Incredible....former model, Lynn Kohlman & her battle with cancer.

[mother earth]

From Oprah's website: Turning Pain into Power (just popped in on her show & I saw this amazing woman that brought me to tears of joy, her story is really incredible & she is to.)

--In her book, Lynn: Front to Back, Lynn shares bold photographs of herself, which reveal the shocking scars covering her body. Even without her breasts, which were considered her best feature by many, Lynn says she feels more beautiful now than ever before.--

Just wanted to share this with you all. Truth is such a beautiful thing and this woman embodies the power to transcend & turn the most hopeless situation into a triumph of spirit. Her story is incredibly empowering. I am not kidding, I am just in awe of her spirit!

1. Thanks, mother earth. She's such an inspiration.

It never ceases to amaze me when people handle difficulty like this with such grace.

2. I watched that show. Lynn IS incredible, and you know,

she truly is beautiful on the outside too.

3. She surely is. I am still in awe of her. I wish Oprah had devoted

the entire show to her. What an incredible story. She not only had double mastectomies, but then brain cancer. You wonder about the odds of surviving the first and then a second potentially fatal diagnosis. And yet, somehow, she is alive, claims she is healthier than ever, and truly is confident with ALL beauty, confidence and courage just shining through.

If people did not see the show, they really owe it to themselves to look into her story, especially if they know someone who has a health problem, or someone who is just feeling overwhelmed...Lynn is the embodiment of the beauty and power we all have within. They just have to see this woman, she's living proof.
