Letting Go
Enjoy life!
I L.I.V.E every day and as a result I will leave behind a legacy that will hopefully allow others to journey along a path that is not so harsh, not as lonely and not nearly as painful.
RX for Optimism
I’d like to share with you a story about a woman. Her name is Yvonne Springs. She endured repeated domestic violence, but for fear of the lives of her children she didn’t run, until they were safely tucked away. By 26, she had four children and had remarried. Although her life was ahead of her, she was living for her children. Wanting to set an example for her 2 daughters and 2 sons she would not allow other societal role models to set the paths for her children.
Faith Engine Check
I perceive faith as a positive notion, akin to trust in God.
Active faith, then, would aim to remove negative thoughts about my illness, which could easily dominate me, and replace them with trust in God using a positive attitude.
The Reinvention of Me Part 3
My life-long dream of being a practicing physician was stripped from me in an instant, but stepping up to the plate, even when I was afraid of striking out, has taught me how to “step out and find out!” I L.I.V.E every day and as a result I will leave behind a legacy that will hopefully allow others to journey along a path that is not so harsh, not as lonely and not nearly as painful.
