What could have been a devastating moment for me turned into the best thing that has ever happened. Although breast cancer does not define me, it did create in me a desire to live life to the fullest while searching for my purpose here on earth, to make sure that God got all the glory for every day that I lived past my diagnosis.  My whole world changed the minute I heard those words, “You have breast cancer!”  Rather than see this as a death threat I took that diagnosis and created a platform to share my story of survival through my business, “Geri Speak.”  I started with one speaking engagement and after thirty-five years the speeches and events that I have attended and planned are too numerous to count.  Every day that I wake up I thank God for another opportunity to be a light in a dark world.  I ask Him to guide my thoughts, my deeds, my words, my efforts and my every move.
