Martina McBride - I'm Gonna Love You Through It

Everyone needs someone to love them through it!

These men & women who are battling cancer are fighting for their lives. If you know someone who has been diagnosed, whether it's recent or not, know that they NEED you to love them through it & show it......sometimes loving them just means stopping in for a quick hello & sometimes it means sending them a quick note in the mail to let them know you're thinking of them & sometimes it just means sitting with them during their treatment that week.

No matter how strong you think that person is strength grows in numbers, so be another person standing by their side through it & know that it makes a difference. Each of us can help make a difference & I encourage you to do so in whatever way you know how to b/c I guarantee he or she will feel your love.

MUCH Love,

Daughter

Good Shive Low CD Release Party

Tonia & I at Good Shive Low CD Release Party

10-14-2011

It was a great show & I was SO thankful to have been a part of this night for such an AMAZING band. These guys are UNREAL & I LOVED every minute of the show....even when it had to get moved to the indoor stage b/c noise levels were just TOO loud....CLEARLY a good sign of a SUCCESSFUL event. Congratulations Good Shive Low!!!!

BIG HUGE thanks to these guys for collecting donations for my 3-Day for the Cure walk & passing out TEAM JORDAN bracelets!!! Not only are they AMAZINGLY talented, but they're incredibly kind & generous to help me raise money for this year's walk.

Their music isn't like ANY other band you've heard and I can guarantee you'll want to download their WHOLE cd after listening to just one song like I did.

If Tonight Is My Last- Laura Izabor

Today marks 2 months of Mom being healed & in the arms of God. I dedicate this video to my sister, C, on behalf of our Mom. Mom spent her last moments with C & I by her side.....Mom had exactly what she wanted & needed and that was for us to be right by her side loving her.

I love you sweetie....and so does Mom!!

Love you super duper,

Sister

Break Thru - Natasha Bedingfield - Strip Me

I miss you Mom!

I'll spend the rest of my life trying to help people find their "Break Thru" & help be by their side in honor of my Mom. She will always be in my heart & always be my inspiration to be more...to do more...to love more...to do everything I can to find everyone a "Break Thru" when they're fighting cancer. I miss her SO much, but I know she's watching over me guarding, protecting and guiding me in this mission.

LOTS of Love,

Daughter

Jon Christopher Davis, "Relay For Life," for the American Cancer Society

Good morning!!!!

Okay, so I'm sitting here trying to get some work done & I have my iPod on shuffle & this song came up.... A few months ago I had come across it online somewhere & couldn't help but download it. =) Not sure how many of you have heard this song, but with the Relay for Life coming up I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Lots of Love,

Daughter

Bruce Springsteen - Glory Days

So....as far back as I can remember, Mom & I would listen to Bruce Springsteen and talk about how we'd marry him one day...yep, that's right...both of us, lol. Not too sure how that all was gonna work out, but it sounded good to us and we agreed (wink, wink). What did I really know about anything in 3rd grade....well...I knew that I REALLY liked his music and that he was "The Boss". And it's funny, b/c he's someone I still listen to today & he's even made it to my ipod. YAY for shuffle & The Boss when he comes on!!

I've been wanting to post one of his songs for awhile now, but wasn't sure which one until today. I thought "Glory Days" seemed appropriate.

I try to teach E&K to enjoy their days today, but I also try to teach them the value of today. I know that sounds silly, I mean, they're only 6 1/2 (they'll be 7 next week)... But I want them to love others, be kind to others, be thoughtful, be polite....be all of the things that God planned & hoped for us to be to ourselves & others. I want them to be happy with every "today" that they have. I don't want them to look back & wish for the past to be their present. I feel like if we are kind... loving... thoughtful... & polite that we can be happy with our choices and we won't need to look back to find our "Glory Days" but rather we can look at all of our days as "Glory Days".

Some of the ways that Mom & I have "Glory Days" are just having fun, smiling & laughing at ourselves...I'll have to ask permission before I post pictures, lol. Sometimes we wear pink wigs up to the doctor's office, or in public, you never know! We've had SO many comments & compliments when we do that...we should do it more often. And sometimes just painting each other's finger/toenails is fun, except for Mom when I spend an hour painting JUST her toes. Sorry Mom!!

I hope today is a "Glory Day" for you & those that you love....

MUCH LOVE,

Daughter

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!

I downloaded this song on my phone for E&K and I can't help but SMILE from ear to ear every time I hear this song. The YouTube version is a little bit quicker than what I have on my phone, but couldn't resist posting....hopefully you're at least grinning as you watch this. ;)

Joshua Radin-Brand new day

Today REALLY is a "Brand New Day."

Lots of Love,

Life's a "Rollercoaster Ride"

Life's certainly a "Rollercoaster Ride". But as sure as you're feeling down, you'll be back up before you know it. =)

Sara Bareilles - Breathe Again with lyrics

Don't lose your faith...God is there to help keep you strong through this journey. Keep your faith strong! He's there for you EVERY "breath" you take. Look inside...your faith will help you, he will help you, he's EVERYWHERE watching over you.

XOXO,

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts Official Video

EVERYTIME I hear this song I can't help but think of this as a simile to women (& men) battling breast cancer. It brings tears to my eyes, but happy tears, when you see that she regains her strength & triumphs as he (the cancer) crumbles right there in front of her.

James Blunt - Calling Out Your Name [Lyrics]

I dedicate this to my mom and anyone else out there battling cancer. "Lift your head up high" because someone cares & someone is out there "Calling out your name".

Mom, I love you more than ANYTHING & I will ALWAYS be here to "Call out your name" because TOGETHER we will not let cancer define you. This will only build you stronger, stronger than you EVER were before. iHEART YOU MOM.

XOXO,

Daughter of Yours
