Behind you are all your memories and in front of you chase your dreams! You are your only boundary~

I just heard a few quotes that sum up how I feel

"Lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep"

When we are faced with any life altering events, life's unforeseen, or anything not in our control
it is how you react, rise, treat others, Walk down the new path with confidence and faith, the people you hold near in your life, and CHOOSE to live life lovingly.

I am approached by complete strangers often and asked
Are they all 5 yours? (umm No I just drive through the neighbor hood pick up random kids and pay their dinner bill)
Do they have the same Dad? (I'm not sure once all the test come back I will let you know)
2nd marriage? I have had a few more than that)
Is he adopted? (I think so)
Don't you know what causes that? (Robs quote: Have you seen my wife?)
Are you done? (Is anyone ever done?)
I'm sorry! (I realize this)
I am smarter than you because I stopped at two.(What three of my 5 should I tell)
Do you home school? (I am not educated in teaching, Teachers have degrees to teach)
I don't know how you do it ( I will line up the kids today and tell them I quit)

I am joking with my replies above as I do not waist energy and my time to reply at all
I never answer as I do not feel a desire or need to address, explain, or answer what is non of their business. I find it really humorous in fact.

I have also lost many whom I consider a friend when I was diagnosed with breast cancer (my life's unforeseen event)
To my surprise some I would of never thought, not a, I'm praying for you, you will be fine, a simple text, phone call message or card. My own biological father and many family members on my husbands side never reached out to us at all.
Now that I am well and return to my normal life I see some who have lost interest and no longer communicate with me.

I drive and see the horns blowing and road rage, frowns at the grocery lines. People too busy to stop and help someone.
I refuse to let the little things interfere and shadow over my light shining brightly.

We now have two totaled cars (one in fact had my 3 little ones as the front nor side airbags never deployed and we walked away unharmed)

I have said many many times, finances and money do not define me
I can lose my home tomorrow and God always will provided and I trust in him.
Our children have been through our ups and downs and will land on their feet with their own challenges life can bring because they have not been sheltered and experienced many unforeseen.

I feel such happiness and am so blessed the negative does not interrupt my life
I am here, I am healthy and I am raising 5 complete BLESSINGS with my best friend of 21 years my husband!


To my children

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed  in the things you did not do than the things you did!
Behind you are all your memories and in front of you chase your dreams! You are your only boundary.
Do not tell me you cant, you mean you wont, because if you really want it you WILL!

Courage is not the absence of fear it's the conquest of it! The sky is the limit! Your positive mental attitude is 80% of any battle or achievement already won, add faith a leap!

Happiness comes from within you and it really shines through and is infectious!

I truly and honestly have no anger , disappointment towards any friend or family member in the least. I cant control their actions nor comprehend how they think or feel. I simply have complete forgiveness in my heart. I am so full of love and happiness.

My life is all about dancing in the rain, not waiting idle for any storm to pass

God is good each and everyday!

I was invited to speak at "live Strong' this fall in hope to help others with cancer, ease their fears and help in any way I am able. I still am blessed as I am given the privilege to help others often and share all the positive outcomes. I am sprinting (not walking) on that fork in the road I was projected down that ended up being the path I am intended to be on. My life is forever changed for the better and is enhanced with knowledge, strength and love.

I trust, have faith, no fear, laugh, love, recover quickly, and live everyday with happiness and a smile
I woke up breathing today so its going to be a great day! Its that simple!

I am doing great, am graduating to a blood test every 6 months instead of every 3. My last cancer detection blood test came back perfect!
I am upon my 2 year cancer survivor anniversary

I will have a graduate next year and my 2nd oldest is entering high school. Elementary school is great fun watching my daughters grow and learn. Our 3 year old is learning and growing by leaps and bounds

My son will be the class of 2020, when our youngest graduates he will be the class of 2032!
We are gearing up to have one in college one in high school two in elementary and one in preschool! I am here I am healthy and I am holding their hands,and experiencing all their milestones and dreams coming true! I have no problems!

God Bless
