These past 30 years, I've learned a few things:
- I know my body. If I'm not feeling well, I need to listen and force doctors to listen and act.
- Life is a gift I treasure everyday.
- Never make a New Year's Resolution. That day doesn't have meaning for me. I make a resolution every November.
- Make specific resolutions I can keep. I never promise to lose a dress size. I promise to be up front about my condition, to ask for accommodations when needed, to volunteer 30 hours for the year, etc.
- Never hide the scar. It's a source of pride, strength, love. It reminds me that I'm lucky. There are people worse off than me.
- Give back. I feel great volunteering. I may have physical limitations, but I can still help someone else.
- Know my limits.
- Never be afraid to ask.
- Failure is not doing anything.
- It's ok to ask for help.
- Love really is the most important thing in the world.
- Reach for the stars.
