Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring except for my thoughts... To all of those celebrating this Holiday season I wish you a very happy and Merry and joyous Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, or what have you. I wish a smile for your face, love in your heart and you get to spend some time with someone who means something to you. Happiest and most successful New Year, to you and your loved ones, whatever "success" means to you. Thank you all for indulging my rants, my frustration and my positive hippie posts. As another year comes to an end I am reflecting on my priceless friendships and family. Trying to hold gratitude and be thankful. I'm feeling a bit broken, exhausted and useless. The last few years have been difficult but i gain perspective and strength in navigating each day. I am grateful for all those who have touched my life and those that touched theirs, without you, I would not be the person I am today. I thank everyone for their lessons and input. I am blessed and humbled by each and everyone of you. I also am thinking of too many who are not here for these Holidays, sending love and strength to their loved ones, and thinking of those struggling this time of year and those no longer with us. I am trying to make everyday count. I encourage all of you to embrace what you are thankful for and to be be kind, forgiving, loving and less judgemental, to not only the world, but especially yourself. Acts of random kindness change lives, even just a smile does wonders, eye contact, smelling the flowers, take chances, be present. Be the change my friends. A friend once brought up New Years and said he sets goals rather than resolutions... I loved that!! Suggest it highly. In the new year I will find a way to fight on, breathe more, keep in better touch, be easier on myself and make my dreams come true, just for starters. Be better than you give yourself credit for because you are.
All my best! Merry Christmas, God Bless, and be well.

I ramble and dont like to think about these before i write them. Please be patient with me...
Pics of me 3 years ago. Right after I was able to hold my phone and 2 days after surgery and me Today. It is my 3 year anniversary of my heart transplant. 1095 bonus days so far (not including the 106 days from crossing over and back, conversation with Dad to my new heart) What a road it has been. Learning, gaining appreciation and holding gratitude for all of it. Sometimes the darkness is there to recognize the light. Amazing moments with varying emotion attached to all of them. I cry, I smile, I get mad and I rejoice and anything else you can imagine I have been feeling it.
Wish all of you and my family who have been part of my journey, especially my donor, his family and my medical team, nothing but the best and an abundance of love. Without all of you I would definitely be long gone. I'll never be able to explain it all, and may those who haven't been through never have to gain the perspective I have. Take care of yourselves, live life, but allow moderation to be part of it. Don't sweat what's not in your control. Have respect for yourself and others and know and honor your worth. You deserve it and you are worth it!!

Would you live today like you are if you knew there would be no tomorrow? Love and live with all you have and leave no words unspoken, no task big or small till "tomorrow". Moments good or bad are fleeting and precious. Try to make the most of each. I type this here not to preach but to remind myself as much as those I cherish and appreciate!!

At this time 23 years ago, millions of Americans and the world went to bed quietly, with no thought that the next morning their world would change forever. That night hundreds packed flight bags they would not live to open. Thousands slept with loved ones for the last time. One never knows what a new day has in store. Let us live each one to the fullest, and never miss a chance to let those dearest to us know of our love for them.

Tonight, now, if you have someone in your life that you love, tell them!!

Good Night, God Bless and I Love You.

Wishing a very Happy Mother's Day and thank you to my mom for all you put up with and do, for making me so I can know all these people reading this. I love you more than I could ever express. Grateful and blessed to have such an amazing woman raise me well.
Thanks to all your mom's for making me such great friends and to all my friends who are moms... new & seasoned... mom's of humans, fur, scaled, amphibious or feathered babies, single dad's playing double duty, those taking up for others who couldn't and to all those with moms out there... you are all so amazing to me.
Extra love to those not with us or those who's child has passed and those who desire a child but have been unable to, for whatever the reasons may be.
You deserve far more than could ever be said or done in a post or in our lifetime. Your thankless, neverending work does not go un-noticed even if it feels like it sometimes. God bless you all for the thankless, selfless, unconditionally loving sacrifices you have made for your babies

Thank you 2023 for all your lessons, musings, moments both good, not so good and down right questionable motives. I am still standing, breathing and living. Moving into 2024 with humility, grace, knowledge, wonder and curiosity... The plan is to have an amazing, healthy, happy, prosperous year. I wish and challenge you all to the same. Happiest of New Years to each and every one of you and your friends and family, my donor and his family, my medical team and those who have touched my life you are all precious, priceless, needed and important.

"Nothing is ever easy and why would it be? Easy sucks worse than hard because you don't ever gain anything when its easy. Embrace your struggles for they make you tolerable to the majority because we all struggle..."
-Jordy Towers
- May your struggles be fewer this year!!

To all those struggling, missing someone, hurting... the holidays can be very difficult times. Know if you are reading this you're loved and appreciated at least by me be kind to yourself and honor your feelings.

A friend once said on New Years he sets goals rather than resolutions... I love that idea!! In the new year I will fight on, breathe more, communicate better, be easier on myself and make my dreams come true. Observe and be curious, not judgemental. Finish writing my book and be better at being of service, just for starters. Be better than you give yourself credit for because you are.

All my best! God Bless, and be well.
