I am just sitting here before going to the office, dogs by my side, sun shining and birds chirping. I just complete an order for my office for supplies with no issue. I am looking at my bank account and we are finally doing ok after years of struggle.

It has been a tough four years. I have battled two cancers and then advocated and helped save my husband’s life in between those two cancers. I have struggled financially, digging out whatever personal credit card I could find while I was managing two businesses from my hospital bed and trying to do whatever I could to make sure my employees were ok.

All …completely…worth…it. I know some people would say why did you do that? Well, because I wanted to find whatever way I could to ensure that something was there to come back to when I was well again. Yes, I incurred a lot of extra debt along the way, but now, I get to be healthy and I get to still have a work place to go to to take care of women of all ages every single day. This is a real hard earned/blessing combo. I realize that it required an extraordinary amount of effort and creative thinking in addition to the cancer battles.

But, here I am now, sitting here enjoying even the tiniest of successes. Everything has elevated in importance and significance. I realize that I already knew this before, but I cannot deny that my investment in health, safety, joy, family, and success has magnified. I am so happy that I still get to be here to experience it. I had an eagle fly over me the other day, which is yet another potential indicator of success and good fortune. I’ll take it!

Have an amazing day everyone.
