Final Count Down...Baby #2
It's the final count down. Baby number 2 will be here tomorrow. Sounds surreal I know! The feelings I am having are all over the place. My daughter and I are so close and I kindof thought for a while I would be ok with just one child but once we got pregnant again it was as if this baby would complete our family. I am so excited to meet her tomorrow.
My daughter is having a hard time with it, change is hard for kids, change is hard for adults, but I know the minute she meets her she will be just fine. A part of me feels like we are starting over and this time I swear I will not rush it. I will not rush her walking and talking and growing up.
You know once I was diagnosed with cancer I really felt like this baby was brought to me to save my life. She helped me cope with alot of obstacles in my life these past 5 months and I owe her a lifetime of happiness and love and tons of kisses.Whenever I was down she would kick me and I would laugh and be ok again.
She's my saving grace, both my girls are, they have helped me appreciate life a lot more and I am grateful to them for that!

Allow Peace in Your Life
I started the month of February with the mind set of looking to do some healing and allow peace in my life and I must say although I still have Thyroid Cancer I have enjoyed the last 24 days more than I have enjoyed the past 3 months. Peace is something we must have within ourselves. Life is not easy but peace helps guide you through the hard times to help you shine light upon the good times.
Focus on Peace, Focus on Love, Live for Today! No two days are ever the same, hard times make you stronger, and good times make you appreciate how you got through the hard times.
Please all be good to yourselves and allow peace in your life. Try today to really find healing, not just for health reasons but for peace of mind. Live Today, you never know how tomorrow will be.

Act of Kindness For Self Gratification
We all have this misconception that if we do good for someone we shall get it back and most importantly those who do good deeds should never use that against someone to receive something in return.
I always believed that if you do good, good will come back, in one shape or form, not necessary from the same source not in the same way, ex: donating money doesn't mean you will get money in return, doing good for your neighbor doesn't mean that the same neighbor will do good in return. BUT this does mean that you do goodness out of the sole purpose of the goodness of your heart, you will receive goodness back, not from the same neighbor and maybe not in the form of cash but sometimes even the satisfaction of inner gratification should be enough.
I heard this passage the other day and it made me truly think:
"Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ in front of others, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." Matthew 6:1-6
Do not brag about your good deeds, do not expect people to acknowledge them right away but do know that good deeds do bring you good things in some shape or form. And the best form of an act of kindness is self gratification without having to have someone else praise you for it. Do it for the goodness of yourself!

Happy Ash Wednesday- My Inner Voice
I always loved Ash Wednesday, I am not sure why. Maybe it is because the next event it leads to is Easter which is my all time favorite holiday. 5 Years ago around this time I was involved in a really bad car accident. I was on my way to refinance my mortgage, I was currently unemployed because the company I worked off sold and my husband and I were not having any luck getting pregnant. So needless to say it was not a great point in my life.
Then bam, I was getting on the Merritt, it was rainy and my tires spun out and I lost control on my car. I kept thinking get off the Merritt, avoid any cars, just head towards anything but the other cars. And I did, I ended up in a tree, the front grill of my pathfinder took the in pack and saved my life. It was folded in half, wrapped around a tree. I walked away from that accident without a scratch and luckily everyone else involved walked away fine too.
I remember attending Mass on Ash Wed. I remember sitting there and thinking I almost lost my life when I heard a little voice say "thank you for keeping me alive." They say we all have guardian angels and after that day I totally believed we do. My inner voice, my protectors were giving thanks for a helping me stay alive.
We all have a spiritual guidance within us, we all have a connection that once it is brought out of us we are able to find a sense of peace. Unfortunately I will never forget that accident, but luckily I also will never forget that sound of that little voice that made me believe my time on earth was yet to be fulfilled.
Two weeks after this accident I started a new job and found out I was pregnant with my daughter.

Power of Prayer: Healing of the Throats
Today in my quest of healing I attended a service at our church that was a healing for the "throats" . At first I thought it would be emotional for me but as we were waiting in line and I was up next I looked up to see my daughter smiling in my husbands arms and asking if she could do it again.
I know children are a lot of work but my daughter is so good for my soul that it is worth every ounce of work to have her in my life.
If you have never attended a healing service you should. My godmother actually bought me a healing mass when I was first diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and thought it was a great gesture to let me know she was thinking of me and sending prayers my way. If you are ill and never attended one you should, they are quick and you get this sense of peace afterwards. Really powerful yet so simple. I am going to attend another mass on Saturday that is a healing for the sick.
My journey to healing has begun and feels really good! Start your journey today to making peace in your life wherever you most need it.

February Month of Healing
My life is not what it was 4 months ago. My life changed a lot and I have a lot of things in my life that I set aside and never really dealt with. I chose this month to start healing my body and my mind before my baby arrives March 1st and I have surgery for my Thyroid Cancer April 1st.
See we all have a plan in the back of our mind at how we think our life will turn out and when that plan changes we have a hard time accepting it. A lot of people in my life that I never thought would hurt me have, a lot of situations I handled I never imagined I would face. See we all aren't who we think we will be, sometimes we are better sometimes we aren't.
I have a rough couple of months ahead of me and decided the best way to prepare is to do some healing, searching, acceptance of what has happened in the past and understand that people will hurt you only if you allow them to hurt you.
So I woke up on February 1st and said I am gonna take this month and be a little selfish, distance myself a little and learn to like myself more, regardless of what other people want and expect from me. I was going to take this month to heal before I needed to focus on my real healing in April.
At the end of the day this is YOUR life, you can not hurt unless you let people hurt you, stop looking for acceptance, stop expecting people to understand how you feel or cut you some slack because you have been dealt a bad hand. Do not pay so much mind to what people do to you, treat others the way you want to be treated but most importantly love yourself, accept that you will do the best for yourself regardless what others want from you.
Start today by healing and letting go of the hurt but learn the lessons and make sure to not repeat the lessons. No one is perfect, not everyone will like you but you must like yourself. Don't let people treat you any way you do not want them to treat you. Do not allow yourself to get hurt. Stand strong and in the end of the day love who you are and no matter what others want from you, put yourself first. It's your life!
Start healing today!
