So I had a weird feeling come over me today. I was driving home from a lovely dinner with my friend Erin and her dog (yes she brought her dog out to dinner haha) anyway on the drive home I drove by the hospital where 7 months ago I had surgery. I was jamming out to Kelly Clarkson’s new CD “Stronger” (BTW you should REALLY listen to that album it’s so good!) and the song “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” was playing. I of course was jamming out…then I saw the sign for Mount Sinai Medical Center and I was singing the chorus “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger stand a little taller…” and I started to tear up. I just looked at the hospital and remembered that day and how scared I was. I am so much stronger than I give myself credit for. I REALLY am. I need to remember that. I wasn’t tearing up because I was sad that I went through that..I started tearing up because I survived being told I have cancer. I survived surgery…everyday I am surviving something (we ALL are!) We are strong. We are fighters. Life is messy but it’s meant to be that way. Tonight it took driving by the hospital to get myself to remember how amazing and beautiful life is. Sometimes it takes looking back on how far you’ve come to help you move forward. I am truly blessed. My life isn’t perfect but then again whose life is? No ones! It’s not meant to be perfect. We are supposed to screw up. We are all just trying to survive something. Doesn’t matter how big or small you think that something is, the only thing that matters is that you’re going through it and it is real to you. I just hope that everyone going through something right now has someone out there to help them through it. Friends and family can save you if you allow them to. 

Peace and love! 

Enjoy the song :) It’s one of my favorites. It reminds me that there is so much to look forward to in life. The future is so mysterious and scary but guess what? You never have to wait long for the future..with every passing second the future becomes your present moment..Enjoy right now because that is all we have! <3 <3
