What a wonderful weekend I had. I got to spend the weekend with my life long best friend and her beautiful family. I also fulfilled a dream. I spoke at the Tea for Tatas event that raises money for the the Lisa Boccard Foundation. I met Lisa last year and she gave me hope. She was a survivor of BC. Yes, was! She passed away this year. I remember seeing the announcement of her death and being so depressed. It took me a few days to get over the news. Another life taken by this horrible desease. So this year I reached out and asked to speak. I got the courage to reach out and be a part of this event. It was a little scary as I spoke in front of my husband for the first time publicly. But I think overall I did well.

But what I took away most this weekend was that we live our lives in what we call a realty which sometimes is not true. Two people can live along side each other and both can have a different perception. We look for love and friendships when in realty what we starved so much for was always there. The perception of competing for ones love was truly one made in the mind. Through our lives we meet people, some good and some not so good. We grow wiser with the years and learn that being present is such a blessing. I have been so blessed to have friends and family members to support me. Friends that I have known for over 30 something years. And friends that I have only known for a few years. All just there to support me. There is no better gift in life then that. So what I do know for sure is that we all need to communicate with one another, tell each other just how important we are to one another because one day it just might be to late.

To Lisa Boccard, you are an angle watching over us now. You are a true hero and I was blessed to have met you!

I got this! I am blessed!
