June 2, 2019—Happy Bonus Life Day! I was 21 years old, a junior in college, when I was diagnosed with cancer. My life stood still. I was no longer invincible and I was shocked.
Fast forward more than a decade to today, which marks surviving cancer for 14 years. I am the most blessed human being I could ever imagine. I have a husband, three step kids, two dogs, two fish, an amazing career, friends, family and more life blessings than I could ever dream. Overcoming cancer gives you a perspective in life that is really rare and I really cherish it. By the grace of God, I received that perspective when I was so young that I have consciously lived my life with intention, gratitude and growth every day since.
When you are diagnosed with any challenge in life, you can easily look at the issues and feel like there is no way out. Yet, I believe that my life's work today is to encourage you—to be a light and give insight into a dark world. You have everything you need to succeed within you, all you have to do is look for it. You must be around people that ignite hope, joy, passion, encouragement and love to win. I hope that I can be that for you in life. I started the blog this year because I believe my mission is to be your source of light and insight to your spiritual, mental, physical and financial health.

Having been at the lowest of lows, you learn a lot about yourself, your drive and who you truly are. Since then, I have advanced my life skills, soared like eagles, risen when I didn't feel like it, celebrated moments with champagne, illuminated darkness and shared it with the world. Life is not easy. And, I don't know that it's supposed to be. God is with us always, guiding us, pushing us, showing us the way. All you have to do is look for it. Don't let little pebbles trip you on your mountain climb. Keep your sights high and focus on your target.
I know that I am gifted with a unique perspective that will change the lives of more than 1 Million people. Join me on my quest to improve everyone's life that you meet. I invite you to subscribe to your life!
