I just love reading Bitch Cakes' blog! I always come away feeling better about myself with a new found inner-strength and determination. I also found myself quoting BC often in my own blog and writing down many of the things she had said that meant a great deal to me so I could look back on them when I needed to.

It felt as though BC was writing to ME and helping me learn how to cope with my own journey so I decided to create this page in her honour. I feel privileged to be able to share her journey and I love looking at all of her photos.
It is underneath these photos you will find the experience and insight of a woman called *Bitch Cakes*

With permission from Bitch Cakes, I would like to share some of my favourite photos that I have found on her blog.

BC has an awesome bike that she loves - it's a pink Hello Kitty Cruiser and she participates in many bike tours through New York on her cruiser while wearing her very unique biking outfits, which I love. Here are a few photos :

Bitch Cakes recently ran in her 4th qualifier for her 2012 NYC Marathon. It was the Colon Cancer challenge 4 mile Run in Central Park.

I just love the positive nature of BC's blog. She always tries to keep it as positive as possible, (even if her run/day wasn't as good as she had planned), which is something I am endeavouring to do as well. I know we all have bad days and I know that sometimes it shows on our blogs, but I just love the optimistic tone of Bitch Cakes' blogs and posts.

At the end of her post Sheryl wrote a list of lessons she had learned from this particular run. The title of the list in itself is great - "Lessons learned from this run? (Remember, it's FEEDBACK, not failure!)" This is something I have to remember more - feedback NOT failure! It is something I can really relate to - I need to be kinder to myself and import some more positive feedback into my life.

Out of the 8 points on the list, the last one just really resembles Bitch Cakes affirmative and encouraging behaviours - I love it!
  • "And yes, keep the promise to myself that I will never, ever give up. Just keep going. No matter how long it takes or what obstacles I encounter!"
These are the sort of promises I need to make with myself and KEEP them. Thanks again Sheryl. Even though we have never met in person and probably never will, I just want to thank you sooooo much for sharing your amazing life with me (and everyone else). I really do feel privileged to be able to read along and follow your successes.
