When is your next adventure?

About me

Hi! My name is Bisa, and I'm a breast cancer survivor, plus-size adventurer, writer, and photographer.

After finishing treatment for breast cancer, I received a 5-year survivorship plan. It included monthly, then quarterly test and doctor visits. Instead of worrying about whether or not the disease would return, I created my own recovery plan. My plan included exploring the world around me and new experiences.

The blog's mission is to remind you we can create a life we love despite our weight and circumstances. My goal is to inspire others to follow their dreams and not wait for a devasting diagnosis to live the life you've always wanted.

Join me on my journey.

Although I only completed four days in #bloglikecrazy challenge, I still consider it a success. In four days I accomplished what the entire exercise was about and that was to help me fall in love...

I Am Still Here. Myles to Travel Updates.

I Am Still Here. Myles to Travel Updates It has been almost four months since I published my last post about going to see the fantastic play, “Southern Gothic” at the Windy City Playhouse...

    Today is Monday Me Day. I take the day and do things for myself. I had a delicious breakfast at the restaurant named @toastandjamcafe in Schererville Indiana. The veggie skillet, turkey and pancakes. No toast this time.
    As part of @diaandco #WhatIseeinHer campaign, I'm always inspired by @curvykilicrew member Deb. She has become like a big sister to me and who always has your back. Deb has faced some challenges during training but is still there cheering us all on. I can't wait to continue on this journey with you. Kilimanjaro and beyond.
    Here are the last two pictures taken using the #theta360 camera. There basically the same picture just edited differently. You can see the same people in the background. Taken at the @icecastles_ at Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Checkout the link in my profile to see more pictures taken at the Ice Castles.
    Have you ever wanted to sit on a throne made of ice? Well let me tell you it’s cold. Lol. I should have worn my snow pants because I ended up walking around with a wet mark on my pants To see more pictures, click the link in my profile for my new blog post. Taken at @icecastles_ in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
    Looks like I'm being swallowed by ice. I took a picture in the ice castles in Lake Geneva Wisconsin using my #Theta360 camera.
    I went to see the Ice Castles in Lake Geneva, WI today. Today was the first day it was open. It was a lot of fun. It got crowded quickly. Make sure you buy your tickets early.
    These pictures were taken in Maui on the top of Haleakala. I dug these pictures out because I was trying to think (besides jumping out of a plane) what was the highest altitude I had ever been on. Then I remembered my trip to Maui in 2005. The first picture was at the end of our adventure alive and in one piece. I was so nervous that I didn't enjoy the ride at first. I still remember the horse name was Bubba. The second picture was taken when I first got off the horse that we rode down into the crater of the mountain. I was terrified. I had never been on a horse before this trip, and it was a bad idea for the first time to be at 10,023 feet above sea level. I learned a lot of lessons on that trip. I was not prepared. 1. It's cold at 10,000 feet. (I had to borrow a jacket) 2. Wear sunscreen (yes black skin burns) 3. Trust the guides (and the horse). Although my next adventure is twice as high as this one, I'm going to remember this experience as I embark on a new one.
    I'm filling in for Tonya’s @mbatweety husband on Beachbody Super Saturday. The are both Beachbody coaches. I'm wearing pieces from my @diaandco box. Another good Match. I love the colors. The clothes were given to me. #curvykilicrew
    I have wings. My 17 year old thought I was crazy when I jumped out of the car to take a picture. She wouldn't let me get one of her. This was taken at the Yorktown Mall in Lombard Illinois.
