Happy New Year!

What a year!  It truly was a year of ups and downs, but isn’t that how most years are? I must say, the beginning of the year started off like many others.  I set New Year’s resolutions along with goals and action plans to achieve them.  God had a different plan (As he usually does) July 1, 2014 changed our lives.

As I wrote in November, “This has been quite an adjustment period. In a few short months I went from feeling healthy to having breast cancer.  I have had to conquer the fear of surgery, the fear of pain , the fear of what I would look like, not to mention, ‘Am I going to survive this’  I had to come face-to-face with the losses cancer would bring me and stop beating myself up. “

AND I DID!  I am not the same person who made those resolutions and goals a year ago. Cancer has redefined me.   One of greatest lessons has been not to just ASK for HELP, but EXCEPT!   When I could clearly state my needs, they got met.  As I sit back and reflect on 2014 and all the love I feel, the appreciation for what I have and the opportunities I have been given I feel such gratitude for God bringing me on his journey.  The goals and action plan I designed for 2014 was not the one I intended to follow. This definitely was not the road I would have chosen to ride on, but it was the road chosen for me and I have been guided along the way.

So during this last month of radiation,  I Cindy Sheridan Murphy see, hear, feel and know the purpose of my life is to be a passionate, fun, healthy women, to embrace what I already have and to share my gifts with others
