"I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up." (Isaiah 49:11)
Tonight in my LPC course, Dr. Katie Brazelton blessed me with this verse from Isaiah. It was a huge blessing to me as I thought about all the mountains that have been in my way over the past few years and have been flattened into roads for me. Yesterday, was 2 years since the day I first noticed the lump in my breast. 2 YEARS!!! 2 YEARS!!! I can't believe how my life has changed in 2 short years. God has been right beside me caring for me, guiding me and bringing so many great people into my life!
On Tuesday, I will be under the knife yet again... this is the last surgery I have in the foreseeable future! I will certainly celebrate coming through one last dip in the road.
The highways are being raised up for me to cruise along the pathway to health, joy & purpose!
Thinking back over the past 2 years, causes me to smile with tears in my eyes. It is so nice to really be LIVING my life; I didn't even realize before that I was merely going through life. A subtle but enormous difference! How about you? Are you settling for going through life? or, are you truly LIVING your life.
Be blessed!

The Journey continues...
I really am so blessed! The past month has been absolutely crazy & wonderful! I completed my coaching course but have a few items to complete for my certification. I'm taking a second course through Life Purpose Coaching Centers and it completed the end of May. I'm hoping to take on a couple of coaching clients by the fall; it's such a great process and I can't wait to walk along side other women searching for their purpose & calling in life!
I've had some really exciting opportunities in the past few weeks. With MGI, I've run a couple of events - a half day event with the City of Edmonton, a training event for JCI Edmonton and a full day solo gig. Plus, I've worked several opportunities with Rick (Ryan was in Peru for 3 weeks). I've also done a couple of opportunities with churches: I worked with our Pastor's council and spoke at a Mother's Day brunch in High Prairie at my friend's church (thanks, again for the opportunity, Juanita!). God has been so good to me!
We started our teen girls group (Head-to-Soul Makeover) on April 20. Thank God for Janelle! She was instrumental in taking the vision I've had for so long and really putting it into a reality. We have 17 girls age 12-14 both from our church & from the community. We are about half way through the program and it's been a great success so far. Personally, I've found it to be a blessing and learning experience for me. In addition to Janelle & I, we have an amazing team: Christine, Cindy, Paige, Louise, & sometimes Ashley. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by these great women!
On the home front, things are active (to say the least). Elisa & Aphia are playing spring league basketball which has meant 2 games & 1 practice most weeks since early April. Sherwin is coaching the team and they are all having a ball! I'm so proud of my girls; they are playing awesome together this year. The team is often playing with only 6 or 7 players so all the girls play hard and have fun. It's inspiring to watch the team play with so much heart and great attitudes. Blyss started soccer the beginning of May. She plays on Saturday mornings and was very proud to have stopped 3 shots on net during her first scrimmage & kicked the ball 3 times in her 2nd scrimmage. She gets to play with her friend, Keenan, so she's pretty happy about that.
Last week, I realized that May 6 was the 20year anniversary of my High School grad. It seems impossible that it's been 20 years, yet, so much of my life has happened in the past 20 years - so much really great stuff as well as some pretty tough stuff. Over all, I feel so incredibly grateful for the life God has given me. I have an amazing husband & 3 terrific girls not to mention a great family & countless precious friends.
What are you thankful for? What keeps you going?
