I am so touched reading everyone's stories. Before my mother was diagnosed with stage 3a lung cancer in Oct. 2008, I had no idea the beauty that the spirit can radiate during the toughest times. This is a whole new world to me. For a few years, I have been a practicing life coach who has taught people how to overcome obstacles my going within and discovering their true power. However, little did I know that God wanted to teach me more about this beautiful light within us with my mom's situation. I hadn't reached out for help since my mom was diagnosed, and then I found this site. I was feeling so much anxiety and sadness at times. No one close to me knew, because I wanted to be the strong one. I say, "I'm stronger than I ever knew. Weaker than I could have ever imagined." But, maybe my weakness isn't a bad thing; it led me here. I have found more beauty than my eyes could ever see on this site. Some of the biggest heroes of the world, can be found right here. How is it that during the times that seem the darkest in our lives we find angels walking among us here on this earth? That is what all of you are to me. I thank you for shining your light on me and I am forever grateful! I believe you are helping heal the world with your love and optimism. I am lucky to have found you. Thank you for being with me on my journey. Today, I don't feel as alone as before. Bless all of you.
love,
Tanya
