“Don’t Dream it… be it.” ~ What my Cancer scare taught me

I promised I would go more in depth about my cancer scare the previous week and here it is. That moment where your life flashes before your eyes and you think of all the things you’ve done, haven’t done, and what you leave behind… that was me when I got the test results for abnormal cells. It’s something that happens from time to time with people occasionally yes, but what worried me was that My Dr. didn’t like these in particular. My stomach dropped into my flip flops and the next thing I knew, it was Biopsy time( That very same day, God bless Tri-care). All I could think about was what I’d leave behind for my children if that test came back positive and I lost my battle. Now I’m not a negative person, so I didn’t dwell on that thought, but I’m human so it occurred.

For the longest week of my life I thought about my legacy, my goals, my accomplishments, and my blessings, because really so many wonderful things have happened to me in my thirty-one years. It was sobering and inspiring at the same time. At the end of a week’s wait, I was blessed , yet again, with a negative test result. But that mindset remained. I had a fire lit under me and a clear path set ahead of me.

Sometimes you need to step back re assess, and go from there. In the words of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. “Don’t Dream it Be it.” After the scare I came back better, and ready to tackle my dreams head-on. I hit the ground running and started working toward where I want to be and who I want to be. It made me wonder why it takes a scare like that to give us a swift kick in the bum.

If you found out your time might be limited, what would you do? Now how can you work toward those goals now? Isn’t the perception a fresh pair of eyes brings, amazing? I now have a bunch of irons in the fire now. Some I can’t reveal just yet…though I am bursting at the seams with the secrecy. ( I promise I’ll be sharing it as soon as I can.) This I can share, myself published book will be titled Cursed. Here’s the blurb and because I really like y’all! Look for, Cursed, around Halloween, and keep your eyes peeled for excerpts next month!

Blurb

It’s common knowledge the Edgeworth men are unlucky in love. Great, great, grandpa bought them a one way ticket to heart break when he romanced the local witch’s daughter, took her money and disappeared off into the sunset. Ashamed the Voiles moved away, until now. As the eldest son, it’s up to him to persuade the Voiles women to remove the curse. He realizes quickly he wants to keep, Avalyn Voiles for himself. Now he just needs to make her believe his affections are real and overcome decades of bad blood…

Avalyn’s spent her whole life hearing her grandmother bad mouth the Edgeworth family. So, the last thing she expects when she returns to Baxter, was for the witty, charming, sexy Colton to be her perfect match. Should she take a chance on love and risk history repeating itself?
