Momma Said There'd Be Day's Like This

One of my favorite affirmations is “I am exactly where I need to be right now”.

As many of you know, due to series of not super fun events and tough decisions I find myself back living with my parents in my hometown, in the house of my childhood. I am not the first Grad school graduate to be in this position and I doubt I will be the last given how hard it is these days to make ones way in the world.

In fact in light of recent events I am very glad to be right where I am.

We just discovered that my mom has cancer in her kidney.  It’s scary and sucks, but we have faith that it has stayed localized. We are still in the gathering information stage, but we are hopeful and positive.

I just feel really grateful that I am here right now to be with my parents and to give an extra helpful hand where it is needed.

Those of you, who know my mom, know what a strong, amazing person she is. She gave me permission to share this on my blog because she believes in the power of prayers and positive thought, and wants me to enlist as many people I can to send her good vibes. We have an amazing network of family and friends in the world who are in her corner and who have been showing so much support since we found out. I feel like the more people in her corner the better! 

Life throws you curveballs, and cancer is a big stupid ugly curve ball… but as a dear friend put it to me we have to keep “laughing, loving and living” because that is the “best defense against Cancer”. 

Light and Love
