Ray of Sunshine

Hello world. How have you been?

I am here to tell you that life happens. But everything will be ok.

At the beginning of 2015, life threw me a curve ball I was not ready for. I won't get into the long and boring details but the truth is, I didn't know what to do. Doctors were telling me I had a beautiful brain with strange brain activity. What was that supposed to mean?! All I knew was that everything had changed.

The first thing I decided to do was to rely on my faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has always been a comfort and the greatest blessing in my life. Instead of having a constant pity party for myself, I decided to rely on my Savior for just about everything. Best decision I've ever made.

I won't lie, I had good days and bad days. Still do. Everyone does.

But the best part about the bad days are the people who are able to turn them into the greatest days. Friends and family definitely did everything and anything they could think of to keep me happy. Their support was truly a gift.

On April 6th, my new upside down life was turned right side up. Life would not go back to normal but I had a new normal and I was incredibly happy with that.

I found rays of sunshine and happiness when it could have been dark and gloomy. As a result of these crazy few months, I dyed a small part in the front of my hair blonde and call it a ray of sunshine. When I look in the mirror it will be a reminder to me that life goes on and bad days are just days that can become spectacular. I hope when other people see my random blonde streak it will make them smile.

All in all, I am healthy, moving forward, and loving life :)
