Be an Inspiration!

Wow, I had a couple of weeks of a non-stop sinus infection that really knocked me down for a while and my poor kiddos were hit with a stomach virus.......so it has been a germ-fest at my house lately.


Thelast few months have been a cleansing one for me. I decided really to take a look at myself and to change those behaviors that are negative and harming my life.  I have quit smoking, became stronger in my faith of God and stopped associating with those who always seem to cause drama!  I have to say that I am much more relaxed and happier and my husband and children have noticed a difference as well.  I had to let go of some friendships that were toxic and were constant strains on my emotional well being and I feel so much lighter now. 

I don't usually tell many people that in December 2010 I was diagonsed with cervical cancer  and since I was pregnant with my son there wasn't much we could do at that moment, so in 2 weeks I will having more biopsies and determining what treatment is best.  I am a little scared but I know that God is with me thru all this and that cervical cancer is very treatable without many side effects.  I have amazing support from my husband, family and community.  I know that this is just a trial that I have to conquer and this does not define me. 

I have decided that through all this I will not tolerate certain things from people who claimed to be my friends, instead I will be an inspiration and I will rise about the turmoil and tribulations and come out happier and a better wife, mom, daugher and friend!

May God bless all those affected by Cancer!
