STRUT is defined in the Webster Dictionary as “to walk with pompous and affected
air”. Cancer tried to affect my air and my STRUT so I had to detoxify the air that which tried
to destroy and kill me. When I found out I had Stage 4 HER-2 breast cancer on December 2,
2009, I had to Own up to my STRUT and find it. I didn’t have a STRUT before cancer. I did
things just because. I let the world dictate how I would live my life. When breast cancer hit, I
developed a STRUT that can never be taken away. I no longer do things or live life just
because…I live life for a purpose. I want to leave an unwavering legacy that will live on long
after I’m gone. I will never take ownership of this awful disease because the disease will never
define me or my life as it is now. That’s what cancer wants. It wants me to bow down or give
up. I can never bow down to something that I know GOD has control of. I turned breast
cancer over to GOD a long time ago and I turned it into a blessing. I dug deep within my soul
and now I STRUT for love, friendship, happiness, faith, sadness, joy, dignity, and a cure.
I STRUT With GOD and For GOD now and my walk and talk is different. My smile
and aura are different. My presence is magnifying. People say…there’s something different
about you. Yeah, there’s something different about me…I finally Own My STRUT!
