Listen To Your Inner Voice

Do not look back only look ahead

At all that awaits you

Look at this moment

Feel what you are feeling

Experience this present moment

For you have made a choice

A decision that will steer you

In a new direction

Opportunities will open up to you

Keep your heart open

Trust your instincts

Listen to your inner voice

You have the power

To access your inner wisdom

Listen

Stop

Breathe

Be still

Be quiet

Let your wisdom guide you

On your own personal journey

By listening to your heart

Your soul will be alight

And let you be

All that you are intended to be

The future awaits

With open arms

But it is how you deal with

This present moment

That determines what the future has in store for you

Your actions today will determine your tomorrows

So be present in this moment

To reap the kind of tomorrow you dream about

It has been said since the beginning of time

Ask and you shall receive

And so it is

Know what you want

Ask for it

Dream it

be it

And live it

It is all there for the asking

From the Book - The Whisper Of Your Soul

You Are Still Beautiful

The Planting Of The Seeds

The journey of life is never a straight path

There will inevitably be detours and stops along the way

The power is within you to make the changes

To discover new horizons along a different path

 The key is to have the courage to confront the unknown

I Am So Proud Of You

Today I Celebrate 18 Years

Today is my birthday. Today is eighteen years since I felt a lump on my breast. I remember feeling intense fear, sadness, disbelief and so many scary emotions.  I knew in my heart that things would never be the same again. I was diagnosed with breast cancer when my son was five and a half months old. I remember thinking he would have no memories of me. I prayed and hoped I would make the five year mark to see him

step on the school bus so he would remember me. Day in and day out through surgery, grueling chemotherapy and radiation treatments I imagined him getting on the school bus. Whenever I felt sick and wanted to give in I visualized him waving goodbye to me on the school bus. Five years later when the day arrived I imagined sobbing at the bus stop. Ironically the bus never came the first few days and I drove

him to school. It was a dream come true for me to reach five years of survival.

Every year I set new goals for living another year and watching him grow up. Amazingly it is now time to send him off to college as he gets ready to spread his wings and leave home.  Thinking back and realizing I never in my wildest dreams believed I would see this milestone.

I always dream in smaller increments and am so thankful when that day arrives. Now I visualize and dream of his college graduation - four more years please. What a blessing to be alive and healthy. I am very grateful and appreciative for the gift of eighteen years. 

Books that helped me as I recovered:
Dr Susan Love's Breast Book
Full Catastrophe Living - Jon Kabat Zinn

A New Day Breaks

The day is just unfolding

So much to do

So much time

Time is limitless

Like a vast ocean

It goes on and on

Time is but a fraction

Of what you know it to be

The moment is all there is

Embrace it

Live it

Savor it
