I can't believe its been 3 years of living with her in my heart, so crazy... seems like forever some days and then some days it seems like just yesterday. I miss her laugh, her ability to make anyone smile, our chats, our coffee dates.... I miss her. 

So today Ill buy some stranger their coffee in her honor, and Ill get through the day knowing that she's closer than we think.❤

May is CF awareness month

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller

These words were on the wall at my clinic visit yesterday, such a great quote. It's so true, as much as I'd love to change the world I can only do so little. However if we all worked together and loved a Lil more and were kinder than necessary, we could do so much! We can make it happen!! 

Just like Id love to find a cure for CF, well I can only do so little. I need your help! I know that together we can make great things happen. 

May is CF awareness month so please help me make people aware.... we need a cure!! 

So tell your friends that CF needs a cure and together we can change the world!! Breathe out love! Xo

Me- " uh, you'll remember me I have a leash on my face" 
Barista- "Did you seriously just say that?"
Me- "sure did! See ya soon"

Ha. Went back to get the drink and when I looked down I saw my new name. So funny!! Made me giggle!!

Deep breath!

Breathe deep when you can fresh air is priceless, so is that deep breath. 

This X-ray was taken last June, there's still some room left in there. I call these my pearly whites, the white is irreversible scarring from the mucus and the many lung infections which result in loss of lung function. 

"Some days it's ok if all you did was Breathe." 

Breathe it all in, Love it all out! 

Have a beautiful day!!

Laugh as much as you breathe

Smiling turns into laughter and laughter equals pure happiness! When I hear laughter it makes my heart smile. It means that people are happy. They are not wanting or needing anything more than that very moment. Which is how life should be lived... In the moment. So smile and laugh and be happy, because this very moment is yours to cherish. Breathe out love! 
Xo ❤
