Everyday is worth a smile

I am on a mission in life to remain happy, to be that one person to help and change other peoples lives. About 2 years ago in 2009 I found out my liver was in failure, turns out an infection over came my organ due to the epileptic medication I had been taking for years. While at this time, the amount of sadness and depression in my life had started to become unbearable. I did not want to do much of anything, I stopped working, I cried alot, I moped around, overall I let it ruin who I was. To this day, I had in and out of hospital and doctor appointments due to this problem. I have been on liver treatments for almost 2 years now and it is getting to an overwhelming point but I found a way a while ago to remain "happy". A friend of mine said to me when I told him about my liver failure "Wow alcoholic, lay off the shots", he knew I hated to drink and drinking was so far off from a past time of mine, but he said the best thing, he didn't say "oh my god" or make me feel pitied, he made me feel good. Since then I chose to live my life normal, no matter how painful or tiring this has become, I always look on the brighter side of everything.

**Russell**1983-2011

There are many things to say regarding my dear friend Russell..He was amazing, wonderful, spontaneous, funny dude ..etc. I have known him since I was 4 years old..I can honestly say some of the best years of my life were spent with him and his family. My bff growing up was lil miss Rissa & Lorren was our mentor, she always tried getting us to not be stupid haha We had our own little childhood group going on, I guess you can say the Trouble Makers of Cadet Ave and Londontowne, but honestly, ringing peoples doorbells, throwing bricks in the street (accidentally hitting a car haha), riding our bikes, Lorren showing us how to do cartwheels etc all was just us being us! We had the best childhood together!

Russ is now an angel to look over us and I truly feel blessed to have known him! I pray for his peace and I pray that he is up there break dancing away with the angels above! His memory will live on forever!

My hubs

My reason for being so happy! We have that kind of love that is so awesome and special and he helps motivate me to be better. Love him to pieces!

Excited for transformation of both body & soul...xoxo :)

Welcoming a new today! Excited for absolutely everything with my journey on to a better me. I began doing P90X at the beginning of March this year, I took pretty much that entire month to get used to an extreme workout system, tweeted my diet a little bit and figured out ways to make the most of this new lifestyle. This little bit of a experiment lasted me until mid April. I have now decided this is the time for me to change my world, change the way I live, eat, workout, etc. I am beginning my transformation countdown with Insanity. I have really cracked down on my diet and am hoping for extreme results fast! I am ready to push myself to the limits that I need to be at.

Super excited !
