grateful people stories
I want people to know there are infinite possibilities in life to be grateful for. I love that people feel comfortable coming up to me and telling me stories about things they have gone through.
cancer three lambs
Every now and again I just really have to have that steak or lamb chop. But yeah, B.C. - before cancer - I would eat red meat probably three or four times a week, easily. I am convinced that the amount of red meat I contributed to it.
taken people wigs
I've taken my cue from people here and from viewers, especially survivors-who said, 'When it's time to literally flip your wig, you'll know.'
believe thinking bears
There are those of us who believe out of that faith tradition that God never puts more on us than we can bear, and yet there are times, I think, particularly given what you were up against, that we have to question whether or not we have the capacity, the ability, the wherewithal, to actually endure it.
tragedy purpose behinds
The tragedy is not so much the experience that you're having. The tragedy is that we don't take the time to understand the meaning and purpose behind what we're going through.
thinking order way
You have to CHANGE the way you THINK in order to CHANGE the way you FEEL
believe optimism best-is-yet-to-come
It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come!
good-things willing position
You have to be willing to put yourself in position for good things to happen
would-be want reason-why
There is no magical reason why I am where I am. And there is absolutely no reason why you can't be where you want to be. If it can happen for me, it can happen for you, too. And it would be a privilege for me to help you get there.
right-now
I have never been happier, or healthier, than I am right now.
growing venture comfort
Venture outside your comfort zone. To stop growing is to stop living.
overcoming life-is accomplish
Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.
believe moving grateful
I’m grateful I had the strength to fight. It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come, especially when you are flat on your back and don’t know if you’re going to see tomorrow. I’m no Pollyanna, but I believe optimism is a choice — a muscle that gets stronger with use. Right foot, left foot…just keep moving.
believe adversity best-is-yet-to-come
I feel it’s okay to get angry with God. He can take it. Just don’t stay angry. It takes courage to believe that the best is yet to come. I hold steadfast to that belief, especially when I come face-to-face with adversity.
