Love To Breathe Tokens

I can't believe it's been two years since I passed out my first Love to Breathe Token. I just updated my map and I am blown away. 

My #LoveToBreatheTokens are in over 42 countries and ALL 50 states... there are a lil over 6,000 in circulation right now. 

Love To Breathe® is the legacy I have created to leave behind "The goal isn't to live forever, but to create something that will" and that is exactly my hope and wish for Love To Breathe® and my Love To Breathe Tokens. These tokens mean the absolute world to me. 

This movement has been so amazing and so rewarding to watch unfold. I am in awe at how far they have spread over these last two years. Never in a million years did I think they would have the response that they have. My goal is that everyone can be touched in some way by these tokens, and that Love To Breathe® will soon be circulating throughout 100% of the whole world, not just 21% of it. 

I created these tokens to spread more love in the world that so desperately needs it, and at the same time raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. The stories and the people I have met along this journey have been so rewarding and has filled my heart and soul with so much love. My heart smiles every time I get an email, a picture of one somewhere fun, or when I hear how one of these tokens has made such a difference to someone.... I am truly humbled and so very grateful. 

None of this would of been possible without all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has helped me spread love all over the world. Thank you for telling my story and for spreading the love and CF awareness through my tokens, it means so much to me. Keep sharing and spreading the love, together we can change the world for the better. Know that whatever you choose to do love will always follow it through!! 

Breathe out Love! Xo❤️ 

We All Have Fears...

"It's better to live one year as a tiger, than 100 years as a sheep"-Madonna  

Its easy to be a sheep when faced with fear. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat... CF is fear. 

I try to live my life as a tiger. This is not always easy, especially since you never know when CF will strike. Living with fear lurking over you can be daunting at times. However, I try not to let fear decide my fate.... If you can become fearless, your life can be limitless.

We all have fears, our fears help develop our courage... It might not feel like it but our fears make us stronger. The trick is learning how to rise up and be bigger than your fears and show them you are brave and strong. It's important to remember courage doesn't always have to roar. At the end of the day courage can be that quiet voice that says, 'it's ok we can try this again tomorrow.' The important thing is that you keep trying and you never give up. 

You have this one life... so keep living it. Make yourself proud by stepping out of your comfort zone and conquering your fears one day at a time. Breathe deep, and live your life like a tiger!

Scars

"Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove you showed up for it." 

I believe life is what you make it. So make sure you keep showing up for it time and time again. Get back up and keep trying! It'll be frustrating, but keep your goals in mind and stay focused... don't give up! 

Your struggles make you stronger, and you're strong! So be proud of your scars, and continue to give hope to others. Show them that if you can do it so can they, you just never know who will be watching. We are all fighters in our on way. Some of us just have to fight a lil bit harder. Keep staying strong!! Breathe out Love! Xo❤️

Life Is Colorful

I'm grateful for my struggles and without them I wouldn't have found my strengths... We all have struggles no ones struggle is less important or more important than anyone else's. We are dealt what we can handle, so remember to always trust your story. 

Having a disability doesn't give you a free pass to be mean, lazy, or rude. In fact it should make you more humble, sincere and more compassionate. It should give you a understanding and a drive to BE more and to DO more, and of course LOVE more. Life is colorful.... so no matter what is thrown your way always remember to keep coloring!!! 

Breathe out Love! Xo❤️

Love To Breathe Award

Tonight I had the honor to present the Love To Breathe Award® to Sue Meihls, the pediatric CF nurse at Primary Children's Hospital. 

She is very deserving of this award, and is everything this award stands for and more. Sue is passionate about CF, she's out in the community making a difference, she is always raising awareness, and she is loved by so many in the CF community. Sue ultimately wants CF to stand for CURE FOUND!! 

Her tireless efforts give so much hope and comfort to so many families. She goes above and beyond every single day. She's magical really, she can complete tasks and get things done even before anyone knows they are tasks.

Tenacious, Perfection, Friend, Compassionate, Empathetic, Reliable, Trust Worthy, Dedicated, Mother Bear, Loving, Hope, Devoted, Comforting, Hard Working, Passionate, INSANELYorganized, Sufficient, Thorough, Dedicated, Tan, Committed and
