My Inspiration

Little did I know that a kid born in the 60's would have her own web page, but here I am, kicking and screaming, but I know it's the way of the world if I want my soul to learn and grow.  If I am to begin a new life, living without my sister's physical presence then I suppose all doors are possible.  My inspiration to write and keep it real, not only comes from my upbringing, but from the recent death of my sister.  She was only 41-years old, leaving behind  two beautiful children, Frankie and Maria, and departing from her wonderful husband, Frank.  She passed on to her new life on December 11th of 2009.  Yes, I say NEW LIFE, because even though I miss her terribly, I know she is there.  She is yet another woman who lived and suffered through the wrath of breast cancer, but I don't believe she let it trample her spirit.  As I move from the Caring Bridge Site that we began back on August of 2007, describing her journey with breast cancer; I want to document her life more in detail, what she meant for me, sharing her journey and our growth as sisters, especially during this time we call "grief."  I'm not sure where this will lead, but there is so much to be said about our family.  Many stories of kids growing up in the Meyer household, as well as stories of my dear Chrissy, whom I hope will strike a chord with you, and perhaps remind you of someone in your family.  Maybe you are dealing with a terminal illness or possibly someone very close to you who is ill or dying.  My hope is to shed some light, some truth, some experiences that will be a driving force for you to become the person that you are meant to be.  It's indescribable at times, the intense pain of having someone so close......just be gone.....be gone in body, but not spirit.  As I go forward with this blog or website, whatever the verbage, I hope you'll be able to see a "soul on a journey."  Trust me when I say, I am a work in progress. 

My faith in a Higher Power also inspires me to write and share my growth as I go along on this trip.  A trip that I hope to learn more, read more and grow in knowledge.  I'm not a savvy one on this internet/cyberspace stuff (as I sit here consulting my Webster's Dictionary), but I hope my words will inspire.  My purpose is to also find what it is that God wants me to do in this world.  I am a mother of three:  Eric, Luke and Faith and I am married to my best friend, Marty, who continues to keep it real for me.  He is the spark that keeps my fire alive, and I am forever grateful for his support and his constant love through everything.  Right there alone is my purpose as a wife and mother, but I think there's more, so much more for me.  So if you wish, come along and travel the road with me.  I know Chrissy is traveling with me, and I can't wait to share more with you about her beautiful spirit....the little sister who taught me so much.  She was a fighter until the very end of her earthly life, and I know she's fighting for us here on earth.....I feel her presence but I'm always searching for more.  Walk with me, if you will, and we'll find the way.   By the way, that's me on the left and my beautiful sissy on the right in February of 2009.
