Cause I want EVERYONE to hear it.
There are many things in my life that I have backed away from because it just seemed "too big for me". I have shy'd away from so many opportunities, blessings, relationships, goals, dreams, SIMPLY because of a fear that I couldn't do it.
Self esteem was never my strong point, which never helped at all.
I'm a writer. I live through words, and I as a woman who battled cancer last year, I can VOUCH for the power of your own words. Your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions...it's all SO incredibly POWERFUL. People don't give themselves credit for the powerful energy and light that they have been blessed with. People out there sometimes don't see that anything is possible, that they can do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING they want to, if they CHOOSE to. People don't understand what they can create with responsibility, perspective and grace.
I know; because before I faught for my LIFE, I was one of those people.
If you thought your days could potentially be numbered, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
What would you hope to accomplish? What do you wish to leave of yourself? What type of experience are you REALLY hoping for here? What are you creating?
I have to stop and ask myself these simple questions A LOT. I'm still learning.
And, Im not a big promise maker...in fact, I cant remember the last promise I made; BUT, I can promise you THIS:
1. YOU ARE GOLDEN. Your purpose here is UNIQUE and ALL YOUR OWN. This life has been given to you to do handle however you wish, and YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.
You are. We all are. Your special...just like the rest of us. lol...
2. YOUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND EMOTIONS will create your NOW. And...only YOU can create YOUR Now. It's CHOICE. Be careful which path you choose, because once you start down that path, you'll find yourself on a roll.
Turning back is sometimes difficult....follow the path of LOVE, GRATITUDE, KINDNESS...you wont want to go back; EVER.
Follow the path of finger pointing, self righteousness, negativity, pity and anger, and well....just remember that it's YOUR choice.
Turning back is tough....but you CAN turn back. (Remember..YOU CAN DO ANYTHING).
3. Love always wins.
4. From rain will come flowers EVERY SINGLE TIME. In fact, I'm waiting on CROP of flowers right now! I've got faith.
Statistics show that things can only get better...
5. Sunscreen will save your life.
Which brings me to my dream.
I cant turn away from this one, or chicken out, or doubt myself. We've got no time for that, and since this is my BLISS...I must follow it.
I've been busy...I work at it everyday, I am educating myself, creating open doors within my own personal life, loving and being loved.
I swear, I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE.
I am so thankful to finally see my own potential; I am so over joyed with our Foundation in which I can POUR my LOVE into, and I feel more alive now, than I ever did before I was diagnosed with such an ugly disease.
Absolutely NOTHING in God's world happens by mistake. It's SO clear.

Thank you SO much, Sisters, for helping me make my dream come true. I'm watching it grow...I'm headed straight down the Barefoot Sisterhood Path, and I will NEVER turn back.
Ever.
The biggest blessing about surviving Cancer, aside, OBVIOUSLY, from SURVIVING, was that the lights all came on.
I turned them on myself..with my words. With my Thoughts. With my feelings. With GRATITUDE.
And with Sisters, who carried me, when I wanted to just lay down and cry.
I hope you enjoy the dream.
I'm so loving this; I cant even believe it's real.
