 Life’s unexpected happens in our lives and the rug is pulled out from under us. Maybe it is a career change, finances, a health crisis, a relationship gone wrong or a child enduring a hardship.  Have you reached the depths of despair? Do you try to muster up the strength to put one foot in front of the other? Do you plead for your aching heart to become whole again?  Maybe you have begged for fear to stop chasing you? Are you being strong for a loved one but inside you are broken, physically and emotionally drained? 

 Friends, there were a few times in my life that left me shaken. Yes, my world was turned upside down. My fifteen-year marriage was ending. I started a new position in corporate America and was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor. Meanwhile, I had two teenage boys who were at a very impressionable time in their lives. 

 After a few years of intense self discovery and healing,  I had new decisions in life to make that opened the door to feeling vulnerable.  Does the word '"trust" make you want to slam the door shut? Do I live life protecting myself from getting hurt or take a chance? Maybe there was someone who is different, maybe I could experience true love? I found love and allowed myself to be loved again with the man I now call my husband, Scott. 

 I soon found out that my brain surgery had left me with residual tumor that was active. I wrestled with the fact of needing injections for the rest of my life.  My once beautiful long blonde hair now shadowed me on every shirt, my bathroom floor, the seat of my car, you get it. I did not feel beautiful, I did not look like the women my new husband fell in love with. Lesson learned, beauty flows much deeper than our physical appearance. Beauty is grace that radiates within our spirit. 

 My strong spiritual faith and investment in personal growth has led me to teach others how to live mindful and embrace their inner peace. I have stood in the fire and walked through the shadows of doubt. I believe the journey of life is filled with silver linings. I trust that no tear is wasted and beauty is made from ashes. I like you, have felt pain and lived through times of uncertainty. I have learned that through despair comes growth, followed by the happiness you deserve. My friends, I have so much hope for you and your future. I am honored to teach each of you the path to “Live Mindful-Embrace Your Inner Peace.”

Much Love and Gratitude,

Leea
