Hi! Remember how I had emergency major abdominal surgery a little over a week ago, and how it stopped my workout momentum, my modeling shoots, my sessions with clients, and my holiday plans with my kiddos? I was not, even for a moment, mad. I got curious. Since I’m a spiritual person, I thought- okay what am I supposed to learn now? Who am I supposed to become because of this? Who can I serve now that this has happened? I was not, even for a moment, sad. I got grateful. If you follow me you know I’m always focused on gratitude - it’s a lovely way to live each day for ourselves and everyone around us. Also it brings more things to be grateful for into our lives. But when you’re literally given a second chance to be alive- HOLY MOLY that’s a gratitude I’ve never felt so deep in my core. So with that gratitude I commit to NEVER GIVING UP, LOVING WITHOUT RESTRAINT, and BEING ALIVE AND AWAKE EACH MOMENT! See, I don’t think the universe is testing me, or is out to get me. I have learned to trust it, and myself, to do hard things so that I can’t get complacent in my purpose, my service, or my fierceness. In humble gratitude I say “Let’s do this!”
