A Celebration of Life

The last couple of weeks have been filled with ups and downs…with embracing the unknowns and being ok with the a future that was uncertain. I have been taken back to being in the moment, being in the present and realizing that is all I have. The past is gone, the future is not here yet; so all I have is now.

And, in this present moment I have so much to be thankful for. For I received the call that I envisioned would occur. My five year MRI was done a couple of weeks ago and the results could not be better. There is no tumor. The team of doctors that worked with me when I was initially diagnosed said that if I got through the first five years without a recurrence of a tumor; that the possibility of it ever returning was slim to none. So I rejoice with the news. I am healed.

Through the journey since my diagnosis a lesson that has been evident is how important it was to believe in the connection to a greater source and embrace the community of like minds that walked with me every step of the way. I was never alone.

So for those of you who have faced life-threatening illnesses; either recently or long ago…know that you are not alone either. This community was created with you in mind. A Purposeful Community of like minds to walk this journey with you. Embrace your new reality. Embrace the now and know that the present is enough.

And…if the fearful thoughts and “what-if’s” about what the future holds start to creep in, don’t negate them. Look at that fear and when you do, you will realize the fear loses its power over you. Come back to the present and be grateful for this time. Your life is a celebration…embrace each moment – for it truly is a gift.

To your purposeful life,
