My Best Friend & Sis Dani @min_svart_ros has Carcinoid Cancer and Pulmonary Hypertension

Dani is an amazing woman, mom, wife, and friend. She will be there for everybody and now it's our turn to be there for her. Dani has Carcinoid Cancer a rare cancer that can't be cured. Carcinoid tumors are a slow-growing cancer that can arise in several places throughout your body. Carcinoid tumors, which are one subset of tumors called neuroendocrine tumors, usually appear in the gastrointestinal tract (appendix, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum) and in the lungs. 

Besides Carcinoid Cancer Dani also has Pulmonary Hypertension. Pulmonary Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery,pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries, together known as the lung vasculature, leading to shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Pulmonary Hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and heart failure.

Dani has always been there for me and so many and now we can be there for her in her time of need. Please click the yellow donate button on the right side of my blog and donate whatever you can to help her with her medical and transportation expenses for her Cancer and PH. All amounts help and if you can't donate just sharing this post will help to get it to people who can help. 

Please help this amazing woman and my friend live a long life. Thank you so much.

Inspiration and Moving On

I haven't blogged in a while so decided that I need to. I have finally realized some good things in my life in the midst of all the bad. My true love and soul mate Rob who will never leave me and I will never leave him! I love him more than anything in the universe beyond. I used to doubt things in my life like the good would never stay but good does stay. I have finally realized that. I have finally realized who my true friends are and I believe it and love them with all of my heart! My fiance Rob is also one of my best friends, Sarah, Ellen, Delphine, Jen, Dani, Lisa and Lippy! I Thank God for bringing all of them in my life. I'd be lost without them! I often had times where things would go bad and I would get so down and sad and feel like things would never get better but they always did and always will. I realize that now. I have finally moved on from all the bad stuff. Bad things will always happen that is life, but it's how you handle them that makes you the person you are. I feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders. I hate how negative I can get and I am working on staying postive. My Nana has almost died twice. She has alzheimers and lung problems. She came back again and the hospice people said she could live 10 years like that. It will be really sad when she does pass. I wouldn't love country music as much as I do without her. She and I would watch CMT back when it was nothing but music videos. Life goes on though. 

I have to mention how important and amazing my Hero Alyssa Milano has been to me. She's not just my favorite actress, she's someone I consider a friend. She makes me smile and laugh everyday. She has the biggest most compassionate heart. She always makes me feel better when I'm feeling bad. She's someone everyone should look up to. She's so beautiful inside and out. I love her so much. I thank God for bringing her into my life. Alyssa is one of the best people to ever come into my life. 

Some things I have realized thanks to my amazing fiance Rob and my hero Alyssa Milano:

-Stay positive. Life will always have it's ups and downs but it's how you deal with it that makes you the best person you can be. 

-Happiness is a choice. Choose to be happy. look on the best side of life. appreicate what you have and who you have in your life than dwell on what you don't.

-Move on. People who hurt you aren't worth it. I am glad I finally realize this and have real true friends now. 

-Believe. This is one of my favorites. I have 3 major dreams in my life. Meet my hero Alyssa Milano, be a published writer, and be with Rob forever! Believe in yourself and your dreams. Your dreams will come true.

-You are loved. Even if you don't feel it at the moment. You are loved. I know who loves me. Rob, Alyssa, Delphine, Jen, Dani, Lisa, Lippy, Sarah, Ellen and more. 

-Spread the love, happiness, and compassion. One of the best ways to lift up your spirits and spirits of others is to help others in need. Even if you can't donate money, donate your time, or at least make someone smile. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel about yourself.
