Oh man, so many of us can relate to this statement. I had an amazing day today. As many of you know I speak the truth from my heart without holding back on what I have gone through or what has made me stronger and secure.

Today was challenging and rewarding for me. I try so hard to see the positive in life’s adventures and challenges daily, but we all have those times where we have negative thoughts and question ourselves.

Living in a high altitude place has thrown havoc with my lungs. Many know that I have had breathing issues because of limited airway. I am on oxygen now for about 3 weeks until I move back to a sea level state. I accept this issue now, but in all honesty I was pissed and embarrassed. Trust me….I only wear it at home because I am vien, I’m working on this.

Hold onto the ones who do not judge you because of your limitations. I want to go back in time when my husband and I use to sing Sonny and Cher while Karaoking in Hawaii and everywhere else they had Karaoking. I thought I was so cool back in 2000, we actually held an elderly (lol) audience in Hawaii at the hotel. These elderly vacationers actually requested us to sing… Awww, those were the days.

I don’t sing anymore because my voice is not strong and half the words don’t even come out of my mouth when I have to try and push words…BUT…tonight I was at my daughters and we sang at the top of our lungs to Carrie Underwood and I felt a new life in me because she didn’t judge me or say anything about the way I sounded.

I realized that I don’t need to be ashamed of how I sound. I need to do what makes me happy and feel alive. Life Lessons are so amazing when we realize we are the only one standing in our own way. We don’t have to be the best of the best, we have to be the best for ourselves and hold our head high with determination and admiration for ourselves.

I love my everyday life lessons and tonight made me feel so much stronger than yesterday and feel amazing. I am not going to give in and I don’t care what I sound like when I sing. You can be assured that I will smile and feel joy in my heart knowing I am doing what I love and what makes me happy from this point on….No matter how I sound to others.

The lesson here is…..Never hold back on what you love to do if you have an injury and/or illness. Take that challenge and continue to live the life you love. People truly do admire your courage to be who you are without limitations. Yes, some injuries and/or illness give us big challenges to do what we use to do, but with alterations and determination, I trust everyone has the strength within to live the best life they can with hard work and encouraging words from others.

People who encourage you and love you for who you are are the most amazing people, my daughter is one of those amazing people. I am truly bless to have her as my daughter and blesses by those who do not judge but admire one’s courage to be happy with who they are.

Encourage everyone who tries…..
