Creating a Meaningful Life
God’s love is never ending. It is a love that never goes away. A love that you know in your heart is true and unbinding. The way we follow in God’s teachings and ways shows our love for HIM. After all, God gave us His only son Jesus for us to have eternal life. Now that is love! So we are rooted in His love and we are established in love when God created each of us for his purpose. How amazing is that my friends?

I am totally late in posting in the New Year of 2023. It seems to be the way of my life for the past almost two years, I hate to admit. Ever since I had to change my MS treatments, my life has been in a whirlwind of so many things. I am yet to find a treatment that fits my life. That is the ultimate goal with the treatments, to slow the progression of the disease and to find one that helps you live your life. And right now, I am still in search for just that. I have gone from feeling so sick I can’t get out of bed, to so tired I am not sure how to function, to feeling I am not sure what to feel, and to my current state of getting 10 days a month to really feel “okay.”
I am not one to really tell you the whole truth if you ask how I am doing. I will give an answer I truly wish I could say. But I have learned in this “trial time” of finding my life back with a new treatment, that I am not how I wish I was feeling. Not even close. I will not let this stop me from staying positive or happy, although some days do get the best of me. I have learned to be more honest with others and most importantly with myself. What good am I doing my family, if I am not at my best?
On a positive note and SUPER important fact of my treatments is the fact that the treatments ARE WORKING!!! Best news and the results you definitely want to hear. Thank you God for doing just that and so much more! So as much as I feel I am complaining or not feeling my best, I am forever thankful for the treatment to be slowing the progression of the disease down. Now is the time to try to find a way to get all the other “stuff” figured out and not compromise the treatment.
So…with all that said lol, I have so many goals and ideas I want to accomplish that have had to be put on the back burner or put on pause or not done the best way because I have not had any energy or stamina to make them come alive. It has been very self depleting to want something so bad but your body, because of an illness you were blessed to have, does not allow to happen. I have lost my zest and spark of creativity and being a difference maker over these past two years. I feel I have let others down, myself down, and let God down too. So I am here to say, or maybe, PROCLAIM!!! I put my faith and trust in God to continue to guide me in my health journey and in all aspects of my life. Nothing that happens is not suppose to happen. So these past two years of feeling like poop, was suppose to happen. I am stronger because of it and will do ANYTHING to be an ABLE MOMMA to my children. And we keep fighting! MS will not win. Not today, not ever.
I thank you all for your support!! XO
To all my family, friends, and all those I am blessed to know…Happy Thanksgiving!
I have such a deep gratitude for all of you, and hope you know that!
I wish you all a day filled with the ones you love, a day to talk about memories of the ones we love who are no longer with us, a day to eat as much as you want and enjoy each bite of it, and a day to remember all that you are grateful for.
But remember to ALWAYS know and be thankful for all the good you have.
Gratitude goes a long way. A beautiful way to live too.
There are many people who are given health diagnosis that chose to affect their body. A health diagnosis that was out of their control and not caused by anything the person may have or may have not done. That is where the “no choice” makes them nothing but…
STRONG!
I am fortunate enough to have met many people who this applies to and they have all made such an impact on my own health journey. The very first person who inspired me to no end was a girl I worked next to in my salon suite. She was a young, vibrant, full of life momma who loved her work and loved her family. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and never once let that stop her. If anything, it made her live even bigger than she already was. I was fortunate to know her and will forever thank her for making such an impact on me when I was diagnosed with MS and still in times of life today.
So to all those out there past and present, THANK YOU for being the inspiration everyone needs to show strength and tenacity in hard times. And for showing us to live life to the fullest. Because of you, a person gets stronger every day sharing inspiration along the way!
When you look at a person, do you just see the “physical” person, meaning you see their body, their hair, their face, etc. Have you ever seen someone and thought, ” They have a certain presence about them?” This may appear as confident, or happy, or calm. I know I do. I have been in a store and see a lady or man who just come across to me and someone who is sweet and kind. I am drawn to those types of people. But don’t get me wrong, sometimes I have been totally wrong about them. I may say hello or smile to ones who have a presence about them. Sometimes it brings on a very nice conversation that impacts me or sometimes it is the person’s actions that make me notice and replicate to others myself. It is that “just have something about them” type of people that we see.
But what if we looked at everyone like that? Because we all have “something special” in us and about us. We all have a light inside of us that we may not have lit at the moment or we may not even believe we have in us at all. But we do! It is up to us to see that light in others and bring that light out to shine BRIGHT!
God gave us all a purpose to bring forth in our lives. Let’s start shining our light onto others to know they have a purpose with God too!
