If we are not intentional with how we choose to live our lives, surely we will get lost.

This is where the optimism sits.  Grief can coexist with gratitude.  It can teach us that we are not our trauma.  We are not our programming or conditioning.

You cannot move forward in your evolution, while clinging tightly to past pains in the present moment.  This very moment is all you have.  This is the reality of life. 

In aiming to shift a chaotic response pattern, a daily commitment to the creation and dedication of a personal practice is necessary to support and guide our thoughts and stagnant energies with loving kindness.  We must offer the sweet space for intentions to grow into fruition…for thoughts and ideas to at the very least, be acknowledged- yet also to dismiss what no longer serves us.

  I am currently cancer free and plan to keep it that way.  I truly believe that my higher self, my guardian angels, God, the universe…they all held me up during my darkest times, and led me right here.  My perspective on life has changed drastically, and has inspired me to continue my quest to live mindfully and presently…consciously.
