Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

Happy Thanksgiving Day, friends! 

I know this year is unlike any other and I know so many plans have changed. However, no matter how you choose to celebrate, I hope that you give thanks.

Give thanks to family. Thanks to friends. Thanks to love. Thanks to happiness. Thanks to the things that mean the most to you.  

I hope that you look around, where ever you are, and you choose to be grateful.

Be grateful for today. Grateful for your loved ones. Grateful for amazing friendships. Grateful for your career. Grateful for a place to lay your head at night. Grateful for food on your table. Grateful for all the things in your life - no matter how big or small.   

And before you go to bed and kiss today farewell, I hope that you realize all that you are blessed with. 

Blessed to live this incredible life. Blessed for your health. Blessed for your successes and your failures. Blessed with amazing people who love you. Blessed by the dreams of tomorrow and the accomplishments of today. Blessed with all the love in your heart. 

Friends, while you give thanks, show gratitude and understand how blessed you are, I hope that you remember the most important of them all...

YOU. 

I am so thankful for you and your friendship; I am so grateful for you and your support; and I am so blessed by you and your love. YOU are amazing and there is no one else like you on this earth. YOU are truly something special - never ever forget that! 

xoxo,

Second Chances

Cancer.  It's a disease that affects millions all over the world and I am sure that you know someone whose been impacted by it. Maybe you have personal experience with it. Maybe you are a lucky one who has survived it.  I am one of those lucky ones.  To hear your name attached to a word that is the deadliest disease known to mankind, is scary as hell. One doctors appointment, one pregnancy, one miracle baby...one diagnosis changed the trajectory of my life. At 26 years old, this was not how I saw my future. To be perfectly honest, I never thought in a million years this would be my life path. I guess I was naive or maybe I just took my health for granted. Either way, there is nothing in any book or movie that can prepare anyone for what happens to you when you get a medical diagnosis such as this.  So many people think that one surgery, one medication or one diagnosis is no big deal. Well, I am here to prove you wrong. It's so much more than that. It's the dozens of doctors

Happy Birthday

When you have school aged children, especially elementary, it's amazing how much stuff they bring home from school on a weekly basis. When I was kid, I remember cleaning out our desks and backpacks maybe once a month or once a quarter. I guess times have changed! If I don't clean out my daughters's backpack on a semi weekly basis, I might find living things in there building little nests out of who knows what! I really hope that others feel me on this...or is it just my kid?  This weekend while cleaning out her school-to-home folder, I found this gem of a paper. It was a little bit of a time capsule, if you will. There were two columns on this paper...on one side were a few "current favorites" and on the other, a few "predictions for the future." When looking it over, there was one thing that stuck out to me and blessed my heart so much! Out of all things on this paper, was her answer to Favorite holiday/celebration  and she wrote "b-day!"

Finding my way back

-
I started this little blog, my safe space, a year ago on November 21st. The months that followed were a dark time for me; a period of transition into finding my true self again. I struggled to find the hope and joy that I so desperately needed around me and tried to convince myself that I was brave enough to take on life full force.  I wanted (tried) to create a space that I could share my true feelings and hide behind the screen, concealing my true identity. I wanted to be a positive light for someone out there who might be able to relate. I wanted to offer hope and I believe that it helped...even if for just a hot minute.  Then life happened and I got caught up in all the chaos. Again.  And here I am starting all over. Again.  What I can tell you, though, is that I've missed you. I've missed this. Writing, journaling, blogging...it's what keeps me sane. It helps on the hard days and makes the good days that much better. We forget small details, kind gestures, hurt feeling
