Wait...I have five more minutes!


"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"

The Chair




At this moment, I am sitting in the spot where I felt the breast cancer myself for the first time and realized breast cancer could be a reality for me that was confirmed 24 hours later. This is my view. This was exactly 7 months ago to the day and time (Monday 11/01 2:15pm) that I sit here now (Monday 7/02 2:15pm). Wow. Thank you God for letting me sit in this chair many months later! This feels very significant to me right now. I'm just taking it in.
