Two cancers. One kidney. No thyroid.

A body I once learned to fear.

Twice the health challenges most people can’t imagine. Still, I trained, I sacrificed, I showed up every day.

Yesterday, I made my comeback to the stage. 1st place in Women’s Physique at NFF Championships.

And I’m not finished.

5-year kidney cancer scans today. Fingers and toes crossed we’re still NED.

Wearing Kill Crew because the anxiety is real.

What an ill-conceived logo.

And by “ill conceived,” I mean ridiculously unnecessary.

Next week marks five years since my first cancer diagnosis.

In that time—two cancers, two surgeries, radiation, pre-cancer. Everything has changed.

But without the version of me who faced it all, I wouldn’t be who I am today. And who I am today will be amazed by what’s ahead.

My son started 5th grade today.

My friend asked how I felt.

This is how I feel.

Two years ago today, I had my thyroid removed because of cancer.

My second cancer.

Two years of waking up early to take meds that help me function.

Two years of learning how to live in this body again.

Two years, two cancers.

I don’t know what to do with these days anymore.

I love photography. Always have.

I’m trained—just not enough to make it work full-time. Call me a hobby photojournalist.

This new series is a collection of photos from cities I’ve visited over the years.

First up: Granada, Spain

I’m pretty sure I’m keeping @thriftbooks.bsky.social in business, because this is like my 3rd order in two weeks. 🤣

Captured this rainstorm during our tour of La Alhambra in Granada.

Made it to Madrid. Ready for some coffee. Not sure what Liz did though.
