Invitation to be the speaker of a fundraiser for cancer
I have been invited by my friend Joyce Cain and the Paul Mitchell Academy to give a speech about my struggles with lupus and Leukemia, how I continue to fight for the ones I love, how I overcome little by little, and how grateful I am to be here today. How everyday is a blessings starting with every breath I take and how the love of my family and true friends get me through the rough times. I'm honored, flattered and blessed that I have been invited for such event which is a fundraising for cancer. What an honor to serve as motivations for hundreds of students who are trying to achieve their goals and make their dreams come true! If you would like to contribute to the fundraiser, DM, PM or Text me for more details. Thanks for your contribution.
"Living with lupus...." I was asleep dreaming and someone in my dream said this to me. Woke up to make this. For we're all Caterpillars waiting for transformation. Forged in fire the most precious diamonds are found. And it's not just lupus but life itself. #seethebeautyinthefirethatforgesyouintoapreciousstone #themost #beautifulofthemall #diamondareforever #lupusaintbeatingmedowneasily
Feeling like am dying:( the pain is the worst I've had this month! Right when chemo was working. Sigh
My life Everything, all the things, all the hurt, the tears, the pain, the uncertainties, all the illnesses, all the places, faces,, deployments trips, all the dreams, all the shattered hope, all the people, all the ex-friends, all the ex-jobs, all the politics, sports, religious beliefs, all the broken dreams, all the bad news, all the battles and the scars, all the casualties, all the books, all that has been gained and lost, all that has been given and all the ache and all the laughter. All of which has been mentioned has led me to this very moment right here and right now. I have my best friend as my life companion, and we both share the blessing of being parents to the most beautiful and amazing 2 boys one could only dream of having. All of these years my husband and I have shared, all of the goals we've set in life, that one by one we have achieved. All of that and more has made me the toughest, strongest, bravest person I know to date. I can say that I'm realized as a human being, woman, mother and wife. Daughter, Friend, Patient. So I know that everything that has happened in my life, all the pain I have lived through and all the tears I cried. All the friends and family I lost and every light that died and every betrayal, everything was worth it. Because today am loved, needed, and wanted. So if I was to die tomorrow, I can say that I had it all. Lived it all. Knew a lot. Knew many people that changed the course of my existence one way or another, went everywhere and gave a lot. All has been a lesson well learned and every smiled today has been well earned. I'm at the highest, most amazing time of my life. I've learned to accept and cope that my illnesses are here to stay but my will to fight is too. And so I keep fighting. I have to live through pain everyday to see the blessings I've been given. I'm enamored with the light that brights my days and the love that warms my heart. I may not be rich but I have all of that which I dreamed one day an thought would be impossible to have. I'm blessed beyond words. I have been given more. More than I dreamed. More than I asked for. More than I deserve. I'm complete. This cycle of my life is complete and cherished. Now everyday that comes is another blessing. Every breath I take, every heart beat, every step I make, every smile and tear an laughter and everything my eyes can reach to see. I have it all. But to have all that I have at this very moment, I have been forced to give up most of what I loved. Yet I have more than I gave up in order to gain what I have today. Aches and pains will accompany me forever. But so is the strength the Lord is giving me to get through. The love of the 3 men I love the most in my life, is jut icing on the cake. And my husband's love and his acceptance of who I am just the way I am and still looks at me with eyes filled with love; THAT is the cherry on top. I lost it all to have it all. My life is now complete. Back to bed I go now, lay my head on my pillow and rest for a new day to come if it comes. But if it doesn't; I had everything and had the life one could only dream about. How about you???...... Can you say the same? .............. Written by Jen McCulley Copyright

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
There are so many to be honest but I remember as if it was yesterday I was so little and my daddy took me and my twin brothers to watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Maybe that's why I love that movie out of the quadrilogy, because it was the very first movie I remember watching in theaters with my family and I was maybe 3-4 years old. That day Harrison Ford, and his Indiana Jones Character became my biggest crush! haha!
