LET IT START WITH ME

OOOPS I DID IT AGAIN!!

I let a man destroy my peace. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS YOU CAN LEARN IS THAT A HEALTHY LOVE DOESN'T HURT....IT HEALS.

YOUR PURPOSE

Your purpose is not the thing you do. It is the thing that happens in others when you do what you do.  

You never know…..

You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone's entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep...

BACK ON TRACK

Ok, maybe not entirely back on track. The past 3 months have been challenging to say the least. I have been through one of the worst years of my life and I have to say this includes some pretty hefty life tragedies. I wish I could put it all out there but can not do...

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION NEEDS IMPROVED UPON

THE GIFT OF LIFE

I met an unassuming gentleman yesterday and the more we spoke the more I realized he was a very special person. It took a couple hours of conversation and my blood donation story for him to divulge that he has donated bone marrow twice. Once, for his father and once...

KICK THE HABIT

As usual, the Holiday Season proved to be a very busy time. During his time I was elated to hear from a friend who sent me a note to thank me for helping him quit smoking 8 months prior. " Thx to you 8 months cigarette free. Good people do good(sometimes amazing)...

Medina you ROCK!!

Thank you Medina and Raspberry and the Rose Boutique for BEING A LIGHT! We battled the aftermath of a Tornado Warning and chilly weather but had a great time meeting wonderful people! Took shelter in a cozy place down the street periodically where the workers jumped...
