I've overcome some tough things in my life. What I've learned through them is that you must love and cherish life. Believe in yourself to overcome the battles. I lost 3 of my 12 siblings when I was a kid...all three were the closest to my age. I also lost a beautiful niece and nephew...major heart breaks.

I love to uplift others. I currently have a beautiful friend, Merissa, who is battling a rare form of leukemia. She exemplifies 'believing in yourself'. She's an awesome, inspiring friend. She is our lunch time work out instructor...always encouraging.

I sent her my 'believe' key. I know she will get well and continue to motivate.
