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.

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.

Repeating Myself.

I have been repeating myself on this issue in blog posts before but I can't help it. When I read that tweet that My Hero and favorite actress Alyssa tweeted as a reply it broke my heart. She said " Agreed. There should be a law against it. And this is why I don't leave the house." This talking about those greedy, selfish, vultures the paparazzi. It broke my heart to read that. Alyssa is an amazing, wonderful, beautiful, inspirational woman and mother and she should not have to stay in her house because of the paparrazi taking pics of her and her son. I actually feel guilty for having a normal life which Alyssa so deserves so much. She should be able to go and come as she pleases without having to look over her shoulder for the paparrazi. I have read that there are laws against the paparrazi in countries overseas. Why can't we have that here in the US where it so needed? Alyssa does all she can to help make our world a better place and we should at least find a way to have tougher laws on the papparrazi. It's so dangerous too. They cause vehicle crashes and all sorts of things. They can scare children like Alyssa's son. It's horrible and breaks my heart and that's why I can't stop writing about it. I love, admire, and respect Alyssa so much for everything she is and does and I won't stop writing about this until something changes. I just hope change happens before something tragic happens again. What will it take to enact tougher laws against the paparrazi? Why does that need to happen for something to change? I wish I knew. I will just continue to pray for Alyssa every night before I go to bed. I hope one day something changes for good. 

First Blog Post of 2012!

So it's the first day of the new year 2012 wow that came fast. A new year to start fresh and make things happen. good things i might add. My resolutions are to meet my fiance Rob in person and to figure out how to get all the drama and negativity out of my life. So much bad and good happened in 2011. I met the love of my life Rob thanks to Twitter and Alyssa Milano my hero, idol, and biggest inspiration! I love them both so much and they mean more to me than anything! However there were some bad so much drama and hatred among people who used to be friends. So much going back and forth. I came to twitter almost 2 years ago to find friendship and fun and I did and I found love too but I also found loss and pain. I don't understand why I all of sudden started getting picked on and I still don't. I just wish it would stop. I wish everything would stop, the name calling, hurtful words, making fun, and just drama in general i just wish it would stop. People acting like children when we should be adults and cyberbulling too. It's just all ridiculous really. Well 2012 is the year all of that ends I am sick and tired of it. It's not fair to me or the other people who have to read it in their timelines and stuff. The hurting and bullying must end. 

the loss of a friend especially someone considered a best friend is hard for anyone and me. I have cried over a certain friend so much over the past year. It hurts so much feeling pushed aside. No matter how many times I have been told differently I always felt the end of the friendship was near. I will always care about and love that certain friend but I feel like it's getting to the point where I just have to let go and move on. It's so hard to differeniate these days between real friends and not but I know who mine are. 

I am sick of people being mean to Alyssa. I wish that would end too. She has a huge compassionate heart and tries to make our world a better place and some people just have to be rude and mean and it breaks my heart. I know I have said this plenty of times but I can't help it. Seeing people being rude and mean to her just breaks my heart. I love her so much and I just wish people could see her the way I do. 

But life goes on and a New Year brings new possiblities and hope for change for the better. Maybe I am just being optimistic but I can only hope and try to change things for the better. I hope 2012 brings happiness and end to the drama! Hope 2012 is great for all!
