Hello everyone!

Just back from 5 weeks travels in US/Canada, and delighted to see how Steph's "Get Active and Keep Well" has taken off.

Loved your feature, Deanne - you have always been spot-on with advice for a healthy lifestyle - so has Robyn - and it's great to hear you are all doing so well!

I found Jamba Juice bars in New York and kept up the kale and green juices - also a place called Pret a Manger with giant refrigerators full of healthy salads and wraps to take away- a huge range - great for lunches.

Being Breast Cancer Month there were pink sisters everywhere, even Newfoundland!  In NY, I tentatively approached a woman in a turban and asked if she was having chemo - she told me she had just finished a week ago.  I told her that I had had 2 surgeries, 12 weeks chemo and 1 month radiation, and "Here I am 2 years later".  She hugged me and said "I really needed to meet you today!!" (And I almost hadn't approached her - so glad that I did).

The new "Healthy Eating and BC" booklet is now downloaded, and my normal diet and exercise routine started first day home.  2 kgs to lose!

Still catching up on all the posts but wanted to say hi to everyone.  Congratulations, Steph - the new group is amazing!  Hugs to you all,

Michelle xxx

  • Glad that you enjoyed your trip and have returned refreshed and ready to keep enjoying staying active and healthy. I think Steph is doing a great job too and I am enjoying the info she finds for us each week. We can never know too much about how to help ourselves! Steph is right when she says that you have a knack for making people's days! Welcome back. Deanne xxx
  • Such kind words! I mentioned to Jess when this came through, you had made my Friday :-) We are really pleased to have been involved in getting this group up and running, we hope it continues to grow and delivers women the support they need to focus on their health and wellbeing.

    Your trip sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing your photos and the food over there sounds DELICIOUS. Have you been to New York before? What a city!

    It is incredible how the universe can deliver you some gentle reassurance out of the blue. It sounds as though you made that womans day when you approached her and shared your experience.

    Have a wonderful Friday Michelle, and thanks again for the feedback. Seems to me as though you might have a knack for making peoples day X
