Happiness is a choice!

I was 16 years old and the “Elkington Fiddlers” were born.

I was sitting in church and was 16 years old as a  little girl played the violin while her mom accompanied her on the piano. She was  6 year old and she sounded amazing. I had never seen anything like that before. As I sat there I felt as though there were children around me and they were whispering in my ear and singing to my heart, ” We are going to do that mom!” I knew that was my mission in my life for my children. I didn’t know there were going to be 5 of them, but I knew that was what we were going to do. I really didn’t know  what it was going to take at the time. But that feeling in church that day kept me going.

Death changes you

I feared my mom’s death for as long as I can remember being alive. When she did go on to the next life, I thought my heart couldn’t take any more pain.

It took me three and a half years to visit my son’s gravesite.  I really can’t tell you all the reasons for this, but when I did, I didn’t cry. I know where he is and it isn’t there. Now I live, I will soar. I have chosen to live, so I will live. So many things on my bucket list. So many people to love and help Life is a gift. I want to share this gift So I will live. At the time I wrote this, my idea of, “so I will live” was that I wouldn’t do anything unless it was fun. Well, that lasted for

Happy Core Strengthening!

This is a little embarrassing. I thought with this cancer experience I would be down about 50 pounds by now. That is not the case. I am alive and curvy! That is ok. I am still a happy girl, yes a chubby happy girl. I started physical therapy and  I just couldn’t believe how much better I feel! I have been an exercise girl all my life. I was very surprised the muscles I didn’t realize I even had. I just want to share. If you can lay on your back, you can do this. I honestly just want to share and if I can help someone feel better that would be worth the embarrassment! I hope that this video will help you feel better and improve your view on life and your health and strength. Happy Core strengthening!
