Encouragement to All...

I just have to say a few things and hopefully this will be encouragement to all who read this…

This may sound familiar to one of my friends here on café mom…once I wrote it I wanted to share it with everyone…

 

I have always said...especially after the house fire...that, when we die, it is not the car or the house we live in that people will remember...It is not all the material wealth we gain that lives on in the heart of many…

It truly is the love you spread upon the world and the lives you touched with your words of encouragement, hugs, love and compassion you pass upon their soul and rests in their minds...It is the laughter you brought into their world and the tears you shared in sorrowed times…

I wish sometimes people would stop to realize this...Don't get me wrong, I love my UGG boots, but they won't be remembered. It will be my heart and smile...my courage to proceed with my walk through life…to reach for the stars...

After my kids died I went through a whole lot of soul searching per say...I always wanted to be a model and actress...So I did it...I wanted it and I did it...I even met some wonderful movie stars. I was going to do a movie for a well-known actor and now producer...

But, then I got really sick and had to leave the angel city of dreams. And at first, I was so bummed…

But then, I realized I lived my dream!!!...I went for it and got it...I never gave up...I flew to a few cities did some modeling work...felt what it felt like to be in a models shoes...the limos, planes, the crew~ makeup, hair stylish, clothes person (I cant think of the word for them)…My entourage? The photographer, the sets and the beauty. It was magnificent and I loved it...

I moved to L.A to pursue my acting career...took my whole family with me...I loved every minute of every hour of everyday...I did a few movies, commercials, etc....I met some amazing people...I lived my dream...I lived right by the beach in a great city~ and I was right where I wanted to be!

I had a fire in college in my dorm room and lost everything I owned. At only 19 years old, I learned a valuable lesson to never let your possessions possess you. Then I stored all of my things away when I went traveling for two years. Now that I've loved and lost a boyfriend to suicide, I, too, feel as if I'm learning the lesson of loss all over again. And I, too, feel he is watching over me, guiding me in some way to continue to follow my bliss, push the edge, take risks, go for what I want and deserve and know that I'm going to be okay...in a way, I think he is able to be of service to me so much more now than he could when he was alive...and I know that makes us both happy now.
It feels good to write.
