When my dad died i had no idea how many things he did not inform my mom about. Bills, insurance, household things, etc. I have made sure that everything is in my name, I know all the ins and outs of absolutely everything. I will not let it happen for my children if something happens to me.

In college, failing a test forced me to decide my level of commitment.

Both of my parents were diagnosed with cancer when I was in my 30's. I'm an only daughter. I worked at the office and tutored after work. They were in different hospitals. I loved them so much and I was devastated, wondering if I was going to be all alone - the fear was tremendous. But I worked my butt off and never lost hope, telling myself to be stronger and tougher so everything was going to be okay. Fortunately they both survived. I can overcome anything if I survived it.

I am facing one now. My spouse of 30 years is terminally ill. I am the only one caring for him. For 18 years. He is so unappreciative, and it is hard to be positive in this situation. This has changed me, and not for the better.......

2 years ago I was strong enough to leave a long term toxic relationship. After leaving I was determined to finally start taking care of myself and to be that person I once was. It was not easy, I am grateful for my 3 young grandchildren that gave me the courage I needed to work hard everyday. I now have my self esteem back, my mental and physical health are much better but still need more work. I have learned a lot about myself through the healing and I will be single for the rest of my life before I would let anyone treat me that way again!!!!

I was challenged to forgive someone after a serious betrayal and with God's grace I did.

Deciding to pack up and move my family across the country for a job was the hardest decision I've had to make.

I've faced many challenges in my life, and God has used them for me to help others going through similar things. Brain surgery in 2003 was a huge challenge, but I made it through! :)

I grew even more when I had to take on guardianship of a nephew with special needs, after raising my own children.
