Thoughts. Experiences. Inspiration.

I am a 31 year old Cancer Warrior who is currently undergoing my third bout with this terrible disease. My current influences are my day to day trial and tribulations with Cancer treatment. Turn to Stone, to me, means to stop and take a second to reflect. Life is strange; In a moment it can be beautiful and fun, and around the next corner may be a cruel and shocking truth that shakes you to your core. It is important to be able to stop, reflect and put each situation in context.
