Ohhhh, life.
The radio show tonight was an amazing success. I can’t believe the support Team Courage and Courage Is My Strength is getting, it is so unbelievable to me that people ‘hear’ me, and stand behind me.
Tonight was a special night. Today we passed the 100,000 viewer mark on our YouTube channel. As the radio show finished up, dusk was falling, and I could see the tops of mountains right over the top of my computer screen. A huge full moon was peeking over the top and slowly moving into view. If you’ve never seen the moon here in this part of Colorado, you are missing a show. It’s tremendous!
Anyway, the quiet of my room, the beauty of the moonrise, and blessings from the radio show were all so touching to me. I felt at peace inside.
I visited Facebook, and was visiting my friends page, Tammy. Tammy is one of the women that I have become friends with through this blog and the videos. She is just going through chemo, and posted today that she needs hats and scarves from her friends because she’s starting to lose her hair. I read some of the posts from her other friends and she said something that I find myself saying all the time, but that has to be so ironic.
I am so thankful.
How powerful is that, that she’s losing her hair and says she’s thankful? How crazy must I be to be thankful for this year, after my surgeries and complications-both medical and personal?
But it’s not about us. Or about what we are going through. It’s about our friends that are there for us, holding our hands and our hearts as we travel this path together, just in our own ways.
I got misty eyed, looking at Tammy’s profile photo. You see a woman with a smile on her face, a tender look in her eyes, and beautiful dark glossy hair. And you read her humorous posts and know that through it she will be okay, but I wish I could take the hurt from her. Or at least hold her hand a little bit.
And I feel that way for all of my new angel friends, I wish I could do more for you. Tammy, I’m looking at the moon above the mountains, and I’m sending you hugs and love and prayers. Thank you for sharing, and for being my friend.
I hope that all of you out there get to be touched in your heart the way I have today. It’s been a bittersweet day, but I am still thankful.
I am thankful for life, for friends, for family and most of all God. For all of this is Love. I had stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer and now I am cancer free. Believe in all of your soul that you can beat this with God’s help and the love in your heart, will pay it forward. It was not easy, but the integrity, it has brought in my life, was worth every second of it. I love you all and will do anything in the world for any of you!!
