Creating Balance
I love awareness. It may be slow to come to the surface, but in time, when we’re ready I suppose that awareness is gained, lessons are learned, growth occurs, that enables us to do and be more. Last year was the hardest of my life, and I've been through a lot in my 41 years. I got my moms’ "fatal" diagnosis of her returning cancer and a plan for the next 2 years to go to chemo every Friday to manage it – not cure it. ...A challenge for you!!
Its time for me to be transparent and completely present in this journey. As many of you saw in Denver I was looking a little on the chunky side (putting it nicely) and this week marks the beginning of my journey back up that hill that I let myself slide down. Now, through the last year I’ve made good choices. I’ve stayed active, I worked out daily, I ate healthy but only about 70% of the time (not good en...The power of this process
The power of this process As many of you know since October of last year I have been fighting the battle of cancer with my “mom” who at the time was given 2 years to live. We were told that her cancer was everywhere, not curable, only “manageable”. I began this process with a very open mind, and positive heart believing that it was my purpose to create a new path of feelings, beliefs, and thoughts for her...."Attachment Disorder"
I have been doing a lot of thinking about a conversation I had with someone last night at the ball game. Her job is working with people with attachment disorders. I thought how interesting. How do you deal with that and what exactly classifies a person as having this disorder? Is it circumstances, behaviors, loss? I think about how many of us here probably have attachment disorders of one level of severity or another. I mean, realisticall...One of the hardest nights of my life.
Last night was one of the most difficult nights I have ever been through. My girls had a friend spend the night, actually she’s been with us for the entire week. At 3:35 in the morning one of my twins ran in screaming at the top of her lungs, I have never been woken up like that and pray I never do again. I have never seen such fear in her eyes or felt such fear. She was screaming “OH MY GOD MOM, KAEDESHIA IS SCREA...Working on my profile
So this morning I am making a few changes to my profile - today marks day one of my 8 week SUPER SUMMER CHALLENGE ~ and even though I may not be eligible to win (besides I was blessed enough to have my dream vacation to Hawaii with Bill and other Champions back in 2009 and I already have my cherished gold medal) I am always in this with all of you.

This is why I don’t blog anymore about this – because I get about 30 minutes into my post and something happens and its GONE – poof – you’d think I’d learn by now…but no.

Today was a tough chemo ...My own personal truth
Let me start by saying this may be ALL OVER THE PLACE. My heart, mind, spirit and soul and reeling in thought and feelings and I am trying to put my finger on exactly the message being sent to me.....I know the message has to do with "finding, exploring, feeling, enjoying that which is MY personal truth".What does that even mean? To me it means being completely in touch and in alignment with my authentic self. No denial, no excuses, no ...Final Pictures 1-10-10 Challenge

I am modifying this to meet the 500 word essay but wanted to keep the longer version recorded somewhere so I could always look back and reflect: To say I was in a place of darkness before I came to Transformation would be an understatement.
