Bad things happen to all of us, things that test us, impact us and change us, but it is not those moments that define us. It is in how we choose to react to them that does.” -Choosing Hope

This blog is now an extension of my memoir, the lessons I have learned over the course of the past 33 years. I want to share them with you. I want to share them with anyone whom they may help. I have found in my journey, and more recently in my travels that when we share our stories, our truths, our good and bad experiences -we help one another immensely.

And so, I want to share with you my daily journey of choosing hope. It is a choice. A choice that I make every single day, when I wake up, stretch my arms, put my legs out over the bed and my feet hit the floor and it’s a choice that you can make for yourself. I will share with you here each week my personal struggles, trials and triumphs-it isn’t the things that happen to us that define us, but in how we choose to react to them that does.

What will define your life? The choice is up to you.
