Mine is not an unusual story-just a humble coming to appreciation of life. After a lifetime of self sabatoge,wasted time and fractured relationships, a moment of clarity and Grace brought me to my knees and the wonderful gifts of recovery.My mother was losing her struggle with cancer (and eventually returned to the loving arms of the Creator),my dad endured several cardiac surgeries, newly relocated to be present for our family I was in search of a job, trying to single parent two young daughters and everything seemed chaotic and uncertain. Thankfully a wonderful network developed and we helped each other through mutual challenges with the idea of "just keep putting one foot in front of the other-do the next right thing-do what's right in front of you".In other words, Just keep livin! This IS a simple philosophy-a lifestyle of staying in the moment-not looking too far out, but keep moving forward. I have a sense of Faith, peace,hope and gratitude that comes from within.Knowing all's right with the world when I put forth my best effort,living my best life. Today things are infinitely more beautiful and sacred than I ever could have dreamed. What a gift. Thanks to JKLivin for the beautiful tribute and incredible work your foundation does with our precious youth. Just keep doin what you do! You rock!
