Celebrating the good...

My life is about celebrating and appreciating. I am so thankful for the lessons that I've learned and what I have faced in my young life.
Some people are able to go through life with little upset, disappointmets and loss. I am so happy for them! I wish I could say the same for me. Yet I am thankful for the challenges I have faced because they have taught me so much. I never want anyone to go through what I have.. Losing my Mom to a devastating illness at 53, my Dad dying from a heart attack at the age of 68, my partner being diagnosed with breast cancer..to name a few things.
I like to think I have handled all of this with great strength and a positive, happy attitude. From all of this I have had many great things and people come into my life. That is why I am thankful. I have so much to celebrate.. my health, my family, an amazing son, my friends, my career.. I can go on and on.
Keeping a positive attitude and being thankful for things I do have is a main reason I have been able to manage tragedy. Focusing on the things I can control and helping others do the same is what I focus on now.

Unfortunately tragedy can strike at any time. Therefore it is our responsibility to be prepared because this is what we can control.
I can help you with some of these..
- you may get ill or severely injured
- you may die too young and force your spouse and family to struggle financially
- you may be fortunate to live a long life but not have saved enough money for your retirement and become a burden on your kids

I am not suggesting that any of these things will happen.. and I certainly hope they do not. By having a few plans in place, you can make sure that if the "what if" happens that you and your family will be ok.


Thanks for reading!
