By the grace of the trilogy and the spirit of my momma, I am a miracle. My gratitude knows no bounds.
Since Saturday, I have made great strides :
>I am no longer on oxygen
> I finished my book “Finding Hope” and paid it forward to a pastor
>Had my first rest day on Sunday, and Steve brought Lola to visit and sat outside for the first time in several months

Monday was a struggle. I had a full blown body ache, and struggled to breathe as a result of the double pneumonia.

M-Sat I see a Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, and Physical Therapist. I was concerned about the challenges, however everyone met me where my body was on that day.

I got super wide, supportive shoes that have allowed support, got compression hose, to support the massive swelling in my legs, and was challenged by my PT to stand and take steps.
Baring weight on my feet has been awful because of the major burning from the tightness.Regardless, he assisted me to stand and I took 3 sets of 6steps - Michael Jackson be warned!

Yesterday, I coughed a lot. However, when I went to dialysis (which I have T-Th-Sat), took my heating pad and the transfer tech put the heating pad behind my back and the recliner.
I was able to actually cough up some yellow sputum and suction it to clear out some of the gungkity gunk out of my lungs.

The dietician met with me with concern I needed more calories and focus on protein. Since I’ve been here, that’s what my goal has been “eating all the protein on my plate, regardless the meat (beef stroganoff, chicken, pork, beef, meatloaf, sausage, etc).

She however ordered my tray with SO MUCH FOOD, I couldn’t believe it! I have been in compliance and will continue to do so.

Yesterday, was a good day. I met the challenges head on, stood 3 sets with 6 small steps, while singing “Yankee Doodle Dandy”.
Sounds silly, but it worked.

My routine is to stay in the dining area, seated in my wheelchair, where I can take my time to eat, journal, and read. I try to stay out of my room, sitting upright to help my lungs.

When I do finally get in bed, I have to wear braces - Forrest Gump has NOTHING on me!

I live in gratitude, hope, acceptance, peace and love. I encourage others, and am driven to discover my purpose.

We all have “our story”, our individual journeys. I encourage you to take time to reconnect spiritually. I was the one who moved, the trinity has always been in my presence!

I’ll try to post updates more regularly!

Good night!🙏❤️‍🩹

“Pursue what is meaningful,not what is expedient.”

Good evening!

>Pursue: to chase, to diligently seek.
>Meaningful: having a serious, important, or useful quality or purpose.
>Expedient: a means of attaining an end, especially one that is convenient but considered improper or immoral.
>Integrity: a person's commitment to honesty and a willingness to do what's right.

Diligently seek what has an important, useful quality & purpose with integrity.

Integrity trumps expediency, always.

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
Much love,lisa

“A shift in how we think about life produces a shift in how we experience it.”

Good afternoon!

Today, our beliefs, prejudices and values are influenced by experiences of yesterday. We can not change what happened, but we can change the way we THINK about what happened.

Here are two options:
1. Die a little every day. Let what happened depress and limit you, focus on heartbreak, entitlement, unfairness, and/or loss - joyless life.

2. Live every day with an attitude of gratitude. Treat each day as a blank canvas. When adversity happens accept the challenge, utilize tools and/or skills, learn the lesson, and grow.

Today, and every day, learn and grow.
Attitude of gratitude is a pathway to experience daily love of your lifetime!

Have a marvelous, marvelous Monday!
Much love,lisa

“Don’t expect to see positive changes in your life, if you surround yourself with negative people.”

Good morning!

Negativity breeds negativity.

As the saying goes, if you surround yourself with “dogs”, you’ll ultimately get “fleas”.

However, at some point I have to ask myself the questions:
“Why is everyone so negative?!”🧐
“Am I the one with fleas?”🧐
“Could it be me?”😳

I can’t change anyone else. My power lies within openness and willingness to change my perspective, my attitude and myself.

Be the change you want to see.
Change is simple…not easy.
Lead the way.

Have a tremendous, tremendous Thursday!
Much love,lisa

“Doing your best is more important than being the best.”

Good morning!🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕

Tell that to my ego.🤭

One of my most important life-lessons is humility, and realizing “best” is relative to integrity, character and doing the next right thing.

I remind myself that I am the me of today, not yesterday, nor what I want to be tomorrow. Accepting where I am today, and utilizing my resources to be the best version of myself.

Progress not perfection.

Have a marvelous, marvelous Monday!
Much love,lisa🙏😘🌷

“Your response to the situation literally has the power to change the situation itself.”

Good morning!

I’m a lover not a fighter.

That truth is arguably MY perspective yet is conditional and contingent upon these two principles:
1) My spiritually fitness
2) My “H-A-L-T-S” conditions are in check

1) Spiritual fitness is about having a sense of purpose and meaning in your life - positive/healthy connectivity with my inner being and worldviews, faith, values, ethics, morals, as well as senses of purpose and connectedness.

2). My “H-A-L-T-S” conditions are feelings of being hungry, angry, lonely, tired, or sick. These feelings are more physical, and will change, when the appropriate actions are taken.

Remember: Feelings aren’t facts.

Pause…especially when agitated.
Be kind to yourself and others.
Respond, rather than react.

Have a tremendous, tremendous Thursday!
Much love,lisa🙏😘❤️‍🩹🌷

“Wherever you are investing your time, you are creating your life.”

Good afternoon!

This is a great reminder, and an affirmation I need to refocus on balance.

I have had a tendency to forego cultivating personal relationships and taking time for God, myself, family and friends, to invest the majority of my time working or busying myself doing “things” that take precedence over precious time with said loved ones.

There are no do-overs.

This weekend, today, right now are opportunities. Invest your time wisely!

Have a wonderful, wonderful Wednesday!
Much love, lisa

“When you know yourself, you are empowered. When you accept yourself, you are invincible.”

Good morning!

Just as our relationship with our Creator:

>When we know the Light, we are empowered with knowledge.
>When we accept the Light, we have an armor that is invincible from the darkness of these days!

Establish a healthy relationship with The Light, yourself, and be a light!

Darkness be afraid! Fear us!

Have a terrific, terrific Tuesday!
Much love,lisa🙏😘❤️‍🩹🌷

“You cannot breathe life into someone refusing to inhale.”

Good morning!

I awakened this morning at 1:31 AM, and began doing self-massage therapy on my neck and shoulders. Painful.😣

Fast forward to 3:23AM, I began journaling in my notebook, and wrote these two lines at the very beginning:

Inspire: To breathe life into.
I desire to trust and inspire.

Fast forward to 5:38AM, as I do every morning between 5&6AM, I called the RCDC UA Line, and the thought of the day was:

“You cannot breathe life into someone refusing to inhale.”

🧐?Coincidence?🧐
I don’t believe in coincidences.

My purpose, intention and desire are to inspire others (and myself) to live, laugh, love and rejoice, each day and every day to the fullest.

I will not allow others to be my killjoy,
and you don’t have to either.
Be your ideal self today.
Your choice…
Choose happy!
Live.Love.Be.

Just breathe…
Inhale the good.
Exhale the bad.

Have a fabulous, fabulous Friday!
Much love,lisa 🙏😘❤️‍🩹🌷

“Most profound personal growth does not happen in the calm, it happens in the throws of conflict.”

Good morning!

🌷Happy First Day of Spring!🌷

Enough cannot be said about having a deeply profound sense of gratitude from and without knowing loss, weakness and darkness.

Today, let’s remember to see the flowers and the trees, the beauty in the sky up above, and celebrate this new season of today!

Have a tremendous, tremendous Thursday!
Much love,lisa
