Advice for my younger self...and any young women finding their place in the world
Here's what I'd like to tell the 16, 18, 25 or 30 year old versions of myself. Some wisdom for teens and young women who are figuring out their futures, from someone who's been there, done that. I've built three successful businesses and figured out what works and what doesn't. I love to share my journey and help to encourage others. (Spoiler alert...maybe college isn't always the right choice. That's ok!)

Choosing a theme or word to guide your month
มุมมอง 275 ปีที่แล้ว
As part of my Perfectly Imperfect January series, today I'm talking about an idea introduced to me by one of my favorite podcasters, Gretchen Rubin. Choosing a word or theme for a month, season or year is a great way to add intentional goals and be thoughtful when making decisions about how to spend your time. A simple way to add some intention, happiness and richness to your days!

Self Assessment: what's working and what's not in all the areas of priority in your life

Today's task is simple but powerful. Think of several areas of your life that are priorities and jot them down. (Some of mine are marriage, parenting, faith, finances, home, work, and health.) Spend a few minutes noting what's going well in each category. Recognize and celebrate those wins - they're worth the attention.

I had 22 rounds of radiation no cutting. So grateful.
I had it 8 different times on my face.scc
Glad you had it relatively easy. I had the same done 2 months ago, the surgery taking off the size of a penny off the tip of my nose, followed by a forehead skin flap graft cutting off the skin from the nose bridge to the top of the forehead 1/2 in wide. Amazing! Next surgery in 6 months to thin the graft out.
How are you now. I’m just starting my journey. I was diagnosed a week ago and I’m trying to schedule my surgery now. Thank you for your video. I’ve been doing a lot of research. This is helpful and reassuring.
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this, but you'll be relieved when it's taken care of! I'm glad my story is helpful to you! I'm still doing great! I really need to do a follow-up video!
So there is something I just don’t understand.I have sun damage all over my face from tanning .. I am now doing 5% FU to kill any precancerous cells and post basil cell that was just beginning. So I have been watching so many videos about skin cancer and those that I have watched that have gone through MOHL’S surgery all have the prettiest clear skin! I have so much sun damage and never have had any surgery .Thank You God. I’m just confused how the perfect skin people have skin cancer and how I have been so lucky.
Hi Cheryl! Glad you're finding some preventative solutions to your sun damage! Good question about why some of us are luckier than others. This has been several years ago now for me, but if I recall correctly, my surgery was needed because I had squamous cell carcinoma, which is a "worse" cancer than basal. In my own research, I found that certain people are more likely to get skin cancers of various types, especially people like me, of Scandinavian descent with very fair skin. There are other factors too. Some people can spend lots of time in the sun without any serious effects, and then some people like me, who have always been very careful to wear sunscreen, for whatever reason are more inclined to develop cancerous spots. There are so many factors so it's hard to say exactly why, but I now know that I have to be on the lookout.
Thank you for your lovely videos. I just came across your squamous cell surgery video and wonder if you ever did a 4th video showing the final result. I'm having surgery on my nose in March and it would be helpful to see a photo from after the surgery and after it totally healed.
Oh dear‼️I have the same thing and have seen the dermatologist who gave me chemo cream which has. It helped. I had a bcc removed about 30years ago on my nose and it has recurred. So tomorrow I go to the surgeon to assess what my course of treatment will be. And it will probably be surgery pretty much like yours. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰. And I have seen other peoples pictures of the scars and it scares me. Where I live many people wear masks still but I am the one wearing the mask outside so as not to let the sun touch my face. While others wear theirs inside. Good luck you are a gorgeous lady and it seems that you are doing everything right. Sending love ❤and healing energy,
Best wishes as you work through this! I was worried about the scarring too, especially since my incisions were right on the tip of my nose and ended up to be so large, but it's healed really well and is barely noticeable!
Thanks for your videos. I have SCC on my left cheek, removed by surgery, doc didn't get it all, I am to apply "chemo cream" for next 6 weeks, then they will decide if further action is necessary. I'm a little worried but have had a lot of close calls before with heart problems over my 84 years.
Thank you for your story! I am going to see a dermatologist in the next few days, to have some spots checked out on my nose. Hopefully it will be nothing, but better safe than sorry.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Just had my done last week
She pretty 😍
I’m on my 4th face skin cancer but this time I have the squamous cell one. Waiting for surgery coming up. But I have a lot of faith and able to accept whatever’s giving me. I won’t have treatments I’d rather live longer.
Thanks for shearing your story; my sister was told by the skin doctor that it looks like she has the squamous cell carcinoma in her chest and she is schedule for a biopsy. I heard all your story. It really helped a lot. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your experience with squamous cell carcinoma. Several years ago, I had Moh’s surgery to remove Basal Cell Carcinoma from my right temple. However, within the past week, I received a diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma on my scalp, just inches from my spot of Basal Cell. So now I am facing everything that goes with removing the new spot. I appreciate your words of encouragement and trust they will help guide me through this upcoming procedure!
Sorry to hear you're going through this again, I hope all goes well! Sending healing thoughts!
@@homesteaddesign3871 Thank you for your kind thoughts!
Thank you thank you so much for this video. I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. This video helps so much.
So glad it was helpful for you! I hope all goes well, best wishes for healing!
there is nothing wrong with putting socks in the nightstand. i literally cleaned out my nightstand of makeup . i ought a vanity table/desk and now my nightstand( 2 draws are for underwear. both of them. i also have anotger 1 by my tv for the same. my socks are in a basket in my closet because i only have 7 to 10. i live in Fl where socks are really not needed.
I'm glad I found you I was just diagnosed with this in my face they said I have 2 options and that chemotherapy and radiation or surgical I'm 31 years old this is heart breaking 😢😢
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! I've had a clean bill of health since my surgery two years ago, and I pray you'll have the same great outcome! Feel free to message me if I can help at all!

