I’ve struggled to love myself most of my life. I’ve never been happy with the reflection in the mirror.
I saw someone who was weak. Someone who allowed themselves to be abused and harassed. I saw someone who was never good enough or deserving of love. The person in the mirror was too tall. Too big. Not American enough. Not Filipino enough.
Enter a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer and the way I saw the world, myself, completely changed.
In the past 6 weeks I’ve received an outpouring of love and support that I never expected. Whether it was providing dinner for my family or sending words of encouragement, each gesture has meant the world. It’s the love and encouragement that motivates me to fight each day, but it has also taught me to love myself.
For the first time in 35 years, when I look in the mirror, I love who I see. I see a mom who loves her girls and a wife who adores her husband. I see someone who loves her community and all those in her tribe. I see someone strong and deserving of love.
A good friend once told me, “It’s the best kept secret in the universe. Love starts within. Once you figure that out and love yourself in a real way, love you didn’t even know was possible starts pouring in.”
Call me crazy, but cancer was the best thing to ever happen to me.

I spent the best fifteen minutes of my life with Jimmy Johnson yelling "How 'bout them Cowboys" over and over again. Next guy who wants to win my heart, I’m going to tell him that it’s over there in a puddle next to Jimmy.

What's better than talking about yourself for over an hour? Pretty much everything. This gal made it comfortable. She even let me ask her questions back. My therapist never lets me do that.
When it comes to running hotels, men have traditionally ruled. But a new generation of female entrepreneurs is shaking things up — and changing the face of the industry.

Since its inception, the WNBA has continually pushed the boundaries of what women athletes can accomplish on the court and in their communities.
Lisa Leslie wasn't playing basketball when she discovered she could dunk. She was at high school track practice, and smacked the rim practicing her high jump approach. "Not seeing other women dunk, it hadn't dawned on me to try," she said. Before long, she was dunking with the boys at pep rallies. In 2002, after she'd won two Olympic gold medals and a WNBA championship with the LA Sparks, @lisaleslie set a preseason goal to dunk in the WNBA. A few months later, against the Miami Sol, she made history. "I didn't think of it as a historic moment," she said. "I'm like, 'wait, wait, we gotta play defense!'"
