(Keep Breathing)

I've decided to write another blog as I was inspired tonight by a late night movie I watched on Bravo. The movie was 'Wit' and starred Emma Thompson. It's about a hard nosed professor who was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and she reflects on her reactions to the cycle the cancer takes, the treatments, and significant events in her life. The movie touched me and although I typically write with alot of humour, I think it's important to touch on the seriousness and very personal side of what many of us are facing and going through.

When faced with our very mortality our entire existence can be rocked, our foundation moves beneath our feet and our very souls tremble as our lost faith is tested. We look for answers where sometimes they cannot be found. We ask the powers above to grant us time to make amends and fix past mistakes. We beg the secret gods to give us more time to live the life we've always wanted to live. Then we pray or meditate or look inward for the strength to move forward with grace as we fight for our survival.

At some point in our lives we are all touched by adversity. For some this is fighting a life threatening disease such as cancer. Others are plagued with loss of losing loved ones to such diseases. Many fight the emotional battle of psychological disorders and depression that lead some to suicide. Thousands of woman and children are desperate to escape the grips of domestic abuse. Millions of others around the world try in vain daily to flee violence, poverty, oppression & racism.

As we all forge forward fighting our own individual battles may we never lose sight of the simplicity of faith. Each of us carry our own definition of this and find it in our own way. Faith can simply mean we have hope that we can and will concur our own current battles. Truly concurring our battles means never dismissing the plight of others.

Remember to simply 'Keep Breathing' and know you are not alone. May positive energy continue to wrap its arms around those of you struggling to remember this. Live your best life right now.
