Where to start???? 2008 was an interesting, tragic, transformative year for me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 08 and my life just got more and more interesting from then on! With the help of family, friends and a set of journal emails that I consistently sent out I made it through the year in good spirits and became a more enlightened person. Sometimes going through hell and coming out the other side inspires you.
I was inspired by the people all around me during my year from hell to be a stronger, better and a more gracious person. I was touched by the generosity of spirit that flowed from people near and far. Some of those people I saw everyday, and some I hadn't seen or communicated with for 12 years! As these people surrounded me like a cloud and helped me float through the year of treatment (instead of free falling on my own) what I had always known was confirmed... I need people and people are good.
It's such a simple concept... people are good and they need each other. However, we lose sight of that!. As I wrote my journal emails simply titled Update. I got lots of encouragement to "do something" with them. They seemed to have inspired those reading them, as much as the people reading them inspired me to keep chugging along! It makes sense. Most life traumas we encounter have us run the same set of emotions. Although I was working my way through cancer, others were working their way through divorces, death, pregnancy, break ups, etc. We all need to know others understand us and relate.
So there it was the opportunity to create a place online to all come together and Spark each other to be stronger, better and more enlightened! Those Sparks are little moments of connection with others that lift our spirits, help us cope, teach us and help us understand life more clearly.
So let's Spark each other! Let's talk about the big and the small things that bring joy to life. From the smallest to the largest topics. Let's not be a doom and gloom blog let's talk about how to be happy from the inside out! This is the place to learn to make every moment important. Think of it as using fine china at the kids table...hell why not...what are we waiting to use the fine china for!
Let's go...let the Sparks fly!
