In my life, I have experienced beautiful family and friends, wonderful experiences, moving music, yummy food, amazing job opportunities, surreal experiences, incredible world travel, mesmerizing nature, fun holidays, a supportive healthcare team, and everything in between and along the way, a lot of which I have documented in my blog for more than a decade. While the past few years have been a struggle health and life wise, nothing was in comparison to the struggles I faced this year. In a single day, I faced the most incredible pain, but also the most incredible joy. The journey to motherhood has been my soul's purpose in this life, and it has not been an easy one to say the least. But with my husband by my side, every single moment has been worth it. So much has happened that it has changed me, my priorities, and my perspective in my life as a woman, wife, mother, and also being so much more. I am stronger, fight harder, try fiercely, give more, live fuller, love deeper, and so much more. There are no words to describe the experience to becoming a mother, for my son is my life, and there are no more words to describe my life anymore. There is only living it in each moment, soaking up the happiness, peace and love, and just being. I'm going to taste the foods and listen to the music and hug my family and friends and see the sights and listen to the sounds and live in peace, love and happiness. I'm going to enjoy each good and difficult moment of this blessing of a life on this journey of mine. Nothing is more precious, nothing is more challenging, nothing is more perfect. In this last blog post, I start a new chapter of my life, for the rest of my life, and to know that I lived in each moment. With that thought, I am signing off. Lots of love, light, peace and happiness to all :-)

I Lived by One Republic

Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad (Yeah)
The only way you can know
You gave it all you had
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes,
You'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
Yeah with every broken bone
I swear I lived

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away
