I AM GRATEFUL TODAY for finding the courage in January 2013, not only to create this blog; but to write the first post, “My Final Season: How I Choose to Live It.” For the first time, I came “out-of-the-closet,” writing about “letting go” and finding ME.
On this journey of finding ME, I discovered:
- SELF-LOVE – I now value and give priority to MY OWN HAPPINESS.
- SELF-AWARENESS – I now look within and choose to be; and, I am confident in MY OWN CHOICES.
- SELF-LOVE – I now love me enough to create MY OWN PEACE AND JOY.
MOST OF ALL, I AM GRATEFUL TODAY for the path I follow, daily, as I continue on this journey to find “ME.”

During this final season life, I am going on a journey to define "ME." Opening up and going outside of my comfort zone to redefine ME.. Exploring and pursuing new interests that will lead to personal happiness, serenity, and tranquility.
In undertaking this mission, overcoming the FEAR is my greatest challenge. Fear has played a large role in my life, but I overcame the FEAR of breast cancer, chronic pain associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Sleep Apnea.
My new mantra: FEAR has two meanings: "(1) Forget Everything And Run, or (2) Face Everything and Rise. The Choice is Mine."
Blogging here I come ready or not!!!

I guess I’m at the point where you were, when you had the courage to start this blog ~ so your words and pictures are an inspiration to me. The last few years have been tough, dominated by complex family issues which have ~ quite literally ~ brought me to a standstill and forced me to re~asses. After years of pain, I was diagnosed with osteo~arthritis this summer and also show early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. This has actually been a big relief and given me permission to devote the latter part of my life (I’m 62) to doing things for me! Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my posts! 🙂
