Thanks for joining me as I write the pages in the next chapter of my life…

I love watching the sunrise…I hate being awake that early but I love watching the sun come up and bring new a day with it. I believe that every sunrise brings an opportunity to do be better and to be better than I was at last night’s sunset. On every trip to Oahu I watch the sun rise over Diamond Head, watching the sun come up over a dormant volcano is an incredible show of nature. I get this surge of energy through my body and feel incredibly blessed. I am always grateful for the view and spiritual experience. I don’t know how to describe it other than spiritual, something comes over me and I feel powerful, like I’m limitless and can face any challenge head on then I’m suddenly humbled knowing that I am existing in this moment and this daily occurrence has happened long before I came into this world and will continue long after I depart. This photo was taken from my balcony in March 2021…I knew in my heart that it would be the last time I saw that view as the woman I was once was. I knew that the next time I would be watching one of my favorite natural beauties I would have a renewed lease on life. I knew that life as I knew it would never be the same and I gained true acceptance. I knew my what was happening in my body before my doctor confirmed it and I knew I was going to fight for my life.

Dear Diary, Surprise surprise it’s 4 am again and look who’s awake and blogging! This is the 2nd time this week (it’s Thursday morning) that I’m up at 4 am. One day I’ll get this normal sleep schedule down. After some reflection I realized that we as humans take what we read and try to…
Chapter 46.5
Dear Diary, I have received an overwhelming response from my last post. I’m grateful for the outpouring of support. I want to make it very clear that I have no intention of committing suicide. This is more of a failure to thrive situation rather than be wanting to cause harm to myself. I’m not planning…
