3 Year Kidneyversary

1095 days, 3 years is the amount of bonus time I have been given, because of a living donor kidney transplant and God still needing me on this planet.

It has been the most amazing and most difficult 3 years of my entire life. I have lived more authentic and intentional than I ever imagined. But real talk, every month, when I get my labs, I wonder, how much more life will I be granted? Having that hyper awareness is both a blessing and a challenge. 

Most of us live a life through illusion, based only on perception and conditioning. Once we become aware of this, and start chiseling away at the layers upon layers of walls/blinders, we create a space to allow truth to surround us and eventually, it becomes the only way we can exist. I promise you, what you think is truth is really just an illusion. When you know, it will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. 

I know how cliche this phrase is, don’t wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow is never promised, but if you have ever lost someone unexpectedly, let that be your proof. 

Money is an illusion, you will never feel like you have enough. 

The only thing that really matters are the relationships you build in life. I promise no one will be saying how much money you made in life was the impact you made on their hearts. 

Time is an illusion, we always think we will get more. Whatever that burning desire is on your heart, make it happen right now. Make the reservations and figure it out later. It doesn’t have to be about anyone else, just you, fulfilling your desire.

I never imagined I would make it this long, statistics are meant to be changed. This was my stretch goal of sorts, but now, I no longer live in goal mindset, only present moment to receive all that is meant for me, rather than thinking a goal defines my worth. We miss out on so much waiting for something in the future rather than being present, in the present. 

I’m grateful for this awareness so I can live it out as an example for my kids. Sometimes the greatest gifts we can give them, is through our healing and showing them, better. 

In honor of life today, I encourage anyone reading this to reach out to someone they love and tell them. A simple, I love you, goes a long way.

Through gratitude and celebration, every day has value and is truly a gift meant to be received, not exchanged through distractions. 

Love to you all 💜
