So...I'll be bringing some joy as a guest alongside two amazing speakers during tonight's Gabfest hosted by Cactus Cancer Society and Elephants and Tea. (Note: this conference is for people whose lives are impacted by cancer.)
Heard there are 730+ registrants. This is going to be a LOT of fun.
Cactus Cancer Society and Elephants and Tea have partnered again to offer opportunities to connect with other young adults facing cancer in crash courses, interactive panel discussions, hangouts, and more! This year’s theme is “Building the Young Adult Cancer Roadtrip: Your Map for Survivorship!”
To kick off Wednesday, join us for an interactive session where we will learn how we can utilize joyful movement throughout our experiences with cancer. You’ll learn from three joyful movement experts on how they engage in activities that bring joy, and you’ll get a chance to test them out, too! We’ll laugh, dance, and even learn how to play the air guitar! We guarantee you will leave this session with a smile on your face.

(Surprised me, as I'm hungry, and tired from a good, but busy travel week.)
And so it begins. Looking forward to a great including Saturday's session with Black/African American breast cancer survivors and thrivers, and Sunday's Laughter Yoga session.
