“My life is raw, authentic, and focused on giving back to the journey God has given me; I want to leave this earth a better place with answers and education on Lyme and invisible chronic disease.”
“I took the same pride in my dishwashing job as a child as I take in running my company today.”
“I always like to remind myself that the most honorable people of all are not those who never make mistakes, but those who admit to them when they do and then move on and do their best to right the wrongs they have made.”
“I will continue to pave the way and share my health journey with the world until I find a cure and proper diagnostic testing for this silent killer called Lyme disease.”
“All of my gifts really come from a place of healing. I have homemade essential oils with a diffuser, which I've given to all my kids.”
“The Lyme disease had so severely affected my brain functioning that it was extremely hard for me to think, form sentences, and stay focused.”
“We who suffer from chronic Lyme can only ask for our loved ones to try to understand and be compassionate about this invisible disease.”
“I can sleep fine at night knowing that even though my honesty might not translate very diplomatically, the words I speak have good intent, and I live my life with great integrity.”
“Life doesn't always go according to plan, and we don't always act in a way that represents who we are. What matters is that these moments become teaching moments.”
“People probably perceive me as a bit boring because I am a little slow in the humor department, but it's just hard for me to get jokes when they're told in English. I am always the last one to get it.”
“It's interesting as a mom to reflect on your own parenting skills. The core of our beliefs may stay the same, but our perspective changes over the years and evolves with each child that comes through us.”
“Religion is a very sensitive subject and reason for wars all over the world.”
“Lyme has brought me to my knees; this disease is a silent killer and does not have a face.”
“Becoming chronically ill has definitely given me a greater understanding of human nature, and I've learned to accept people's lack of long-term compassion for others while they live their busy lives.”
“I grew up cleaning stalls and milking cows.”
“There is very little magic in the world of the chronically ill.”
“I understand now that my soul is my power, not perfection or my ego. I continue to teach this to my children, despite their glamorous careers. If we can maintain our core values, the exteriors take second place and become a gift, a source of gratitude.”
“The core of people don't change... what you see is what you get.”
“Some people come into our life as a blessing, while others come into our life as a lesson, so love them for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not.”
“I have tried the fancy, superficial life in my past, but I quickly learned that diamonds are not my best friend.”