Thanks for the video. I have an aggressive squamous/basal cell hybrid carcinoma between my eye and nose. Scheduled moh's surgery in a couple of weeks. This will be my 5th moh's surgery.
Thank you. Were you put out for the skin graft? (You said you were sick from the anesthesia) Did the Mohs surgeon do the skin graft or was it done by a different surgeon?
Hi Jeanne! I wasn't put out, it was a local anesthesia injected around the site, like you'd have for dental work. For some reason any kind of anesthesia makes me very nauseous, and the whole process took a couple hours so there were multiple injections. The same doctor did the Mohs surgery and the skin graft in my case. He was a private practice dermatologist. In some clinics, it sounds like a plastic surgeon might be involved. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions! Ang
Homestead Design thank you! Just what I wanted to hear.
I'm getting something checked out this coming week. I'm prepared for the worst while trying to keep an open mind. Btw it's on my nasal bridge so your story was that I needed. I'm also thinking I'll have to be bandaged for awhile. Thank you and hope you're doing well. Also how was the pain during this whole thing? I don't fair well with hard painkillers.
Hi Cat! I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this but hope you're encouraged that this is manageable! There wasn't pain during the procedure...I was awake but they'd numbed the spots, just like at the dentist. I don't react well to anesthesia (makes me sick to my stomach) so that was miserable for the rest of the day after the surgery...nausea, vomiting, and the pain was honestly like the worst kind of migraine, but that was short-lived, just a couple hours. They didn't give me any painkillers...just Tylenol. After that first day, the pain wasn't bad at all and I didn't really even need Tylenol very much. Mine was on the tip of my nose, but if yours is up higher on the bridge, maybe you won't need the skin grafting. That would make it much less painful and much faster healing, I would think. Sending best wishes for a great outcome for you!
Did it turn out to be squamous melanoma?
Everyone has cancer cells in their bodies. Whether they take a hold and colonize in a particular part of the body or organ depends on how healthy your life is. Cancer is a wake up call to tell you that your life is waaay out of balance. Cancer is not a death sentence. I would not allow myself to be cut into.

Holy crap, treatment obviously varies widely! I'm in Canada and I had squamous cell carcinoma on my ear two years ago, but my treatment is hugely different than yours. A repeatedly bleeding sore on my ear got me referred to a dermatologist, who froze my ear and removed the bleeding tissue, including "the root". Biopsy came back positive for squamous cell cancer, so there was a high-priority visit back to the dermatologist to assess things, but that's been it. No turning a small sore into a dime-sized skin removal. No skin grafts. No follow-up treatments or assessments. Not sure if your treatment was overdone, or mine was underdone, or if both were reasonable given the specific circumstances. But it sure was two different treatments! That was two years ago for me...
Yes, I think the treatments definitely vary case by case. My cancerous cells turned out to extend further and deeper than they could see on the surface, so the wound ended up being much bigger than the visible spot. And from what I understand, the skin grafting was because of the tip of my nose location. In other areas of the body, they can sometimes just pinch the skin together and stitch it shut, but there isn't any extra skin on the nose to do that with. :) I'm glad that my process, which was a relatively big deal for a little spot on the nose, turned out well and healed up nicely. Always interesting to hear about others' experiences!
Canada has the worst health care.
I suppose the only real way to compare would be outcome. Mohs surgery in the US has a 97-100% cure rate in the U.S.
@Who63 I must agree unfortunately! Because I would have had to wait over a year for surgery in BC, I had to fly 3 times to Alberta at my own expense. Several thousand dollars later, I struggled to get anyone in BC to remove my stitches!
@@jazzcats1000Sorry you had such crap treatment. I'm in Europe and where I am sounds like the same don't give a sh#t doctors. I prayed for you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this. I may be facing the same diagnosis and your story has helped me IMMENSELY.
Summer, I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this and I wish you all the best! I can tell you that it seems like a long, scary road when you're in the midst of it, but soon it'll all be behind you.

@@alysononoahu8702 I'm ok thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well :)
Looks good!
Thank you for your videos. They’re bringing me some comfort. I just had a spot removed yesterday and sent for a biopsy. The dermatologist is quite certain it’s basal cell. I now wait about a week to hear if it’s cancer or not. I’m just sick about this. When the dermatologist said the words “basal cell carcinoma” it took the air right out of my lungs. I left the office just sobbing. I’m going nuts thinking there are possibly more cancer cells in the area they biopsied. And of course I’m playing the “what if it’s worse than basal cell?” game. Waiting and worrying will really put you in a dark place. Thanks for the videos. They helped me today. Wishing you all the best.
Oh Eleanor, I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! I completely understand what a scary time it is, and especially when you're in that waiting period with a mind that's filled with "what ifs". I also understand the feeling of wondering if other cancer cells are lingering. I had a complete skin check right after my surgery, where the doctor found several pre-cancerous spots that he froze off, and also found three other spots to surgically remove. Since then, I've switched to a different dermatologist (I kind of wanted a second opinion, and I didn't love the first doctor...I felt that he didn't take time to make me feel comfortable and informed). I had another complete skin check a couple weeks ago with the new doctor, and she was great. She showed me what kinds of things to look for, showed me what kinds of things are nothing to worry about, and she was up front about the fact that since I've had this happen once at a relatively young age, it's likely to happen again, so I need to know what to watch for. I felt a lot more informed and empowered after that visit (and she froze a few more spots.) So from now on I'll have skin checks every 6-12 months or so, to make sure I catch any future problems as soon as possible. I also had a regular physical with blood work, to ease my mind and be sure there was nothing else going on to worry about! I'll be sending prayers that everything works out well for you! It's scary right now, I know!
