Um hello yummy McDonaldâs! đđđâ Yesterday we revived a delicious good old classic, meal from a beautiful family weâve never met in person before. {đđŒSwipe for evidence}. â â This may not sound amazing and wonderful to all of you, but to our family, it was a MOST thoughtful gift. â â When you have an experience that forces you to look your own mortality in the eyes, your life flashes before you. Every little detail from your past, present and future. â â It is incredibly liberating when you make the decision to live the way you need to live and not on others expectations.. as long as you know in your heart youâre being a good person, and surrounding yourself around other good people. â â Trust me, when you live your best life and donât worry what others think.. youâre also giving others the permission to do the same. And if you have kids, youâre teaching them to do the same đ„°â â Itâs such a wonderful, liberating feeling to see the beautiful in ALL of lifeâs glories. â â None of us know how much time we have left on this earth so LIVE BIG!! DREAM BIG!! đ«đ«â Now thatâs freedom!! đŠ @neeru31 @mcdonaldscanada (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBV1BeFAT5K/?igshid=gqjixxwvq4ku

Holy CHIZ-BALLS đ€©đ„° These Orchids though!!â When we are struggling, we have to remember how far weâve come!! Look back and reflect on the person âwe wereâ. Whether thatâs from a cancer journey, a divorce journey, or parenthood journey, etcâ because ultimately our quest is to become our best self!! We need to blossom within our own Orchid bouquet. â â We need to remember we are worthy and deserving. â đwe will fall off track.. remember we were brave enough to get on the track to begin with. â đwe will hit a road block.. take a different route. â đand when our progress is slow.. know weâre still lapping everyone too scared to start. â â When you surround yourself with beautiful souls, the two souls soften together. Our energy feeds off others and we most often naturally become what we surround ourselves with. â â So wouldnât it seem logical that instead of being jealous of people who have a life that âyou believeâ is what youâd love to have, you should surround yourself with those people.. instead of belittling and being jealous of them?â â How aboutâ the next time you feel competitive, you take a step back, look at yourself in the mirror and wonder WHY you are feeling ânot as worthyâ? It all stems from within. It has nothing to do with the other person. It is you.. and where you put yourself in their circle!!â â When someone accomplishes something you want to accomplish.. congratulate them and send them love. This is how we ALL WIN. So letâs shine the light, đŠ praise others and build each other up ... WITHOUT having to tell the world you are doing it. â â If we all followed this.. imagine the world weâd live in!! The love would be flowing everywhere. I am choosing THAT mentality. This is how we âriseâ in PEACE and LOVE. This is the âlegacyâ I choose!â â Believe and cheer on others in their success and surround yourself with those who believe and cheer on yours. â â You're kicking ass. Weâre kicking ass and living!!â #iamalive #youarealive (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS7suygTEv/?igshid=1dn9306wlrt0i

Let's be real, it's not realistic to feel super happy and confident every moment of everyday. But it is realistic to improve on your best you, EVERYDAY!â â When we evolve as humans itâs hard for us to accept and trust âour ownâ new us. â â I know who I am and I know my mission is VERY clear. But it still can be hard to be the new me. Iâm not talking about being afraid of what other people think and if Iâm being judged!? Iâm really ok and feel secure with all of that. Itâs more my own judgment against myself.. am I truly ok with what I feel Iâve been called to do? Or am I just following along what I assume others expect of me to be?â â Itâs time to get out of our own heads! Be our best us! Follow our own heart and allow ourselves to shineâšâš (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBPGw27gpCt/?igshid=us4th4a26mvt

He is definitely MY WHYâ€ïž In January 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. You donât come out of that the same person. You go into battle an innocent bistander and come out either dead or a warrior. #sorrynotsorry for being so blunt. â â There are a few things I know I need to do to stay healthy. â â 1. Mental healthâ Say NO to anxiety. đ« When I start to feel anxiety coming on, I stop what Iâm doing and walk away. I reassess how I can achieve my end result by taking a different path. A path that feels good. A path that feels right. I will always find a way regardless my fears!â 2. Physical strengthâ I know I need to keep my body strong. đȘđŒ The serotonins and endorphins released during exercise help my mind stay focused and positive. But as time goes on Iâm realizing it also is my only hope to achieve daily functions we all take for granted to get through each day. â 3. Love and supportâ All of you. My earth angelsâŁïžâ â Seriously though. How did I get so lucky?â #lovehim #alwaysthereforme (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBM9OgughLk/?igshid=1a1zstn2e8j9q

Potato soup and cheese biscuits. Hello amazing đđ„°â This isnât just dinner. This is a meal made with love and filled with feelings of gratitude. â â I know we are very blessed to have my parents stay with us, loving us and comforting us in every form. This brings along with it a sense of PEACE that can not be bought. â â Within my ovarian cancer diagnoses I have been able to find my peace. It is NOT something to search for.. it is something to acknowledge, accept and feelâ it is something to just be. When something interrupts your peace, IT IS OK to back away, it is ok to re-assess, it is ok to just be you. â â It is your God Given Right as a human being to live your own peace. Take a look in the mirror and believe in YOU. â â â When you focus on being your best you (no more comparing to others) your presence is felt before you even walk in a room. You radiate, you become a warrior and play the crap out of your cards youâve been dealt. Donât ever doubt yourself, your potential, your greatness or your worth. â â Happy Sunday!! xo đ (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKVWIKA-L7/?igshid=1rx5bbz2xptwr

Left đ„âštaken last weekâ Right đ„ âšone year agoâ One year ago I focused on loving my body and keeping it strong for whatever would come next with my ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment. â â Today I hang on for dear life (to my fireplace mantel) while doing simple intentional moves. â â Am I disappointed that I am not stronger than I was 1 year ago?? NO WAY. I am grateful for NEVER QUITTING and NEVER GIVING UP on my temple. â â I now have days I can barely make it up my own stairs .. but guess what?? If I would have given up on my strength, my body would have given up on me a long time ago. â â If you really want to find peace within your size, shape and strength.. you need to come at your body from a place of love and compassion. It needs you to care for it, to love it and to nurture it. â â You are worthy of loving yourself fully no matter your size or shape. â âŁïž Look at yourself in the mirrorâ âŁïž Truly look at yourselfâ âŁïž You are not just a bodyâ âŁïž Iâm so glad I never gave upâ âŁïž You are beautiful from the inside outâ âŁïž Recognize your beauty and strengthâ âŁïž Believe in your whole selfâ Let it all shine through.. I promise it WILL. â #wevegotyou #strongertogether (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJDARggP6n/?igshid=1ved1n95osrd9
