I had cancer and now I want to help someone else. I stayed at Sorrentino’s Compassion House while undergoing radiation treatment for thirty one days. If you donate, your name will be put in a draw for an original art work from me! Please help another on her cancer journey; thank you.

Always defend your right to heal at your own pace. You are taking your time. You are allowed to take your time.

The last leg of the trip coming home . It was a great weekend wedding! Loved being with my family & sad saying goodbye. @barbaraburns

Sad to hear about the news in France. I cannot understand such hatred for others, that one feels that it is 'right' to kill people. I know I can't change the world, but I have power in my own life. Therefore, I need to remember to find the love, in my heart and mind, for myself & others, and to turn away from the hatred. A kind word, a welcoming smile, a door held open...these small acts have power. I may feel powerless at this moment, due to these huge acts of violence and injustice, but my small acts of love alway ripples out. We are all visitors on this planet; we all are human becomings. It is through love (respect/ acceptance) that we reach our potential as individuals and as a race. Be the change. Beget love. @barbaraburns

Through chemo I lost my slightly wavey hair: Deva Curl your products are helping me deal with my chemo curls. As I have never had curls! My hair when ‘stretched’ reaches to my shoulders! Thank you. (Wearing Stella and Dot, as well as Ralph Lauren) @barbaraburns

Today was an extra reminder that it has been a long cancer journey. I've missed two, end of the year staff breakfasts, due to my treatment. Miss you all. XO @barbaraburns

About to get my #WINKday on. Show your support by wearing blue eyeshadow and/or eyeliner. Take a photo and tag it #WINKday and post it on your social media. Money raised is doubled, by the beauty industry, for programs for women going through cancer. www.winkday.ca Why blue? Because women going through the cancer journey get the blues...and these programs help women feel better about themselves. P.s. Stay tuned for my blue shadow creations! 😏

I'm starting to enjoy these #chemo #recovery #curls ! No more blow drying or straightening! Easy peasy! Instead of hating what you have, I'm choosing to work with what I got! @barbaraburns
