Dear followers,
Thank you for always keeping it positive when responding to the inspirational posts. Kindness and understanding is always appreciated here.
My name is Laura Gan and I am the fortunate founder of Aspire2b. I am a tiny business owner, and my only employee, is myself.
Some of you may have noticed that there was a drop in posts these last few months. I am here to make a personal announcement to all of you.
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 6 months ago in March of 2019. I am 40 years old, and my husband and I are raising 3 young children, ages 12, 9, 6. This disease has rocked our household in ways we could not have imagined. And it has put a hard stop to the mile a minute, bay area, rat race that I was engaged in before being diagnosed.
For the next few posts. I am actually going to cut and paste the cancer journey thus far, that I have been posting on my personal page.
I hope that my message of self-care and self-love will come through to all of you, because you deserve to be kind to yourself. No one else can give you the gift of self-acceptance. It comes from the inside out.
With much appreciation and gratitude,

In Strength,
Laura Gan
