Where
did the time go? I was 25 years old, 10 years ago in the month of
September. I was 25 years old and thinking of school, and work. When
I was 25 years old my life was consumed all about me. Little did I
know that things were going to change for me a year later when I
watched my father fight colon cancer. Life is not all about me, it's
about somebody else. Be strong when someone is weak. Love the Lord
when things go wrong in your life.
This
past year in my life, I had decided to make some changes in my life
and make some major goals for my future.
Health
was most important factor in my life. No, I don't need to lose
weight, but exercising is on top of my list. Cancer is my fear in my
life. I was not being active in my daily life. I purchased Fitbit and
notice I had 2,000 steps in my daily walk. Scary! Also, my mother and my younger sister advice me to work out. These ladies push me to
better myself and my body. Thanks mom and sis!

Less
about social media and focus on volunteering, exercising, catching up
at home, watching my favorite shows, hanging with my family and
friends. Please forgive me if I miss your birthday, commenting on
your vacation, family's pictures, pet's pictures, or your friend's
pictures, or your status. I have to a balance to my life. Computers
do not rule my life. I choose to live in the real
world.
Growing
up in the hospitality industry appearance is very important to
the public. I found when you exercise all the time less makeup and
working less on your hair. This was a huge sacrifice that I was
making this year.
Worship
and Prayer in traffic. I found the best times you can have with the
Lord is in traffic @ 8am. Patience is key during this time. I found
myself avoiding accidents and not having a flat tire on busiest
highways in my hometown. Thank you, Lord for protecting me!
Lastly,
this week, my cousin passed away from cancer. This was my dad's older
brother- step daughter, Tracy Crowe Fash.
I watched her fight breast cancer. I was not close to my cousin, but I prayed a lot for
her. I was believing for a miracle for this young woman. I felt it
was a duty as my dad's daughter to prayer for her. I watched Tracy
beat cancer 1st time and watch the pain of Tracy fighting for her
life 2nd time. Tracy lived her life to fullest with her family,
colleagues and with friends in her last days.
As,
I turn 35 this month, I leave words from my cousin,

:
"I may have a non curable cancer but I can't help feeling so
blessed by the wonderful people in my life."

Psalm
91:4-5(CEV)
“4 He
will spread his wings
over you and keep you secure. His
faithfulness is like
a shield or a city wall.5 you
won’t need to worry
about dangers at night
or arrows during the
day.”
Many hugs to my dad's family, Tracy's friends & love ones.
