LIVING YOUR DREAMS...!

I am SO excited about my life right in this moment in time! I feel at peace. Finally.

If you know me well, you know that I have struggled with many, many disturbing physical symptoms. They include fatigue, shooting pains, achy joints and muscles, numbness, and even PARALYSIS of my face and arm!
All of this was "unexplainable," according to the various doctors I have seen over the years.
They aid, "It's all psychological. Try an anti-depressant,"

Last summer, I became unable to work outside the home anymore, so I resigned form my long career as a Child Psychotherapist, and decided to PURSUE MY ART FULL TIME!!!
I was going to LIVE MY DREAM!!!!

So, I've struggled along for the past several months, was hospitalized 5 times since October (!) and still, NO EXPLANATION!!!

Today, I recieved a phone call that CHANGED MY LIFE! I had a blood test result that explained almost ALL of my symptoms!

I have Lyme Disease.

LYME??? I didn't know much about it, so I went online, of course. and read ALL I could about it. Seems like mine started a long time ago, and is now considered incurable. But, it isn't life-threatening, it DOES come and go, and, most importantly, I HAVE AN ANSWER!!!

THis has propelled me to REALLY WANT TO CREATE!!! I jsut want to be in my Art Room all day long for the rest of my years, and inspire others to live THEIR dreams!
Life is TOO SHORT!!! DO what you LOVE!!!

I am now on 2 Design Teams, and I am loving every minute!!
I think I will do everything with a greater ZEAL now! I do't have to wnder what's going on with this body of mine... I know what I have, I know who I am, and I know what I'm doing. I'm LIVING MY DREAMS!!!

It is only by the grace of God that I am sitting here today and writing this. I thank Him for all He has done and is doing, and WILL DO in my life, and it is my prayer that anyone who is reading this today, whether you are a scrapbooker I know, on a Design Team with me, a co-worker, a friend from church, or someone who thinks they are reading this "by coincidence," I want you to know that God loves you, and once you know Him, nothing can ever separate you from the love of God. Thanks for visiting me here. Love, Cindy
