What word did you choose and why?

Love

Love has gotten me through a very difficult last two years. Love of God, family, friends and colleagues. Everyone was praying for me. I don’t think I would be where I am right now without it. It helped me keep a positive attitude all thru treatment. Don’t get me wrong, there were times that I felt so bad and so sick, I just wanted to give up. God would remind me – how much I was loved. I just can’t attribute it to anything else. That is life changing.

I ran across this David Crosby quote and I loved it – it says, “I don’t like greed, I don’t like ignorance, I really don’t like anger, but I love love.” That is how I want to live this year – I just want to spread the love.

I have had a beautiful opportunity to mentor another woman that has recently been diagnosed and this has given me so much. It’s been very cathartic to be able to walk her through this. God knew I needed to help someone else.

What is one major thing you want to focus on and accomplish this year?

I want to impart to my family how much I love them and appreciate them. We are going to be more intentional with spending time together.
