Why Did I Get Cancer?

I first saw Kris on The Oprah Winfrey Show years ago, long before I was diagnosed with cancer.

Kris has been living with stage four incurable cancer for twenty-one years. She has tumors inside of her body, and yet she can still love and appreciate her body.

Do you struggle to love your body?

I think about how I've had a love/hate relationship with my body throughout my life.

That's a long time without being in a constant state of appreciation for the body God gave me.

Kris told me she is a difficult person and has to work to approach life from a place of love—love for other people and love for herself, her whole self, tumors, and all.

I don't have to tell you how much strength it takes to face each day with LOVE, all while having an incurable form of cancer.

If there's one podcast you listen to this week, this is it.

Toups and Co

It's happened...I'm putting beef tallow on my face, and my skin looks lush, and it doesn't smell like a hamburger :)

I've seen the TikTok videos about beef tallow. I avoided trying it because it sounded like I'd be putting grease on my face.

Enough people asked me about it, so I started reading more information and trying out various tallows.

There was one company that stood out to me.

I feel like I hit a home run with the brand Toups and Co.

I first heard of this brand on a friend's podcast (Holistic Hilda with the Weston A Price Foundation). She interviewed the founder, Emily Toups. She was a mom looking for a solution to her child's skin issues. She was frustrated with the lack of progress with drugstore and prescription meds, so she reached out to a local farmer for tallow.

The rest, as they say, is history. Her daughter is healed, and my skin looks great, haha!

Thank you, Toups Family, for making such excellent products and offering my community a 15% discount.
