My new venture- a labor of love in progress

This new venture needs to speak for itself- as I continue to expand it, this blog will be linked too. :)

I'm not dead yet!

So after months of trying to work through health issues, life issues and all sorts of things that the world has thrown at me, I have been dragging pretty badly. Some of this has to do with the depression I'm being treated for and with the bug I have been down with this week. Some of it has to do with how I'm living.

But I had this sudden and enlightening moment on my drive home from a doctor appointment tonight. It's absolutely brilliant and if I can only remember it, I will always be filled with strength and power.

Here are my incredible words of wisdom: "I'm not dead yet!"

That's right folks, this simple phrase often repeated in my home with a laugh as a line from Monty Python, is changing my life right now.

Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?

But here is how I look at it: I am 31 years old, I have been unhealthy for a long time, I have dealt with and put myself through a lot of stupid and painful stuff in my lifetime, but I am still living. I WILL NOT be broken, I WILL NOT be beaten, I WILL NOT surrender. I am a warrior of the bravest sort- the woman who gets up each and every day and fights for her family, for her life and for herself.

My dreams are waiting for me to achieve them. My joy is waiting for me to grab it. I will not sit idly by hoping that something good happens someday while I wait for it. I will make good things happen. I will create my opportunities. I will work for what I want. And little by little, I will do more than just survive.

I will thrive!
