MUST READ LINK: Transform Your Life with Grace
Grace was Born: May 11, 1967, and has over 35 years of experience in the health, wellness and fitness industry as an AFAA-certified fitness instructor, professional fitness/swimwear model, contributing fitness writer and NPC fitness and bikini competitor. Her evidence-based approach to holistic health and wellness includes weaving mindfulness in both movement and stillness meditation.
Grace was diagnosed at the age of 38 with Stage 3 colon cancer in 2005 and treated with a “chemo cocktail” called FOLFOX, a mix of several drugs plus steroids. Looks can be deceiving: she’s deemed permanently physically disabled due to the long-term side effects of chemo. This includes bone and joint degeneration as well as peripheral neuropathy (extensive nerve damage particularly to hands and feet).
After years of chronic pain, medical scares, complications, numerous surgeries and what seemed like never-ending doctor appointments, she decided that enough was enough.
By then, her daily pill box included up to 24 prescription and over the counter (OTC) medications–half of the pills supposedly counteracted the side effects from the other pills. With the help of her general physician, she titrated down and discontinued all but one of her medications.
Today, Grace attributes her good health to the practice of mindful living, to include prayer and meditation; Taoist Tai Chi, a form of martial arts and moving meditation; non-violent communications; choosing more whole foods vs. processed; and maintaining healthy, meaningful relationships with family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and yes, strangers–who are simply, in essence, potential friends.
In 2014, she created Be a Blue Buddy, a colon cancer awareness campaign with a mission to advocate for and support patients, survivors, and their support system (friends, family, caretakers, clergy). As a survivor wanting to give back to the community, Grace educates on the disease and shares her story to empower and inspire others, and to help save lives.
Be a Blue Buddy is not an organization, but rather a grassroots, personal call-to-action to educate the community about the disease through public speaking engagements, participating with other organizations, and connecting with the community through social media to help raise awareness of colon cancer, the importance of screening and early detection in support of survivors and their support team; to give hope to newly diagnosed patients; and to honor those who have died from this disease.
As a survivor, thriver and expert by experience of Stage 3(c) colon cancer, childhood trauma, molestation, rape, domestic abuse, suicide and PTSD, the after-effects of chemo and multiple surgeries as well as other life-challenging dynamics, Grace is an active steward of the community and a strong advocate for holistic wellness education, mental health, non-violence, alternative and integrative medicine and wellcare options. She also advocates for local, state, national, global and multi-universal systemic transformations and paradigm shifts–from education, technology, home life and healthcare, to business, politics, social services, and justice.
Grace De La Rosa was born in Virginia and grew up in Atlantic Beach, FL–the eldest of four in a family where her parents are still happily married after 57 years. Her ethnic background is diverse: Filipina, Spanish, Hawaiian, Chinese, Norwegian, English and Sub-Saharan African. She’s a proud U.S. citizen and Born-Into the military lifestyle. Grace’s father retired from the Navy as an MS-1 Cook. Her former spouse was a Navy F/A-18 Hornet Strike Fighter jet pilot (think Blue Angels) and a P-3 pilot.
She strives for joyful learning and living by practicing a spiritual life of Mindful Living and is willing to step outside of her comfort zone to face her fears head-on. She’s experienced piloting a plane, snow skiing, scuba diving, skydiving, paintball wars, and traveling. She likes to soak in the culture’s history of traditions, arts, architecture and daily lifestyle–eating and sleeping as the locals do.
Grace enjoys the arts (e.g. music/theatre/live entertainment, museums, paintings, photos, architecture), literature, and botanical gardens. She’s a beach girl at heart and so appreciates in-tact seashells. Anything related to the sun, clouds, moon, stars, rainbows and other skyscapes capture her attention. Grace’s favorite splashes of color are bright citrus orange, turquoise blue and gold. A few of her favorite scents are from flowers such as magnolia, rose, gardenia, peony, plumeria, honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossoms; aromatic wafts of food cooking in the kitchen; the ionic shift in the air just before rainfall; and the scent of a freshly mowed lawn.
